City Song  ( Alan Hull )   from:  Fog on the Tyne
---------

Intro:  A, D, G   2 x

1.)
City streets, I see your lies, I will not play your game,
 A				  D		     G
no longer will you speak to me, you think I'm going insane,
 A				      D		      G
but I've forgotten my number now, I'm remembering my name.
 A				        D	      G
I've been too long travelling on your train.
 	   Bm				E


2.)
You tried your best to strangle me, but I could take the pain,
     A				        D		  G
you tried to hypnotise me, but I seen right thru your game,
     A				   D		       G
and now your tatty tricks to me are really rather tame,
     A				      D		   G
I've been too long travelling on your train.
	   Bm				E


Chorus:
City lights don't shine, they glare and music doesn't speak, it swears,
 A*				A~	  A*			  A~
and in your streets the ghosts have forgotten why they're there.
 Dm			  C	       G		   A


Instrumental:  D, G, A, D, G


3.)
Someday soon I know I'm going miles and miles away,
  A				D		G
back to the garden where the magic children play,
  A				D	     G
and to the country lady who knows more than I can say,
    A				   D		   G
whose nights shine brighter than your day.
 	Bm				E


Chorus:
City lights don't shine, they glare and music doesn't speak, it swears,
 A*				A~	  A*			  A~
and in your streets the ghosts have forgotten why they're there.
 Dm			  C	       G		   A

    A*	    A~
