Melody 1 (3x)

G

G

Here a tower shinning bright

C D

Once stood gleaming in the night

C G

Where now there's just the rubble

D

In the hole

C G

Here the paddies and the frogs

C D

Came to gamble on the dogs

G C D

Came to gamble on the dogs not long ago

Oh the torn up ticket stubs

>From a hundred thousand mugs

Now washed away with dead dreams in the rain

And the car-parks going up

And they're pulling down the pubs

And its just another bloody rainy day

Melody 1 (3x)

-Verse Chords over Instrumental part-

Oh sweet city of my dreams

Of speed and skill and schemes

Like Atlantis you just disappeared from view

And the hare upon the wire

Has been burnt upon your pyre

Like the black dog that once raced

Out from trap two

Melody 1 (3x)

-Verse Chords over Instrumental part-

Melody 1 (6x)

End song by holding a G
