[Verse]
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
Beneath the old iron bridges, across the Victorian parks
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
And all the frightened people running home before dark
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
Past the Saturday morning cinema that lies crumbling to the ground
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
And the piss stinking shopping center in the new side of town
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
I've come to smell the seasons change
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
And watch the city as the sun goes down again
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
| Em Asus2 | F#m7 Baug |
[Chorus]
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
Here comes another winter of long shadows
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
And hi-i-igh hopes
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
Here comes another winter waitin' for utopia
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B [ Asus2 ]
Waitin' for hell to freeze over

Asus2 Asus2/B Em C
This is the land where nothing changes
Asus2 Asus2/B Em C
The land of red buses and blue blooded babies
Asus2 Asus2/B Em D5
This is the place, where pensioners are raped
Asus2 Asus2/B Em C
And the hearts are being cut from the welfare state
Asus2 Asus2/B Em D5
Let the poor drink the milk while the rich eat the honey
Asus2 Asus2/B Em C
Let the bums count their blessings while they count the money

Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
So many people can't express what's on their minds
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
Nobody knows them and nobody ever will
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
Until their backs are broken and their dreams are stolen
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
And they can't get what they want then they're gonna get angry
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
Well it ain't written in the papers, but it's written on the walls
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
The way this country is divided to fall
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
So the cranes are moving on the skyline
Em Asus2 F#m7 Baug
Trying to ... knock down ... this town
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
But the stains on the heartland, can never be removed
Em Asus2 F#m7 Em/B
From this country that's sick, sad, and confused

[Middle 8]
Asus2 Asus2/B Em C
The ammunition's being passed and the lords been praised
Asus2 Asus2/B Em C
But the wars on the televisions will never be explained
Asus2 Asus2/B Em D5
All the bankers gettin' sweaty beneath their white collars
Asus2 Asus2/B Em C
As the pound in our pocket turns ... into a dollar
