xStreet Life (Nicky Patterson 2006) Am 5|7|7|5|5|5 Em 7|7|9|9|8|7 G 10|10|12|12|12|10 D 10|12|12|11|10|10 C 8|10|10|9|8|8 V1: Am Em …And he sets down his plastic bag Am Em Amongst the rubbish and shite Am Em He ties up his hooded top G D Em And puts his head down for the night V2: But he’ll be lucky if he gets any sleep Because the sirens tend to moan And the old man lying across from him Is as cold as fuckin stone Refrain: C|Em x3 G|D|Am x1 V3: All he needs is a little love And a cup of tea to keep him warm But sure as day we all walk past We’ll never notice when he’s gone V4: He was once a bright young boy With the whole world at his feet But circumstance has let him down And now he’s on the street V5: C Em Street life isn’t easy C Em It’s no fun being all alone C Em We should think of that when we’re walking past G D Am And he’s lying cold as stone Refrain to fade
