The Kinks (1963–1996; 2018-present) is an English pop-rock group that came out of the British R&B scene of the early 1960s. Formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray Davies and Dave Davies in 1964 and categorised in the United States as a "British Invasion" band, the Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era. In 1990, their first year of eligibility, the original four members were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Em Em7M Em7Em6C7M She was sick and tired of country life. Em A little country home, A little country folk, B7 Made her blood run cold. A7 Now her mother pines her heart away, Em Looking for her child in the big black smoke, Em In the big black smoke.
Em Em7M Em7Em6C7M Frailest, purest girl the world has seen, Em According to her Ma, according to her Pa, B7 And everybody said, A7 That she knew no sin and did no wrong, Em Till she walked the streets of the big black smoke, Em Of the big black smoke.
B7 Well she slept in caffs and coffee bars and bowling alleys, EmB7 And every penny she had GB7 Was spent on purple hearts and cigarettes.
Em Em7M Em7Em6C7M She took all her pretty coloured clothes, Em And ran away from home, And the boy next door B7 For a boy named Joe. A7 And he took her money for the rent Em And tried to drag her down in the big black smoke, Em In the big black smoke. Em In the big black smoke. Em In the big black smoke.
