Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Kind of finished the job on that other one. Lazy work on that chord!
Try using a capo on some of the first frets! ;D
[Verse]
DF#mGA Cross the border, into the big bad world DF#m Where it takes you about an hour just to cross the road, GA Just to stumble across another poor old sole, DF#m From the dreary old lanes to the High St madness, GA I fight with my brain to believe my eyes DF#m And it's harder than you think to believe this sadness, GA It creeps up my spine and haunts me through the night
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7 Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous, G Suddenly the air smells much greener now Bm7 And I'm walking around with a half pack of cigarettes A Searching for the change I've lost somehow
[Chorus]
DF#m These Streets, have too many names for me GA I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy DF#mGA I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
[Verse]
DF#mGA Where'd the days go when all we did was lay DF#m And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all, GA Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall DF#m From walking by a high-rise to a landmark square, GA You see millions of people with millions of cares DF#m And I stuggle to the train to make my way home GA I look at the people as they sit there alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7 Life is good and the sun is shining, G Everybody floats to their ideal place Bm7 And the children all smile as the boats shuffle by them, A Trying to pretend that they've got some space.
[Chorus] x2
DF#m These Streets, have too many names for me GA I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy DF#mGA I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7 Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous, G Suddenly the air smells much greener now Bm7 And I'm walking around with a half pack of cigarettes A Searching for the change I've lost somehow
[Chorus] x2
DF#m These Streets, have too many names for me GA I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy DF#mGA I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
