[Intro]
Am G C D (x2)
[Verse 1]
Am F C
In our town there's no comfort around
F G Em Am
Mostly its hunger and toil
C F C
Underground you could dig for a pound
F G Em Am
And disturb the remains of a royal
[Pre-chorus 1]
Dm Em F
With the poor left to drown and the sick and the old
G Am F G
Dunno what trickles down, but it sure isn't gold
[Chorus 1]
F C Em Am
But I'm here with my heart full, like a carnival
Dm Em Am
Sat in my vagrant car park
F C Em Am
And no I'm not Karl Marx, but it makes me laugh
Dm Em F Am
Like flowers you see growing on stony ground
Dm Em F C G F C
And it's time to be going, so farewell stony ground
[Verse 2]
Am F C
It's a scam that makes a rich man
F G Em Am
And this is me doing it my way
C F C
You prefer the term 'entrepeneur'
F G Em Am
But both of us rob on the highway
[Pre-chorus 2]
Dm Em F
I just put up my stand, then moved it along
G Am F G
And I made a few grand long before you caught on
[Chorus 2]
F C Em Am
Now I'm here with my heart full, like a carnival
Dm Em Am
Sat in my vagrant car park
F C Em Am
And no I'm not Karl Marx, but it makes me laugh
Dm Em F Am
Like flowers you see growing on stony ground
Dm Em F C G F C
And it's time to be going, so farewell stony ground
[Instrumental]
Am G C D (x2)
[Verse 3]
Am F C
In our town there are spirits ground down
F G Em Am
While others are living in clover
C F C
they bought shares in apples and air
F G Em Am
And had everywhere mostly paved over
[Pre-chorus 3]
Dm Em F
In this one square of planet that nobody owns
G Am F G
You won't see the rich man drive over my bones
[Chorus 3]
F C Em Am
Cos I'm here with my heart full, like a carnival
Dm Em Am
Sat in my vagrant car park
F C Em Am
And no I'm not Karl Marx, but it makes me laugh
Dm Em F Am
Like flowers you see growing on stony ground
Dm Em F C G F C
And it's time to be going, so farewell stony ground
[Chorus 4]
F C Em Am
And I'm here with my heart full, like a carnival
Dm Em Am
Sat in my vagrant car park
F C Em Am
And no I'm not Karl Marx, but it lights the dark
Dm Em F Am
Like a fair you see showing on stony ground
Dm Em F C G F C
And it's time to be going, so farewell stony ground
