G Em
Grace Cathedral hill all wrapped in the
C
bones of a setting sun all dust and stone
D
and moribund I paid twenty-five cents to
D7 G
light a little white candle for a New Year's
Em
Day I sat and watched it burn away then
C
turned and weaved through the slow decay
D D7
We were both a little hungry so we went
G Em
to get a hotdog Down the Hyde St Pier the light was slight and
C D
dissapeared The air it sunk of fish and beer We heard
D7
a superman trumpet play the National Anthem
CHORUS
C G Em C
And the world may belong for you but he'll
G Em C Cm
never belong to you But on a motorbike when
D D7
all the city lights blind your eyes tonight are you
C D G Em
feeling better now Are you feeling be ttttter nooooww
C Cm
Are you feeling better now
VERSE 2
Some way to greet the year your eyes all
bright and brimmed with tears The
pilgrims pills and tourist here all sing
Fifty three bucks to buy a brand new halo
I'm sweet on a green-eyed girl all fiery
Irish clip and curl all brine and piss and
vinegar I paid twenty-five vents to light a little white candle
CHORUS
And the world maybe be long for you but he'll
never belong to you But on a motorbike when
all the city lights blind your eyes are you
feeling better now
