In the ghostly morning

Sunlets shimmer on the leaves

He’s watching
Smoking

The cherubs are choking

C#                           B                     F#        F7

Holding on to your sleeves

The streets you walk everyday

Sun and rain

Down to the subway train

And back again

That you retrace

Take you to some other place

It’s not too late

You’re on your way

There’s bouquets at the schoolgates

Last nights joyride

You look up

And the gargoyles leer

Who’ll tame the torment?

Who’ll pay the rent?

Who cares?

You’re out of here

And back again

The streets you walk everyday

Focus
Your mind

Stop at the cashline

Before you go down the Great Western Road

F#

He’ll never find you

B

Leave these streets behind you

C#                                        B                  F#    F#7

You never reaped what you sowed

The streets you walk everyday

Ebmin

Sun and rain

Down to the subway train

And back again

The streets you walk everyday

Take you to some other place

You’re on your way

Lyrics

Blossom
Falling
In the ghostly morning
Sunlets shimmer on the leaves
He’s watching
Smoking
The cherubs are choking
Holding on to your sleeves

The streets you walk everyday
Sun and rain
Down to the subway train
And back again
The streets you walk everyday
That you retrace
Take you to some other place
It’s not too late
You’re on your way

There’s bouquets at the schoolgates
Last nights joyride
You look up
And the gargoyles leer
Who’ll tame the torment?
Who’ll pay the rent?
Who cares?
You’re out of here

The streets you walk everyday
Sun and rain
Down to the subway train
And back again
The streets you walk everyday
That you retrace
Take you to some other place
It’s not too late
You’re on your way

Focus your mind
Stop at the cashline
Before you go down the Great Western Road
He’ll never find you
Leave these streets behind you
You never reaped what you sowed

The streets you walk everyday
Sun and rain
Down to the subway train
And back again
The streets you walk everyday
That you retrace
Take you to some other place
It’s not too late
You’re on your way

Alternate Tunings

D A F# D A D (capo 4th fret)

( The F# in this tuning is low, so its best to use an A string guage and also a D string guage for where the G would be)
