Am C D G
Well I kissed the day, I was on my way
Am C E
From those cold grey blocks of stone
Am C D G
For seventeen years of squalor filled tears
Am C G Am
A time now with innocence lost
C G
As the sun split the room with its rays filled with gloom
Am E7
Turnin' all hope to despair
Am C D G
And the only thing left was to flee from the nest
Am C G Am
That was life in a Tenement Square
Am C D G
I remember the song where the rats sang along
And danced for their daily bread
G Am
Grab what's left of the coal from the ole cubbyhole
G Am
These cinders need more to be a fire
G Am
While the ghosts of the soldiers that lived there before us
C G Am
Laugh with their guns by their sides
C G Am
I hear them laugh, with their guns by their sides
Solo: (play it messily!)
