Intro:F |F |Bb |F |Bb |Bb |F |F |C |Bb |F |F |C |Bb |F |F |
Verse 1:
The neon haze of city lights,The tribal sound of marching feet,
Cuts through the gloom on cold dark nights,
The tired and homeless roam the streets,
Instrumental:C |Bb |F |F |
The sirens wail the engines roar,A shadowed man just glances around,
A victim of life`s mindless toil,Lies cold and helpless on the ground.
Chorus 1:
The window dummies silent stare,Bear witness on the night,
If they could move,What would it prove?,To see them all take flight.
Verse 2:
The neon haze of city lights,The tribal sound of marching feet,
Cuts through the gloom on cold dark nights,
The tired and homeless roam the streets,
Instrumental:C |Bb |F |F |
The walls shout loud with angry words,The people air their views,
The poor can scream but no-one hears,The concrete jungle sings the blues.
Chorus 2:
The window dummies silent stare,Bear witness on the night,
If they could move,What it would prove?,To see them all take flight.
Outro:F |F |Bb |F |Bb |Bb |F |F |C |Bb |F |F |C |Bb |F |F |
