1. This dead city longs to be,

      A     G     A   A       G         A

    this dead city longs to be free.

       D           G            A          D            G         A

    Seven screaming horses melt down in the sun,

      D             G            A                                D                G         A

    building scenes on empty dreams and smoking them one by one.

 

       A     G     A   A       G  A

2. This dead city longs to be,

       A     G    A    A       G      A

    this dead city longs to be living.

     D    G      A                        D      G        A

    Is it any wonder there's squalor in the sun,

                       D            G                      A

    with their broken schemes and their lotteries,

              D             G           A

    they never will get nowhere.

    D    G      A                       D      G          A

+ Is it any wonder they're spitting at the sun,

                D     G            A        

    God's parasites in abandoned sites,

                     D        G               A

    and they never have much fun.

3. If I was a blind man would you see for me,

            A                  G                     A  

    or would you confuse the nature of my blues,

                A         G         A 

    and refuse a hand to me.

    D     G      A           D     G        A

    Is it any wonder crying in the sun ?

     D    G      A                D      G        A

    Is it any wonder I'm crying in the sun ?

                 D             G                    A

    Well, I built my dreams on your empty scenes,

                    D                 G          A

    now I'm burning them one by one.

 

       A     G      A     A      G    A

4. This damn city, this dead city,

           A G   A      A  G  A

    immortal city, motor city.

       A     G   A    A       G  A    A      G  A   A       G A

    Success city, longs to be, longs to be, longs to be

A - G - A

                Free !

A - G - A

                Free !

A - G - A               - A - G - A

                Free !
