INTRO
[Emaj7] [E7] (x3)
VERSE 1
The [E] building was [C] grey
[Amaj7] Chipping the [C#7] paint
It was [G6] tired and [A] fallen and [Emaj7] poor [E7]
The [E] figure was [C] dim
[Amaj7] Hand on the [C#7] seat
Would it [G6] just take the [A] wheels through the [Emaj7] door [E7]
The [C#m] island of [A6] beech
[Eb7] Brimming with [Ab] royalty
[C#7] Desperate for [F#7] something to [A] say [Fmaj7]
And [E] so there are [C] those
[Amaj7] Taken by [C#7] bluster
They [G6] turn on the [A] side of a [Emaj7] coin [E7] [Emaj7] [E7]
[A] [F/A] [Dmaj7] [F#] [C6] [Bm7] [Amaj7] [Emaj7]
