Verse 1
Dm C
Son I’m only passing through, I just called by to say
Bb Gm Dm
My respects to an old friend who passed away
Dm C
Tell your Ma, I’ll see her after, I’m not hanging round this place
Bb Gm Dm
The temptation is too much for me to take
Chorus
F
When they found him, he was still
Gm
Stone cold on St. Michael’s hill
Bb C
He scored bad gear in Henrietta Place
Dm
All the drunkards they stay local
C
All the junkies go to town
Bb Gm Dm
So I took my second chance & I got out
Verse 2
Dm C
Son I’m straight but it aint great, I’m barely getting by
Bb Gm Dm
With the boys I ran with dropping off like flies
Dm C
I’m cosying a taxi in the midland’s afternoon
Bb Gm Dm
Delivering their takeaways at night
Chorus
F
Well they’re making their confessions
Gm
In the lounge at funeral sessions
Bb C
There’s only so much sorrow you can drown
Dm
Leaves a trace, does the dark years
C
On the hard faces of your peers
Bb Gm Dm
Only ever leave the stool when it’s their round.
Bridge
F Gm
Still I miss waking up to find the horses in the garden
Bb C
Close the gate, they’ll eat your Mother’s flowers
F
Summer evening on the avenue
Gm
Playing squares or path to pavement
Bb C
A few tins with Sylvester’s & the Powers
Verse 3
Dm C
Son I best be going, I don’t know when I’ll rise again
Bb Gm Dm
Son I’m sorry that our prospects are so bleak
Dm C
A funeral’s a sad excuse to see your only son
Bb Gm Dm
But I’ll be back to my old tricks within a month
Chorus
F
In my head on a clear day
Gm
I hear my late great father say
Bb C
You come from here you only got 3 routes
Dm
Be a drunkard & stay local
C
Be a gear head, go to town
Bb Gm Dm
Or you take your second chance & you get out
F
All the drunkards they stay local
Gm
All the junkies go to town
Bb Gm Dm
So I took my second chance & I got out
