City Of Smoke

C October winds blow the river low Em The nights are getting quickly cold F D North royal lights guide me back home C South down the 6 to the 403 Em By strawberry sunflowers, golden seeds F D In the city of smoke I got a girl on Paradise Road C Back in the village there's a festival Em A drunken fox, a twilight minstrel F D Rosy's in the window, she's waiting on me C And downtown at the station their selling destinations Em To lovers who wait in cold wind F D Heavy rain, lost thunder, blue lightning C This town won't be the same in the winter Em As it was in the story book summer F D Every time I hear thunder I think of her C Princess shores, swimming pool invasions Em Houses on the hill where the cops are waiting F D Middle of the street, sweet sweet good-nights C Street lights play fortune sellers Em Strolled underneath them thinking how I can tell her F D Those were the good old nights, good friend of mine C I go under the bridges and around the lake Em In the city of smoke, home to these bones I break F Home, their is no other place D It's a favorite song, it's a favorite taste C South down the 6 to the 403 Em By strawberry sunflowers, golden seeds F D In the city of smoke I got a girl on Paradise Road
