Gospel Lane - Ver 2

Em D7 G A C D G In a poor poor part of town, far away from the glittering lghts G A C D G All the walls are falling down, and it gets pretty bitter at nights C7 F G Here in my room I can hear people cry C Bm and the old down and outs A7 D Will turn their eye towards the sky and wait to die G Bm C G There’s a man next door on the cold hard floor, And I haven’t seen him move his head Bm Am C D And he lies so still that I’m sure he’s ill, And I think that he might be dead G Bm C G If I had my way I’d be gone today and you’d never see me here again Bm Am C D G But my bed and board’s all I can afford in dirty Gospel Lane Em D7 G A C D G Now beside my single bed is a face I can never forget G A C D G Though a photograph is dead, it’s as close as I’m ever to get C7 F G She used to talk of the way things would be C Bm but she just couldn’t wait A7 D And now she’s free, there’s only me for company G Bm C G As the wind blows cold through the great big hole where a window used to be Bm Am C D And I’m all alone in my home sweet home, And I wish that she was here with me G Bm C G If I had my way I’d be gone today and you’d never see me here again Bm Am C D G What’s the use to try, when you’re born to die in dirty Gospel Lane G Bm C G There’s a man next door on the cold hard floor. And I haven’t seen him move his head Bm Am C D And he lies so still that I’m sure he’s ill, And I think that he might be dead G Bm C G If I had my way I’d be gone today and you’d never see me here again Bm Am C D G What’s the use to try, when you’re born to die in dirty Gospel Lane Em D7
