Nw3 Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 It was G1962

 I was Ctwo years out of Dschool

 When I Ggot on board a boat

 that was Cbound for LiverDpool

 The Gday I went away

 I reCmember it so Dwell

 Said Ggoodbye to the North EmWall

 And Dbid a fond fareGwell

When I got down to the smoke

It was 1963

I got a job doing meals on wheels

Round NW3

I was terrorising grannies

For ten lousy bob a week

I was smashed and blacked

And drunk and young in NW3

In the filth and piss they lived in

They would sometimes hum an air

Or talk in tongues of madness

Keeping time upon the chair

And for their wrists a numbered tab

In Westminster morgue

On a cold hard slab

When I was still a young man

In NW3

Now spent of love and rage

I'm going home again

Never did nobody wrong

Never turned a decent wage

So thanks for sweet fuck all

once more back to the north wall

Said goodbye to all of that

And bid a fond farewell

At the top of the Pentonville Road

I watched the sun setting

The town spread out before me

Looked beautiful to me

Away from all the sighing

The suffering and the dying

I dreamed of the future

Of the young and the free

 But the Gyears they went by quickly

 Now I Cswear I won't Dreturn here

 Where Geach day just bring me closer

 To the Cfinal miserDy

 My Gkids will never scrape shit round here

 And IC won't die crying in a Dpint of beer

 Or Geat their stinking Emmeals on wheels

 In DNWG3.
