The Ballad Of North John Street chords by Ian Prowse

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
D F#m Em D
D F#m Em A

Verse:
      D             F#m
Down in the Crocodile Bar where me and Gareth went too far
   Em           D
And I miss him now he's gone away
      D           F#m
Over in the flash hotel I see the wedding bells
      Em             D
And really hope they have a beautiful day
    G               A
Then I saw there'd be war, frightened people by the score
       Em
Lift up thine eyes to the sky
        G
Here comes the summertime
     A     D
You are a friend of mine

Chorus:
       F#m
My love flows, my heart grows
Em      D
 I'm in your hands
D    F#m
 The city, it owns me
Em       A
 They shall not pass

Verse:
      D        F#m
I'm in the corner shop, my mate Paul stops me
    Em            D
Says "I see you're in the paper today"
       D        F#m
And when the bailiff calls, I shout down the hall
     Em              D
"Ain't nobody lives round here by that name"
   G             A
And I see in a dream, a thousand people in the street
    Em
All in line, putting out fires
      G
Moving the masonry
     A                      D
Trying to help each other recover from what they have seen

Chorus:
       F#m
My love flows, my heart grows
Em      D
 I'm in your hands
D    F#m
 The city, it owns me
Em       A
 They shall not pass

Bridge:
  C
And hey
           D
The air's thick with memories
     C
So let's make some new ones
       D  F#m   Em A
Just you and me    Ooo-ooh-ooooh

Instrumental:
D F#m Em A

Chorus:
D       F#m
 My love flows, my heart grows
Em      D
 I'm in your hands
D    F#m
 The city, it owns me
Em       A
 They shall not pass
D       F#m
 My love flows, my heart grows
Em      D
 I'm in your hands
D        F#m
 I've been there, I don't dare
Em       A
 They shall not pass

Outro:
D F#m G D
D F#m G A
