Verse Riff x4

Verse 1:

A  E     D     E
This street has changed so much
A     E    D     E
A line of fortresses, look but don't touch
A     E    D     E
I'd like to call on my neighbours one day
A     E    D     E
But their Doberman won't look the other way

Chorus:

E      B   D    A
There's one thing I'd like to know
G     D     A    B
Where did the ordinary people go?

Verse 2:

A     E    D     E
In my street I don't know a soul
A     E    D     E
The walls and fences never have no holes
A     E    D     E
If I could only be your Peeping Tom
A     E        D     E
You could complain about my bonfire burning strong

Chorus:

E      B   D    A
There's one thing I'd like to know
G     D     A    B
Where did the ordinary people go?
E      B   D    A
Nod my head and say hello
G     D     A    B
Where did the ordinary people go?

A  E  D  E
Verse Riff x2

Bridge:

Amaj7     Bmaj7
Money changes everyone
Gmaj7  F#m7
Or so it seems
Amaj7        Bmaj7
There's no community spirit anywhere
F#m7      B
You may say I'm green

Verse 3:

A     E  D   E
In my street we go by car
A     E     D     E
The tinted windows never show who you are
A     E     D     E
If I could see you, I'd complain about the noise
A     E       D     E
I glance across the fence we both might enjoy

Chorus:

E      B     D    A
There's one thing I'd like to know
G     D     A    B
Where did the ordinary people go?
E      B  D A
Nod my head and say hello
G     D      A   B
Where did the ordinary people go?

A E  A  E

A     E     A     E
Where did they go?  The ordinary people
A     E      A     E
Those ordinary people?  The ordinary people
A     E     A     E
Where did they go?  The ordinary people
