[Verse]
Bb                               
Smoke it flies from whisky mouths
                    F            
Vagabonds walk this suitcase town
Bb                      
Summer left us beckoning
                              F  
The cottonwoods were all worn out
      Bb                     
Night comes fixing on the day
                         F    
And the universe reigned again
          Dm     C7      Bb                     Gm   
While the wheels roll it all glows a flickering light


[Chorus]
Bb                        C       Gm7              
While you were sleeping I was the turning the dials
                F                 C7    Gm7   Gm Gm7
And I walled up your kingdom with radio wires ■  ■  
Bb                              F  C   C7  Gm7      Gm
And the bells of the choir came in low and rumbling ■ 
                         Bb  
Oh you should have heard them

[Verse]
Bb                                              F   
Living here in this city on fire well I've been fine
             Bb                    
Just dancing drunk above the street
                F       
Me the ghost of Caroline
                    Bb                   
And that was me you know calling up above
                                F   
From the steeples in the church yard
          Dm     C                    F     Gm  
Watch the wheels roll to find another place home


[Chorus]
Gm7   Bb       F            C                Gm
While you were sleeping you bet that I might ■ 
Bb        F     C7       Gm             
Walk this empty northern hemisphere wide
    Bb                       F  C        Gm  
And the kingdom it came well it all fell down
Gm7    Gm      Bb  
It all fell to dust


[Solo]
                     Dm      Bb      C
Watch it all falling down to ■  dust ■
                     Dm      Bb  
Watch it all falling down to dust
