            G7          F   
This is the City of the Dead
C                   G7      G   G7
■ As we lie side by side in bed ■ 
       F                     
I'd do something else instead
C                G          
■ It is the City of the Dead
G7      G        G7            
When we went out kickin' around
F           C                    
But you got drunk an' fallen down
               G                
An' I wished I could be like you
F             Em             G  G7  
With the Soho River drinking me down
       F               
In the City of the Dead
                 G7         
Fall in love an' fall in bed
          F                
It wasn't anything you said
                 G7           
Except I know we both lie dead
C              G           
Don't you know where to cop
F               C               
That's what New York Johnny said
               G                
You should get to know your town
F           Em   G   
Just like I know mine


[Chorus]
                      G7    F    
While all the windows stare ahead
C                     G                
■ An' the streets are filled with dread
      F                  
Every nation in the world
                   G7               
Slinks through the alley after girls
C       G                     
What we wear is dangerous gear
F                    C          
It'll get you picked on anywhere
              G                    
Though we get beat up we don't care
F           Em            C G  
At least it livens up the ■ air

[Chorus]
C        G                  
But some days we hide inside
F           C                 
All courage gone and paralyzed
           G                   
Sniff that wind of ugly tension
          C              G          F
Today the jerks have got aggression ■
     C                    Em7 Bm7        G
Yeah today the jerks have got aggression ■
            G               
This is the City of the Dead
               G          
It is the City of the Dead
          G               
It is the City of the Dead
          G               
It is the City of the Dead
