I was [G] picked up by the [A] coppers and [D] kicked in the [A] balls.
Between the [G] metal doors at [A] Vine Street I was [D] beaten and [A] mauled
And they [D] ruined my [G] good looks for the [A] old main [D] drag.
In the [D] tube station the [G] old ones who were [A] on the way [D] out

And I [D] wished I could es[G]cape from the [A] old main [D] drag.
And [D] now I am [G] lying here I have [A] had too much [D] booze.
I've been [G] spat on and [A] shat on and [D] raped and a[A]bused.

I [Am] come old friend from hell
..tonight across the rotting sea.
Nor the [Am] nails of the cross
..nor the blood of Christ
Can bring you help this eve.
The [Dm] dead have come to claim a
..debt from [Am] thee.
They [Dm] stand outside your door
..four score and [Am] three. [G]
Did you [C] keep a watch for the
..[F] dead man's wind,
Did you [C] see the woman with
..the [G] comb in her hand,
[C] Wailing away on the [F] wall
..on the strand
As you [C] danced to the Turkish
..[G] song of the damned.
LAm LAm REm
You re[Am]member when the ship
..went down, you left me on the
..deck.
The [Am] captain's corpse jumped
..up and threw his arms around my
..neck.
For [Dm] all these years I've had
..him on my [Am] back.
This [Dm] debt cannot be paid with
..all your [Am] jack. [G]
Chorus Twice
LAm LAm REm
Repeat Intro Riff
And [Am] as I sit and talk to you
..I see your face go white.
This [Am] shadow hanging over me
..is no trick of the light.
The [Dm] spectre on my back will
..soon be [Am] free.
The [Dm] dead have come to claim a
..debt from [Am] thee. [G]

As [C] I walked [F] down by the
..[C] river[F]side
One [C] evening [F] in the [C]
..spring, [C]
Heard a [C] long gone [F] song
..from [C] days gone [F] by
Blown [C] in on the [F] great
..North [C] wind. [C]
Though there [F] is no lonesome
..[C] corncrake's cry
Of [Am] sorrow and de[F]light,
You can [C] hear the [F] cars and
..the [C] shouts from [F] bars
And the [C] laughter [F] and the
..[C] fights. [C]
May the [F] ghosts that howled
..round the [C] house at night
Never [Am] keep you from your [F]
..sleep.
May they [C] all sleep [F] tight
..down in [C] hell to[F]night
Or [C] wherever [F] they may [C]
..be. [C]

As [C] I walked [F] on with a [C]

Then a [C] stone danced [F] on the

And the [C] song went [F] on
..though the [C] lights were [F]
..gone
And the [C] North wind [F] gently
..[C] sighed, [C]
And an [F] evening breeze coming
..[C] from the East
That [Am] kissed the river[F]side.
So I [C] pray now [F] child that
..you [C] sleep to[F]night
When you [C] hear this [F]
..lulla[C]by. [C]
May the [F] wind that blows from
..[C] haunted graves
Never [Am] bring you miser[F]y.
May the [C] angels [F] bright
..watch [C] you to[F]night
And [C] keep you [F] while you [C]
