6 -6 -6 -6 -6 7 7  -7 -6
a tenement a dirty street
  6     6    6  6  -7  -7    -6
walked and worn by shoeless feet
 6 -6  -6  -6   -6   7  7 -7 -6
inside its long and so complete
   6     6 6  5 -4  4  -4
watched by a shivering sun
 -6 -6   -6-6   7     7     -7-6
old eyes in a small childs face
 6   6    6  5   -6 -6   -5
watching as the shadows race
  5     -5    -5  -5     -5    6    6   -6
through walls and cracks and leave no trace
 -5  5   5      4   3     -3
and daylights brightness shuns

chorus:
 6    7  -7 -6 6    -6  5
the days of pearly spencer
 6   7   -7  -6 6  -6
the race is almost run

nose pressed hard on frosted glass
gazing as the swollen mass
on concrete fields where grows no grass
stumbles blindly on
iron trees smother the air
but withering they stand and stare
through eyes that neither know nor care
where the grass is gone

repeat chorus

pearly where`s your milk white skin
whats that stubble on your chin
it`s buried in the rot gut gin
you played and lost not won
you played a house that can`t be beat
now look your heads bowed in defeat
you walked too far along the street
where only rats can run

chorus
