G                                
You’re looking and listening and

hoping that things are changing 
      Em     E D
for the better
G                 F              
You’re trying to see if what

 blues to you now brother

[Verse 1]
G F         Em             E D
I just left Victoria Gardens
G   F              Em           
And walked through cardboard 
     E D
city land
G F        Em             E D
A burnt out star was asking
G   F               Em           
How would I like to shake his 
 E D
hand
C E                Am   G
I walked on in no hurry
D
And wondered where did we go wrong?

G                     F          
Looking listening and hoping that
                             Em    
 things are changing for the better
 E D

G             F                  
Don’t want to preach or teach the
                  Em     E D
 blues to you now brother

[Verse 2]
G      F           Em        E D
It’s a bloody fine situation
G       F              Em  E D
That we find ourselves in
G       F         Em             
He said something I couldn’t 
  E D
mention here
G      F                  Em  E D
And we laughed with him again

[Verse]
G   F         Em           E D
And now it is early evening
G F           Em                 
I look across grey Leicester 
  E D
Square
G F         Em            
A large and silent crowd were 
           E D
walking
G    F              Em          
Said they had every right to be 
     E D
there

G    F              Em          
Said they had every right to be 
     E D
there x 5 to fade
