Road To Birmingham

    A              Bm             
His feet lay heavy on the road 
  D                A
that led to Birmingham
  A      G#m     F#m    E        
Unseeing eyes, defeated cries, 
  G            A
the mysteries of men
    A               Bm            
The many hears, the helpless tears
      D                 A
 that left the troubled brow
  A        G#m  F#m             
A man once tall, he fought them 
E        G           A
all, but he is older now

[Verse 2]
    A                  Bm      
For in your youth, you think the 
             D              A
truth will always win the game
     A       G#m         F#m     
Some men are kings, some men are 
E           D                     A
rooks, some men are pawns to blame
    A               Bm            
But if your skin is coloured 
           D                 A
black, well the dice are hidden in
    A        G#m       F#m       
The minds of fools who twist the 
E         G             A
rules, so you can never win


[Chorus]
A           C#m         F#m  E 
Birmingham, Birmingham, 
         D
underneath your face

        F#m     E     D
There's nothing but a space, you're 
hollow

[Verse 3]
  A            Bm           D    
Unlighted sky, begins to cry, the
                A
 shabby coat is weak
    A          G#m     F#m        
And homes with windows dressed in 
E           D                      A
warmth, and mouths that never speak
    A                 Bm          
His mind is dead, his visions 
        D               A
spread that pass before his feet
    A      G#m    F#m        E  
And thankfully he wears that 
        G                    A
dream that shields him from the 
     D D A
street


[Verse 4]
    A              Bm          
Goodnight my friend, this is the 
     D                   A
end, you'll never cry again
       A     G#m     F#m    E   
You'll never have to smile away 
    G                    A
the bastards and the pain
   A               Bm              
Is it too late, or can you wait to 
D            A
take another turn
    A      G#m    F#m       E   
And walk together down that road
      G               A
 that leads to Birmingham


[Chorus]
A           C#m         F#m  E 
Birmingham, Birmingham, 
         D
underneath your face
        F#m     E     D
There's nothing but a space, inside 
you


[Instrumental]
A D D A


[Chorus]
A           C#m         F#m  E 
Birmingham, Birmingham, 
         D
underneath your face
        F#m     E     D
There's nothing but a space
