161

[Intro] Bb  Dm  Cm  D#m

[First Part]

Bb                           Dm
If you wish to walk beside a boy who
                            Cm
Kicks his ball down cobbled lanes
                           D#m
And Mother’s worried sick to why 
he’s

Out this late again
Bb                           
Sister knits a woolly hat for 
Dm
footprints

In the sand
    Eb
So careful where he sleeps
  D#m
A soul of Chapel Street

Bb                              
And if you wish to dance beside a 
   Dm
girl
                                Cm
With playful pigtails in her hair

She writes a dozen letters
D#m
Dreams of when her love returns
Bb                               Dm
And as she whispers softly for a boy

Who’s hit the ground
      Eb
Well darling now he sleeps
  D#m
A soul of Chapel Street

Cm  F                        Bb
  161 Poppies race around my head
                                Gm
I’m running through the rows of red
   Eb  F                        
And 0161 for the souls of Chapel
Eb      Ebm  Bb
 Street

[Second Part]

Bb                                
And if you wish to stand bеside a 
Dm
father
                              Cm
Dressеd in black from head to toe
                         D#m
He whistles lullabies and tells her 
he

Must go
Bb
He says that he’ll be back to make 
the
Dm
Angels in the snow
    Eb
But honey now he sleeps
  D#m
A soul of Chapel Street
Bb                                
And if you wish to stand beside a 
Dm
boy
Who works with hands of soot and 
Cm
coal

He steals the master's muffins
D#m
Bloody knuckles tell the tale
Bb
He says that he’ll be bringing back
    Dm
The riches from the war
    Eb
But sweetie now he sleeps
  D#m
A soul of Chapel Street

[Chorus]

Cm  F                        Bb
  161 Poppies race around my head
                                Gm
I’m running through the rows of red
   Eb  F                        
And 0161 for the souls of Chapel
Eb      Ebm  Bb
 Street

   Cm  F                        
And oh 161 poppies race around my 
Bb
head

Oh no
                                Gm
I’m running through the fields of 
green
   Eb  F                        
And 0161 for the souls of Chapel
Eb      Ebm  Bb
 Street


[Third Part]

Bb                                
And if you wish to walk behind the 
Dm
boys
                              Cm
Who kick their ball down pebbled 
avenues
                  D#m
And honest smiles defy the Monday 
blues
Bb
But still I hear the sound of 
cobbles to
 Dm
Clogs and combat boots
            Eb
So careful where they sleep
    D#m
The souls of Chapel Street
