Bmaj7sus2
VERSE 1
He
E7b5/G#
sits in the light of the
Bmaj7sus2
carousel
With his
E7b5/G#
children running ’round his
Bmaj7sus2
knees
While the
E7b5/G#
wind howls down through the
Bmaj7sus2
fishing boat mast
The lights
Ebmaj7
sway and the
Bb
barkers
A7/G
freeze
Well, his
E7b5/G#
clothes are ragged and his
Bmaj7sus2
smile is bright
And the
E7b5/G#
world he’s in is only
Bmaj7sus2
his
So let no
E7b5/G#
fool come up and look at
Bmaj7sus2
him and say
“
Ebmaj7
How’d you get to
Bb
be like
A7/G
this?
Not even
Ebmaj7
thirty yet and
Bb
you’re like
A7/G
this!”
CHORUS 1
Bb
North
At
Am7b5
lantic
Gm
wind
Will
Bb
warp our
Am7b5
resting
Gm
veins
It will dis
F
solve you
F7
final

And
F7
naked you’ll
Cm
die
F7
Under the black
Cm
sky
F7
Lost and a

Bb7/G#
Bsus2
VERSE 2
In the
Bb7/G#
all-night party at the
Bsus2
chemical
plant
Bb7/G#
Everybody’s feeling
Bsus2
grand
The
Bb7/G#
Irish peasants haven’t had
Bsus2
this much fun
Since their
Ebmaj7
ancestors
Bb
fled the
A7/G
land
A
Bb7/G#
man with a hammer smashes
Bsus2
down a wall
And
Bb7/G#
everybody shouts “Hoo
Bsus2
ray!”
And the
Bb7/G#
virgins get taken in the
Bsus2
shower
stalls
Where the
Ebmaj7
cyanide comes
Bb
up the
A7/G
drains
Don’t call an
Ebmaj7
ambulance if
Bb
you can’t
A7/G
pay
CHORUS 2
Bb
North
At
Am7b5
lantic
Gm
wind
Will
Bb
warp our
Am7b5
resting
Gm
veins
It’ll
F
put you back
F7
down in your
Bb
place
Bb-5
And take that
F
arrogant
F7
look off your
Bb
face
Bb-5
CHORUS 3
Bb

At

Will
Bb
cut through

bone and

brain
Oh, be
F
glad that you can
F7
still feel
Bb
pain
Because
F7
naked you’ll di

F7
Under the black

sky
F7
Lost and alone
