 Bb                                                                    F 
Smoke it flies from whisky mouths   /   vagabonds walk this suitcase town 
 Bb                                                            F 
summer left us beckoning   /   the cottonwoods were all worn out 
 Bb                                                             F 
night comes fixing on the day   /   and the universe reigned again 
            Dm     F             Bb         Dm 
while the wheels roll, to find a flickering light 

 Bb              F                C           Gm 
While you were sleeping i was the turning the dials 
          Bb          F                   C     Gm 
and i walled up your kingdom with radio wires 
           Bb          F          C      Gm 
and the bells of the choir came in low and rumbling 
                           Bb 
..aw, you should-a heard them... 

Instrumental:  Bb  - F (x2) 

   Bb                                             F 
Living here in this city on fire, well i’ve been fine 
       Bb                                                      F 
just dancing drunk above the street   /   me the ghost of caroline 
      Bb                                                         
and that was me, ya know, calling up above   /    
                                 F 
from the steeples in the church yard 
             Dm    F           Bb           Gm 
watch the wheels roll to find another place home 

 Bb             F            C                 Gm 
While you were sleeping, you bet that i might 
 Bb        F      C      Gm 
walk this empty northern hemisphere wide 
         Bb         F            C        Gm 
and the kingdom it came, well it all fell down 
                Bb   
it all fell to dust   /   and it all fell... 

Dm  Bb  C  C (x6) 

 Bb              F                C           Gm 
While you were sleeping i was the turning the dials 
 Bb        F     C      Gm                Bb 
walk this empty northern hemisphere wide...
