Tabbed by: dodlhuat
Tuning: standard



Bm           G
I'll keep my faith alive
              Em               F#
Cause this is paradise for parasites
Bm        G
I can't believe my eyes
                      Em               F#
Streets full of blank faces and junkie eyes
Bm                G
The streets won't sleep tonight
Em     F#               Bm
A lullaby for the half alive
         G
The city swings and whines
Em                     F#
To the double crime of drugs and hard times
Bm          G               Em          F#
Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away
Bm          G               D          F#
Lion city's sirens sing the night away
A        Bm
The city feels like a cage
G            D
Feels like a powder keg
Bm            G        F#
That's almost set to explode


Bm G Em F# (same chords the whole verse)

Lion city's begun to rot
It's a matter of time until the roaring stops
The scene from the ground up
From the painted walls to the rooftops
Lion city's closed and locked
While the pop of feet crack on sidewalks
The haves and the have-nots
Fade to backdrops of drums and gunshots

Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away
Bm          G               D          F#
Lion city's sirens sing the night away
Bm                     G
There's an overdose on 8th
       Em               F#
And he does the cocaine shake
          Bm          G               D          F#
Cause the lion city's sirens sing the night away

A        Bm
The city seems like it's trapped
G        D                   A
Between it's future and it's past
        Bm         G        D      A
Life or death of a city not coming back
A        Bm
The city feels like a cage
G            D
Feels like a powder keg
Bm            G        F#
And now it's gonna explode

Lion city's sirens sing the night away, night away
Lion city's sirens sing the night away
There's an overdose on 8th
And he's wearing a blue face
Cause lion city's sirens sing the night away
Bm G          D       F#
     Sing the night away
Bm G          D       F#
     Sing the night away
G              F#
And I won't be long
