LYRICS:

So you got the blues

The evening wore out your shoes

To a shuffling beat

It's a colourful crowd

Spray can information

Cover the lonely station

Checkpoint for the state of the nation

So you got the blues

The evening wore out your shoes

        Dm (xx0231@1)         Am (x02210@1)    F (133211@1)COn (x32010@1)the missionbeat beat

     Dm (xx0231@1)  Am (x02210@1)   F (133211@1)    Break this heart

     C (x32010@1)    Wrap it up


So you got the blues

The evening wore out your shoes

In the back of the cell

The plug and the cord

Shoulder dislocation

Bruised in isolation
