Gm         Em            B             Dm  C
Piccadilly Circus in the dead of night
Gm           Em               B        Dm  C
Just passing time beneath the lights
Em      C            Em 
  Up in town and all alone
       C                     Dm  
Got no business so minds his own

Gm        Em                 B         Dm  C
The hotel room is lonely and cold
Gm          Em            B            Dm  C
He might as well go for a stroll
Em     C                  Em
  Idly looking in a hi-fi shop
             C                     Dm
Footsteps, a chuckle, and one hard slap

         Gm          Dm       C
And they didn't even see his  face
See him  flinch or   hear him groan
They     didn't even see his  eyes
    C                Dm 
One mean blow and on they ran

Gm           Em             B             Dm  C
He put his   fingers to his side
And felt his flesh was open wide
Em            C                 Em 
  He felt the rent the blow had made
Em                  C               Dm
  For the hand that fell had held a blade


         Gm          Dm       C
And they didn't even see his face
See him  stumble, hear his   cry
They     didn't even see his eyes
C                  Dm 
Just lashed out in passing by

B                   Gm
  What can it       mean?
B                   Am
  Who can make some sense of that?
B               Am
  Did it mean a thing to them?
Gm              Am
What can make a mind like that?

Gm           Em                  B        Dm  C
Those forty  stitches helped him over
Who can live life over his       shoulder?
Em            C             Em
  He tried to put it in his past
              C               Dm
And flew safe home back to Belfast


         Gm          Dm        C
And they didn't even see his   face
See him  stagger,    watch him fall
They     didn't even see his   eyes
     C                 Dm
They never knew him at all
