Barclay James Harvest - Death Of A City
Track #6, Turn of the Tide

I [D]look down the street but there's [C]no one there
In the [G]cold, in the dark, in the [D]night air
I [D]call out for life but my [C]heart feels despair
There's no [C]sign of a light in the [D]cold dismal night

The [D]lights have all gone the [G]clothes are all torn
The [G]people are gone but the [D]victory's won
I [D]call out for life but it's [C]after the day
Now the [G]people are gone just the [D]city alone

[D]Eyes [D]look from the second [C]floor
[C]Down to the street be[G]low
[G]Calm now the wind is [D]slow [C]
[D]See [D]posters once on the [C]wall
[C]Now washed away in the [G]rain
[G]Peeling from buildings [D]tall [C]

I'll [D]follow you friends to where [C]life never ends
Make our [G]mistakes again as our [D]life lines descend
[D]Time is like dust and the [C]dust is like snow
As it [G]covers the ruins of the [G]life that you know

[D]Trees [D]once green now turned to [C]stone
[C]Objects that look like [G]ghosts
[G]All of them over[D]grown [c]
[D]Mist [D]all sight and mind is [C]blurred
[C]Lie on your back and [G]cry
[G]Words uttered never [D]heard [C]

I [D]look down the street but there's [C]no one there
In the [G]cold, in the dark, in the [D]night air
I [D]call out for life but my [C]heart feels despair
There's no [C]sign of a light in the [D]cold dismal night

The [D]lights have all gone the [G]clothes are all torn
The [G]people are gone but the [D]victory's won
I [D]call out for life but it's [C]after the day
Now the [G]people are gone just the [D]city alone
