Standard (EADGBE)

Build a bridge or maybe two

Together held with footsteps she outgrew

 But now she sits alone, everyone's long gone

She dances in a photograph

When it was good to joke and have a laugh

 But that was yesterday, if only today

 Now the walls are crawling faces

 that still breathe

 But before she nods her head what's left but sleep

(Chorus 1)

 She hears a chorus of factory girls

Singin' in the streets

Drinkin' their coca-colas

 After washing your filthy sheets

 Chasin' down the avenue

After a childhood that she never knew

 Choking on woodbine

Cigarettes just kill the time

 Now the walls are crawling faces

 that still breathe

 But before she nods her head what's left but sleep

(Chorus 2)

 She hears a chorus of factory girls

Singin' aoin and all

Empty are their pockets

 But their voices are filled with song

 Come day go day

 Wish in my heart it was Sunday

 Drinking buttermilk all the week

 And whiskey on a Sunday (traditional)

Now the walls are crawling faces

 that still breathe

 But before she nods her head what's left but sleep

(Chorus 1)

(Chorus 2)

 Slayed Richard and his court of Kings

He stole my heart and many other things

 But me I took his crown

Wish he was here to steal it now
