[ch]Cm[/ch]     [ch]Cm/Bb[/ch]    [ch]Cm/G[/ch]     [ch]F[/ch]     [ch]Bb[/ch]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab]     [ch]Cm[/ch]             [ch]Cm/Bb[/ch]           [ch]F[/ch]\r\nAnd at the end they asked him if he thought it quite the thing,[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]Cm[/ch]             [ch]Cm/Bb[/ch]           [ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nFor bankers to pen ballads, or for city men to sing,[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]Cm[/ch]            [ch]Cm/Bb[/ch]         [ch]F[/ch]\r\nFor city men have rules and regulations to obey,[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]Bb[/ch]                            [ch]Eb[/ch]\r\nTheir coats of many colours are predominantly grey.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]        [ch]Cm[/ch]                                [ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nBut, because his day was ending, he could give a straight reply,[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]Gb[/ch]                                   [ch]Db[/ch]                  [ch]F[/ch]\r\nSo he said he thought that city men should learn to laugh and cry,[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]Gm[/ch]                                       [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd let the light that shines their night illuminate the day,[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]F[/ch]                                 [ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nAnd since he could not sing for them, surely he could pray.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab]   [ch]Eb[/ch]                [ch]G[/ch]             [ch]Cm[/ch]    [ch]Cm/Bb[/ch]\r\nSo Lord you'd better send the city sunshine,[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]F[/ch]                             [ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nSo that city men can see the light of day,[/tab]\r\n[tab]           [ch]Eb[/ch]                [ch]G[/ch]\r\nThough the neon signs still shimmer,[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]Cm[/ch]               [ch]Abm[/ch]       [ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nYet somehow it seems dimmer today.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab]    [ch]Cm[/ch]            [ch]Cm/Bb[/ch]              [ch]F[/ch]\r\nBut when the city heard him sing its children weren’t impressed.[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]Cm[/ch]            [ch]Cm/Bb[/ch]            [ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nThey said our aged colleague now is surely past his best,[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]Cm[/ch]            [ch]Cm/Bb[/ch]          [ch]F[/ch]\r\nFor in city days and city ways it’s known we should hold dear,[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]Bb[/ch]                                     [ch]Eb[/ch]\r\nNot those we choose, but those we use, and those that buy us beer.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]   [ch]Cm[/ch]                              [ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nTo work we give each day we live until the day we die,[/tab]\r\n[tab]         [ch]Gb[/ch]                                 [ch]Db[/ch]            [ch]F[/ch]\r\nAnd only madmen think of laughter, and only weak men ever cry.[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]Gm[/ch]                                    [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd the young must prove how unlike him their fires have not gone cold,[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]F[/ch]                         [ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nBy steadily becoming far more pompous than the old.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab]   [ch]Eb[/ch]                [ch]G[/ch]             [ch]Cm[/ch]    [ch]Cm/Bb[/ch]\r\nSo

   [ch]Eb[/ch]               [ch]G[/ch]\r\nThough the market's looking flatter,[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]Cm[/ch]              [ch]Abm[/ch]       [ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nIt doesn’t seem to matter today.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab]        [ch]Cm[/ch]                                   [ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nBut his prayer for them was not yet done for then they heard him say,[/tab]\r\n[tab]         [ch]Gb[/ch]                             [ch]C[/ch]                   [ch]F[/ch]\r\nMay they tread a little gentle on their journey through the day,[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]Gm[/ch]                                   [ch]Cm[/ch]\r\nAnd learn that when their men so full of life begin to die,[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]F[/ch]                                    [ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nIt starts when men of laughter lose the twinkle from their eye.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[tab]   [ch]Eb[/ch]                [ch]G[/ch]             [ch]Cm[/ch]    [ch]Cm/Bb[/ch]\r\nSo Lord you'd better send the city sunshine,[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]F[/ch]                                [ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nSo that city men might see to find their way.[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]Cm[/ch]             [ch]G[/ch]\r\nIn the city bells are ringing,[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]Cm[/ch]            [ch]Abm[/ch]        [ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nThen why is no one singing today.[/tab]","plain_text":"Intro: Cm     Cm/Bb    Cm/G     F
