[Verse 1]
F             Bb      F      Bb                           F
The neon haze of city lights,The tribal sound of marching feet,

Cuts through the gloom on cold dark nights,
C             Bb                F
The tired and homeless roam the streets,

C           Bb             F     C             Bb              F
A victim of life`s mindless toil,Lies cold and helpless on the ground.
[Chorus 1]
                                     Bb             F
The window dummies silent stare,Bear witness on the night,

If they could move,What would it prove?,To see them all take flight.
