Intro: G,C,G,C 

VERSE 1: 

  G                       C          D 
When the inspiration is above our station 
  G                            C         D 
Thoughts are melancholy and I let them pass 
    G                                    C       D 
I tend to view this nation through the condensation 
 C      D    G 
Of a dirty glass 

When the singer solemn was a bonnie laddie 
When she brushed his hair with a watered comb 
Then he could have dandered and he could have shown ye 
Seven hills like Rome  


[Refrão]

 C         G         
If misty eyes can witness  
           Am                  D 
Love and affection, love and affection 
  C                        G 
Why does the heart still resist? 
  D 
What the hell is wrong with you? 
        G          C 
I got eyes of misty blue 
 C                               D 
All the things I want to do are all I ever wanted to 


VERSE 2: 

As the laddie grew and he looked around him 
At the thugs and rapists in their stolen suits 
louder beat the rhythm of his bloody heart 
Telling him to shoot 

Chorus 

VERSE 3: 

Thoughtless competition 
Like a home-made prison 
Made him fix his vision 
On a certain fate 
What's the use in winning all the worlds creation 
If you won't create?
