tune Transposed: semitones

[A]The towers of [D]London, these crumbling rocks
[A]Reality estates that [D]the hero's got
[F#m]And every hour's marked by [Bm]the chime of a clock
[G]And whatcha gonna do [A]when the darkness surrounds?
[D]You can piss in the [A]lifts which have broken down
[D]You can watch from the [F#m]debris the last bedroom light
[Bm]We're invisible here [G]just past midnight
[A]And the wives hate their [D]husbands and their husbands don't care
[A]Their children daub slogans [D]to prove they lived there
[F#m]A giant pipe organ [Bm]up in the air
[G]You can't live in a home [A]which should not have been built
[D]By the bourgeoisie clerks [A]who bear no guilt
[D]When the wind hits this [F#m]building this building it tilts
[Bm]One day it will [G]surely fall to the ground
[A]Fear is just [D]another commodity here
[A]They sell us peeping holes [D]to peek when we hear
[F#m]A bang on [Bm]the door resoundingly clear
[G]Who would really want [A]to move in here?
[D]The children play faraway, [A]the corridors are bare
[D]This room is a [F#m]cage it's like captivity
[Bm]How can anyone [G]exist in such misery?
[A]It has been [D]said not only here
[A]Allianza dollars [D]are spent
[F#m]To raise [Bm]the towering buildings
[G]For the weary [A]bones of the workers
[D]To go back [A]in the morning
[D]It has been [F#m]said not only here
[Bm]Allianza dollars [G]are spent
[A]To raise [D]the towering buildings
[A]For the weary [D]bones of the workers
[F#m]To be strong [Bm]in the morning
[G]To go back [A]in the disappearing
[D]It has been said [A]till there is no buildings
[D]Allianza dollars [F#m]are spent
[Bm]To raise [G]the towering buildings
[A]For the weary [D]bones of the workers
[A]To be strong [D]in the morning
