B I'm going back to a time when we owned this town E Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds C#m B G#m F# We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns I didn't know I was finding out how I'd be torn from you When we talked about things we were gonna do We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too Chorus: E B Go down to the rides on East Parade, G#m F# By the lights of the Palace Arcade E G#m F# And watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café I'm begging you for some sign But you've still got nothing to say Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away I'm a better man now than I was that day Chorus: Let's go down to the rides on East Parade By the lights of the Palace Arcade Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier Watch the drunks and the lovers appear To take turns, as the stars of the Sovereign Light Café E B F# I wheel my bike off the train, F# Up the North Trade Road, E B F# And look for you on Marley Lane G#m In every building, every streetsign E F# G#m B F# Oh why did we ever go so far from home? Well you've got nothing to hide You can't change who you really are You can get a big house and a faster car You can run away boy, but you won't go far Chorus: Let's go down to the rides on East Parade By the lights of the Palace Arcade Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier Watch the drunks and the lovers appear To take turns, as the stars of the Sovereign Light Café Sha La la la la la Yeah Yeah I'm going where the people know my name You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC#m E F# G#m B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
