 Verse 1:
 F             Bb      F      Bb                           F    
 The neon haze of city lights,The tribal sound of marching feet,
 C                Bb                 F      
 Cuts through the gloom on cold dark nights,
 C             Bb                F       
 The tired and homeless roam the streets,
 
 Instrumental:C |Bb |F |F |
 
                 Bb         F     Bb                          F      
 The sirens wail the engines roar,A shadowed man just glances around,
 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,
 C                       Bb              F                           
 If they could move,What would it prove?,To see them all take flight.
 
 Verse 2:
               Bb      F      Bb                           F    
 The neon haze of city lights,The tribal sound of marching feet,
 C                Bb                 F      
 Cuts through the gloom on cold dark nights,
 C             Bb                F       
 The tired and homeless roam the streets,
 
 Instrumental:C |Bb |F |F |
 
                      Bb         F     Bb                   F     
 The walls shout loud with angry words,The people air their views,
  C           Bb                F     C            Bb               F     
 The poor can scream but no-one hears,The concrete jungle sings the blues.
 
 Chorus 2:
                                      Bb             F     
 The window dummies silent stare,Bear witness on the night,
 C                  Bb                   F                           
 If they could move,What it would prove?,To see them all take flight.
