This is a nice little number I enjoy playing from time to time - tho my Scottish accent when singing is a bit of a joke...
Nice easy chords to jam to
These Streets – Paolo Nutini
D F#m G A
Cross the border, into the big bad world
D F#m
Where it takes you about an hour just to cross the road
G A
Just to stumble across another poor old soul
D F#m
From the dreary old lanes to the High Street madness
G A
I fight with my brain to believe my eyes
D F#m
And it's harder than you think to believe this sadness
G A
It creeps up my spine and haunts me through the night
Bm7
Life is good and the girls are gorgeous
G
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
Bm7
And I'm wondering around with a half pack of cigarettes
A
Searching for the change I've lost somehow
D F#m
These Streets have too many names for me
G A
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
D F#m G A
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
D F#m G A
Where'd the days go when all we did was play
D F#m
And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all
G A
Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall
D F#m
From walking by a high rise to a landmark square
G A
You see millions of people with millions of cares
D F#m
And I struggle to the train to make my way home
G A
I look at these people as they sit there alone
Bm7
Life is good and the sun is shining
G
Everybody floats to their ideal place
Bm7
And the children all smile as the boats shuffle by them
A
Trying to pretend that they've got some space
D F#m
These Streets have too many names for me
G A
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
D F#m G A
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
D F#m
These Streets have too many names for me
G A
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
D F#m G A
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
Bm7
Life is good and the girls are gorgeous
G
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
Bm7
And I'm wondering around with a half pack of cigarettes
A
Searching for the change I've lost somehow
D F#m
These Streets have too many names for me
G A
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
D F#m G A
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
D F#m
These Streets have too many names for me
G A
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
D F#m G A
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know
D
You keep telling me so
