These Streets Tab

by Paolo Nutini


Paolo Nutini's excelent song! 

Kind of finished the job on that other one. Lazy work on that chord!

Try using a capo on some of the first frets! ;D



[]            [] []       [] 
Cross the border, into the big bad world
[]                                      []
Where it takes you about an hour just to cross the road,
        []                    [] 
Just to stumble across another poor old sole,
[]                              ]
From the dreary old lanes to the High St madness,
[]                        []
I fight with my brain to believe my eyes
    []                           []
And it's harder than you think to believe this sadness, 
   []                              []
It creeps up my spine and haunts me through the night

[] 
Life is good, and the girls are gorgeous,
[] 
Suddenly the air smells much greener now
[] 
And I'm walking around with a half pack of cigarettes
[] 
Searching for the change I've lost somehow

[]                 []    
These Streets, have too many names for me
[]                                     [] 
I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy
[]                   []        []     []
I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know

[]         []   []                 []
Where'd the days go when all we did was lay
[]                                      []
And the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all,
[]                          []
Just a run and a jump into a harmless fall
[]                              []
From walking by a high-rise to a landmark square,
        []                     []
You see millions of people with millions of cares
[]                                []
And I stuggle to the train to make my way home
[]                          []
I look at the people as they sit there alone

[] 
Life is good and the sun is shining,
[]
Everybody floats to their ideal place
[] 
And the children all smile as the boats shuffle by them,
[]
Trying to pretend that they've got some space.
