The Days Of Pearly Spencer(Chords)

	        The Avengers - The Days Of Pearly Spencer 

Cm 

verse 1 
  Cm 
A tenement, a dirty street 
Bb 
Walked and worn by shoeless feet 
  Cm 
Inside it's long and so complete 
Eb                     Bb 
Watched by a shivering sun 
Cm 
Old eyes in a small child's face 
Bb 
Watching as the shadows race 
        Cm 
Through walls and cracks that leave no trace 
    Eb                    Bb 
And daylight's brightness shun. 

Chorus 
Fm   Gm                       Cm 
           The days of Pearly Spencer 
    Fm  Gm                     Cm  
Ahh Ahh Ahh The race is almost run 

verse 2 
Cm 
Nose pressed hard on frosted glass 
Bb 
Gazing at the swollen mass 
   Cm 
On concrete fields where grows no grass 
Eb               Bb 
Stumbles blindly on 
Cm 
Iron trees smother the air 
    Bb 
But withering, they stand and stare 
        Cm 
Through eyes that neither know nor care 
Eb                  Bb 
Where the grass has gone 

Chorus 
Fm   Gm                       Cm 
           The days of Pearly Spencer 
    Fm  Gm                     Cm  
Ahh Ahh Ahh The race is almost run 
C#m 

verse 3 
C#m 
Pearly where's your milk white skin 
B 
What's that stubble on your chin 
     C#m 
It's buried in the rot gut gin 
    E                   B 
You played and lost not won 
    C#m 
You played a house that can't be beat 
    B 
Now look your head's bowed in defeat 
    C#m 
You walked too far along the street 
      E             B 
Where only rats can run 

Chorus (4x) 
F#m   G#m                       C#m 
             The days of Pearly Spencer 
    F#m G#m                    C#m  
Ahh Ahh Ahh The race is almost run
