(intro) Bb B* C E* Am G F G C G
C E* Am G
I walked down by the river where we used to go
F G C G
And underneath the bridge where we first kissed
C E* Am
The old town that we knew is dead and gone
G
Gone
F G C G
The sickly sun shines grayly through the mist
Bb
And like the love we used to know
B*
The poisoned river waters flow
C E* Am G
And then they're gone
F G C G
For some of us still life moves on
C E* Am G
Our love is just a relic of the past
F G C G
You'd never recognise the old town now
C E* Am G
Somewhere behind the concrete and the glass
F G C G
The monuments of England's sacred cow
Bb
Where are all the human beings?
B*
Have they been sent to Milton Keynes?
C E* Am G
They used to live round here but now they're gone
F G C G
For some of us still life moves on
Bb B* C E* Am G
F G C
For some of us still life moves on
