An easier way to play this (and how it was originally played) is with a capo on 2, playing the
open D string which has now become an E for the lowest note. In more recent live footage you
can see that he moves this note up an octave, playing the 9th fret on the G instead.
[Verse 1]
Em D
Your knuckles whiten on the wheel
C
The last thing that your hands will feel
B7
Your final flight can't be delayed
Em D
No land, just sky, it's so serene
C
Your pink fat lips let go a scream
B7
You fry and melt, I love the scene
[Chorus]
G D
Sometimes I fantasise
C
When the streets are cold and lonely
G
And the cars they burn below me
G D
Don't these times fill your eyes?
C
When the streets are cold and lonely
G
And the cars they burn below me
D
Are you all alone?
Em
Is anybody home?
Em D C B7
[Verse 2]
Em D
I'm standing warm against the cold
C
Now that the flames have taken hold
B7
At least you left your life in style
Em D
And for as far as I can see
C
Ten twisted grills grin back at me
B7
Bad money dies, I love the scene
[Chorus]
G D
Sometimes I fantasise
C
When the streets are cold and lonely
G
And the cars they burn below me
G D
Don't these times fill your eyes?
C
When the streets are cold and lonely
G
And the cars they burn below me
D
Are you all alone?
Em
Is anybody home?
[Solo]
Em D C B7 x3
[Chorus]
G D
Sometimes I fantasise
C
When the streets are cold and lonely
G
And the cars they burn below me
G D
Don't these times fill your eyes?
C
When the streets are cold and lonely
G
And the cars they burn below me
D
Are you all alone?
Em
Are you made of stone?
