She studies sculpture at St. Martins College
That’s where [G]I caught her eye
[C]She told me that her dad was loaded

She said [G]"fine" and in a thirty seconds time she said

[F]"I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people [C]do
I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like [G]you"
Well what else could I do? I said "I’ll see what I can [C]do"

[C]I took her to a supermarket
I don’t know why but I had to start it some[G]where - so it started there
I said [C]"Pretend you’ve got no money"
She just laughed and said "Oh, you’re so funny"
I said [G]"Yeah, well I can’t see someone else smiling in here

Are your sure[F]you want to live like common people
You want to see whatever common people [C]see
You want to sleep with common people
You want to sleep with common people like [G]me
But she didn’t understand, she just smiled and held my [C]hand

[C]Rent a flat above your shop, cut you hair and get a job
Smoke some [G]fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school
But still you’ll [C]never get it right, cause when you’re laid in bed at night
watching [G]roaches climb the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it all

Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they are laughing at [G]you
And the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor is [C]cool

[C]Like a dog lying in a corner they will bite you and never warn you
look [G]out, they’ll tear you insides out
[C]Cause everybody hates a tourist especially one who thinks that it’s all
Such a [G]laugh and the chip stains and grease will come out in the bath

You will [F]never understand how it feels to live your life
With no [C]meaning or control and with nowhere left to go
You are a[G]mazed that they exist and they burn so bright
Whilst you can only [C]wonder why

[C]Rent a flat above your shop, cut you hair and get a job
Smoke some [G]fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school
But still you’ll [C]never get it right, cause when you’re laid in bed at night

[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D]

It was [Am]just a little while past the [Em]sunset strip
They [C]found the girl’s [G]body in an [D]open pit
Her [Am]mouth was sewn shut, but her [Em]eyes were still wide
[C]Gazing through the [G]fog to the [D]other side

They [Am]booked me on a whim and threw me [Em]deep in jail
With no [C]bail, sitting [G]silent on a [D]rusty pail
Just [Am]gazing at the marks on the [Em]opposite wall
[C]Remembering the [G]music of my [D]lover’s call

[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D]

So you [Am]make no mistake I know just [Em]what it takes
To [C]pull a man’s soul [G]back from [D]heaven’s gates
I’ve been [Am]wandering in the dark about as [Em]long as sin
But they [C]say it’s never [G]too late to [D]start again

Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]spirit come a [G]calling for my [D]soul to send?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]keys to the [G]kingdom be [D]mine again?

[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [twice]

It was [Am]dark as the grave, it was [Em]just about three
When the [C]warden with his [G]key came to [D]set me free
They [Am]gave me five dollars and a [Em]secondhand suit
A [C]pistol and a [G]hat and a [D]worn out flute

So I [Am]took a bus down to the [Em]Rio Grande
And I [C]shot a man [G]down on the [D]edge of town
Then I [Am]stole me a horse and I [Em]rode it around
Til the [C]sheriff pulled me [G]in and he [D]sat me down

He said, [Am]you make no mistake I know just [Em]what it takes
To [C]pull a man’s soul [G]back from [D]heaven’s gates
I’ve been [Am]wandering in the dark about as [Em]long as sin
But [C]they say it’s [G]never too late to [D]start again

Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]spirit come a [G]calling for my [D]soul to send?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]keys to the [G]kingdom be [D]mine again?

[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [twice]

Well the [Am]sheriff let me go with a [Em]knife and a song
So I [C]took the first [G]train up to [D]Oregon
And I [Am]killed the first man that I [Em]came upon
Because the [C]devil works [G]quick, you know it [D]don’t take long

Then I [Am]went to the river ford to [Em]take a swim
You [C]know that black [G]river water is as [D]black as sin
And I [Am]washed myself clean as a [Em]newborn babe
And then I [C]picked up a [G]rock for to [D]sharpen my blade

Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]spirit come a [G]calling for my [D]soul to send?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]keys to the [G]kingdom be [D]mine again?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will that [C]Black River [G]water wash me [D]clean again
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]keys to the [G]kingdom be [D]mine again?

[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [4x and fade]
