[Intro] A  G  A  C 

 A                                  
 Old man lying by the side of the road
          Am7               
 With the lorries rolling by
 D                                           
 Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
         F                   Em7 
 And the buildings scrape the sky       
   A                                       
 Cold wind rippling down the alley at dawn
          Am7
 And the morning paper fly
  D      
 Dead man lying at the side of the road
            F               Em7
 And the daylight in his eyes

[Chorus]

Em7              D7            
   Don't let it bring you down
                   C      
 It's only castles burning
                      Bm7    
 Find someone who's turning
                    A
 And you will come around

( A  G  A  C )

  A           
 Blind man running through the light of the night
          Am7
 With an answer in his hand
 D      
 Come on down to the river of sight and
           F            Em7
 You can really understand
   A                                               
 Red light flashin' through the window in the rain
           Am7
 Can you hear the sirens moan?
 D
 White cane lying in the gutter in the lane 
              F             Em7
 And you're walking home alone
     
( A  G  A  C )

  A                                             
 Don't let it bring you down
                     D            
 It's only castles burning just
                    Bm7    
 Find someone who's turning 
                    A    
 And you will come around

( A  G  A  C )

 A                          
 Don't let it bring you down
                   D            
 It's only castles burning  just
                    Bm7    
 Find someone who's turning
   
                    A    
 And you will come around

( A  G  A  C )
