 D G In the big city where the lights are low D G Cold dirty ground where the rivers don't flow D G A Nothing's gonna change, so throw it all away In the big city where the kids will come cheap Monsters prowl and never sleep Don't cross the road if you haven't got the time of day Chorus: G Well, I lost my girl waiting for D the train from Ride C G I know she's out there somewhere C G A Selling all we got, but I don't mind In the big city you can walk a thin line And your mother won't know that you do a bit of crime Your father's on the dole and he really hasn't got the time In the big city where it's hard to see the sky Black earth trembles when the trains go by Bums on the corner tell you gently to fuck off and die Chorus: Well, I lost my girl and I missed my train to Ride And I'm stuck here selling papers And spitting on the ground when you walk by In the big city, you can dance all night Only if you're clean and the lads are not uptight Or you may as well forget it, wait until the broad daylight In the big city where the suits don't look you in the eye Learn how to laugh, you'll be planning when to die And don't expect any favours from the cars passing by Chorus: I lost my girl waiting for the train from Ride Well I don't mind matching colours or parking people's cars And telling little lies, if that's alright In the big city In the big city In the big city In the big city In the big city In the big city | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  C  D  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
