Capo 1
Mim Do Lam Mim
Mim
Evening
Do
When the sun begins to sink
Lam
Behind the smoke
Mim
There’s a burning red glow all around
Mim
Watching
Do
As the colour starts to fade
Lam
And the darkness
Seems to rise out of the ground
Mim
Of the ground, out of the ground, of the ground...
Mim
Walls rise and fall
Sim
And now they're building tall
Re
In the city
Lam
Brick England
Mim
They build them up
Sim
And then they knock ’em down
Re
To put up another
Lam
Brick England.
Mim Do Lam Mim
Mim
Evening
Do
Creeps beyond the terrace walls
Lam
Up the church steeples
Mim
And the chimney-pots so high, pots so high, pots so high...
Mim
Watching
Do
The moon is lost behind black clouds
Lam
And the darkness
Mim
Seems to crawl up to the sky, to the sky, up to the sky...
Mim
Walls rise and fall
Sim
And now they're building tall
Re
In the city
Lam
Brick England
Mim
They build them up
Sim
And then they knock ’em down
Re
To put up another
Lam
Brick England.
Mim Re Lam Si
Mim
They build them up
Sim
And then they knock ’em down
Re
To put up another
Lam
Brick England.
Mim
Brick Lane in the rain
Sim
Road closed - diversion
Re
A snake of tourists
Lam
Meandering under grey clouds
Mim
In Brick England.
