    C
    I would love to be the lucky one on Chill Avenue
  • Am
    Who could keep your hear warm when ice has turned it blue
    G
  • But with the beggin' sleeping losers as they turn in for the night
    C
    I'm looking back for home and I can see the lights
  •  
    C
    I should be jumpin' shoutin' that I made it all this way
  • Am
    From Camden Town Station to 44th and 8th
    G
  • Not many make it this far and many say we're great
    C
    But just like them we walk on an' we can't escape our fate
  •  
    Am F G
    Can't you hear the sighing
  • C F
    Eastside Jimmy and Southside Sue
    G Csus C
  • Both say they needed something new
     
    CHORUS
  • C
    So I'm standing at the gates of the West
    Em
  • I burn money at the lights of the sign
    F G C
    The city casts a shadow of the perfect crime
  •  
    I'm standing at the gates of the East
    Em
  • I take my pulse and the pulse of my friend
    F G C
    The city casts a shadow, will I see you again?
  •  
     
    The immigrants an' remnants of all the glory years
  • Are clustered around the bar again for another round of beers
    Little Richard's in the kitchen playing spoons and plates
    He's telling the waitress he's great
  •  
    Ah say I know somewhere back'n'forth in time
    Out on the dustbowls, deep in the roulette mine
  • Or in a ghetto cellar only yesterday
    There's a move into the future for the U.S.A.
     
  • I hear them crying
    Eastside Jimmy and Southside Sue
    Both say they needed something new
  •  
    CHORUS
     
  • C Em Em Am Am F F
    C Em Em Am Am F F
    C Em Em Am Am F F C
  •  
    (with chords from chorus)
    Standing at the gates of the West
  • In the shadow again
    Standing at the gates of the West
    In the shadow again
  • In the shadow again
