[Intro]
| G | C | G | C |
[Verse 1]
G C
Tommy?s from the city lives in a North End terraced house,
G C
near a council estate, he makes windows and doors.
G C
And though his friends are means to ends, oh, how he often thinks of getting
out
G C
like his mother did, near 18 years before.
[Interlude]

Whistling Part
[Verse 2]
G C
The boy?s got a vision of going on a mission to the USA.
G C
He wants to sing and dance and act on those Broadway shows.
G C
If he should speak a word, well, then he?d save it for another day
G C
for a North End kid like him now it?s how it goes.
[Chorus 1]
G** B7** Em
He goes upstairs and takes his medicine,
C** Em** B7***
goes to Heaven in his head and shuts his eyes.
C G
When he sees the sunshine on his face sees the World as a completely different
place
C Em** D**
where he can find himself a lover and add a kid to it?s space.
C G
Where there?s music in the street, the crowd are throwing roses at his feet
C** Em** B7*
and then he pulls away the covers and ready?s for another couple of days in
the real World,
struggling to make ends [Interlude] meet.
[Interlude]
| G | C | G | C |
[Verse 3]
G C
Tommy?s dad?s a marine so to dare or to dream?s rather hard sometimes
G C
and the anger builds from those lethal blows he?s took.
G C
If he?s to go out at night he?ll get caught in a fight in a bar sometimes,
G* C
another North End Kid another shit out of luck.
[Chorus 2]
G** B7** Em
Then he goes home and takes that medicine,
C** Em** B7***
goes to Heaven in his head and shuts his eyes.
C G
When he sees the sunshine on his face sees the World as a completely different
place
C Em** D**
where he can find himself a lover and add a kid to it?s space.
C G
Where there?s music in the street, the crowd are throwing roses at his feet
C** Em** B7*
and then he pulls away the covers and ready?s for another couple of days in
the real World,
struggling to make ends [Interlude] meet.
[Interlude]

[Outro]
C G
When he sees the sunshine on his face sees the World as a completely different
place
C Em** D**
where he can find himself a lover and add a kid to it?s space;
C G
where there?s music in the street, the crowd are throwing roses at his feet
C** Em** B7*
and then he pulls away the covers and ready?s for another couple of days in
the real World,
G*
struggling to make ends meet.
