The Inner City Song

Key:D
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
D Em
The old man sits and wonders just what can he do
A A7 G D
He's lived there in this neighborhood since nineteen-twenty-two
Em
He's forced to leave his home to make way for their plans
A A7 D
And he knows that they dont care or give a damm
D Em
So he takes a stroll down Monto whats left of it today
A A7 G D
Remembering his childhood and the games he used to play
Em
Now all he's got are memories and they are but a few
A A7 D
And it seems the money grabbers want them too
[Chorus]
G A D
And living in a one room slum aint easy
G A D
Raising seven children on the dole
G A D Bm
No place for kids to play while you build your motorway
G A7 D
Is Loughlin house the playground of today
[Verse 2]
D Em
Dublin's inner city is a sorry sight to see
A A7 G D
A mass of filty buildings strife and poverty
Em
The people find it hard to make ends meet most of the time
A A7 D
And you're surprised that they should turn to crime
[Chorus]
G A D
And living in a one room slum aint easy
G A D
Raising seven children on the dole
G A D Bm
No place for kids to play while you build your motorway
G A7 D
Is Loughlin house the playground of today
[Verse 3]
D Em
The greedy speculators are waiting to move in
A A7 G D
With their lawyers and their legal talk the chances are they'll win
Em
They make their public speeches and give the people some old line
A A7 D
But you know we wont be fooled so easily this time
[Chorus]
G A D
And living in a one room slum aint easy
G A D
Raising seven children on the dole
G A D Bm
No place for kids to play while you build your motorway
G A7 D
Is Loughlin house the playground of today
