  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
