Golden Down

Dm  Bb  Dm  Bb  Dm  Bb  Dm  Bb

[Verse 1]
Dm                Bb
Out in the filth and the restless mud
Dm                     Bb
Where hungry strangers are bound
Dm            Bb
Down the road in the flesh and blood
Cm        Eb                 F
A certain gentleness can be found
Dm                Bb
Through the hours of the naked evening
Dm                  Bb
While the faceless disappear
Dm               Bb
She will surely have you believing
Cm               Eb            F  Fsus4 F
As she whispers softly in your ear

[Chorus]
Bb           Eb
Golden Down Golden Down
Bb                   Eb     F
Put a smile on this lonely town
Bb            Eb
Golden Light Golden Bright
Bb                         F       Fsus4 F
Won't you hold me in your arms tonight

[Verse 2]
Dm              Bb
On the pavement in a silver dress
Dm                   Bb
What fine ladies might call a gown
Dm                   Bb
Another night another sweet caress
Cm                Eb            F
The lace of your empire coming down
Dm             Bb
Steet princess on a throne of cream
Dm             Bb
High priestess of the multitude
Dm            Bb
Fallen angel in a madmans dream
Cm           Eb         F  Fsus4 F
Look how he hovers over you

[Chorus]
Bb           Eb
Golden Down Golden Down
Bb                   Eb     F
Put a smile on this lonely town
Bb            Eb
Golden Light Golden Bright
Bb                         F       Fsus4 F
Won't you hold me in your arms tonight

[Bridge 1]
Eb                 Bb
The men will come from miles around
Eb                 Bb
Country temples and the factories
Gm                              Cm
The pretty rich boys from their suites uptown
Eb                                 F
All would have you gladly on your knees

[Verse 3]
Dm              Bb
Some will snear as they pass you by
Dm                Bb
Laugh and snicker at the rags you wear
Dm              Bb
Curse the very ground you magnify
Cm                    Eb                  F  Fsus4 F
Some would run their fingers through your hair

[Chorus]
Bb           Eb
Golden Down Golden Down
Bb                   Eb     F
Put a smile on this lonely town
Bb            Eb
Golden Light Golden Bright
Bb                         F       Fsus4 F
Won't you hold me in your arms tonight

[Bridge]
Cm           Eb        Bb  Eb  Bb
Tears don't fall they teem
Cm           Eb       Bb   Eb  Bb
Dream sweet princess dream

[Verse 4]
Dm              Bb
The hours late smoke is heavy
Dm               Bb
A drunken sailor is coming to
Dm                     Bb
The whiskeys straight the spirits ready
Cm                 Eb                F
The boys in the backroom are calling you
Dm                    Bb
But the night is long your bones are weary
Dm                Bb
You need a drink someplace to lie
Dm                  Bb
The earth may turn but while your near me
Cm           Eb             F    Fsus4 F
Just give me one last kiss goodbye

[Chorus]
Bb           Eb
Golden Down Golden Down
Bb                   Eb     F
Put a smile on this lonely town
Bb            Eb
Golden Light Golden Bright
Bb                         F       Fsus4 F
Won't you hold me in your arms tonight
Bb           Eb
Golden Down Golden Down
Bb                   Eb     F
Put a smile on this lonely town
Bb            Eb
Golden Light Golden Bright
Bb                         F       Fsus4 F
Won't you hold me in your arms tonight
