>		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

>		       C
CHORUS:		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
