A  G A C    (x2)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
 A
 Old man lying by the side of the road
          Am7
 With the lorries rolling by
 D
 Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
         F                    Em7
 And the buildings scrape the sky       
 
 A
 Cold wind rippling down the alley at dawn
          Am7
 And the morning paper fly
 D
 Dead man lying at the side of the road
         F               Em7
 And the daylight in his eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 Em7            D7
   Don't let it bring you down
                   C
 It's only castles burning
                    Bm7
 Find someone who's turning
                    A
 And you will come around

[Verse 2]
 
 A
 Blind man running through the light of the night
         Am7
 With an answer in his hand
 D
 Come on down to the river of sight and
         F             Em7
 You can really understand
 
 A
 Red light flashin' through the window in the rain
         Am7
 Can you hear the sirens moan?
 D
 White cane lying in the gutter in the lane 
         F               Em7
 And you're walking home alone
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 A
 Don't let it bring you down
                   D
 It's only castles burning just
                    Bm7
 Find someone who's turning
 
                    A
 And you will come around

 A
 Don't let it bring you down
                   D
 It's only castles burning  just
                    Bm7
 Find someone who's turning
                    A
 And you will come around
