Town Called Malice Chords

(ver. 1)
Paul Weller
A Town Called Malice by The Jam.




When You're playing the B chord, you need to hammer on the C note at the end of the bar, 
if played from the 1st position is the G string on the 6th fret or if you play it 
at the 7th fret, it will be the D string at the 11th fret.
It sounds best if you play with a capo on the 2nd fret, play all chords as normal except 
E, play the D chord, Capo 2 makes an E.

You'd better stop dreaming of the quiet life

Ebm7
And quit running for that runaway bus
C#m
'cos those rosey days are few

And stop apologising for the things you've never done

'cos time is short and life is cruel, but it's up to us to change

Verse 2:
Ebm7
Rows and rows of disused milk floats
C#m
stand dying in the dairy yard
Ebm7
And a hundred lonely housewives
C#m
clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts
E                                 Ebm7
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
F#
It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious in a town called

Bbm                      Abm
whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
Bbm                Abm
Gets dashed against the Co-op

To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
F#
It's a big decision in a town called malice.

The ghost of a steam train, echoes down my track

Ebm7                                    C#m
It's at the moment bound for nowhere, just going round and round
E
D#m7Playground kids and creaking swings, lost laughter in the breeze
