Billy Bragg - You Woke Up My Neighbourhood Chords

You Woke Up my Neighbourhood

G                              Em
As I wait for sleep to drag me under
G                              Em
In the evening gloom I sit and wonder
D           C                   D
The words I should have said to you
D            C               D
The things I always meant to do
D                   C
The bad dreams that all came true

G        D     C
You woke up my neighbourhood
G           D              C
Night after night we would row
G        D     C
You woke up my neighbourhood
Am
Things and pretty quiet round here now

When I think of how we were together
I know we couldn't be like that forever
Beneath the Seven Sister stars
The night we let it go too far
I slept out in the car

You woke up my neighbourhood
Night after night we would row
You woke up my neighbourhood
Things and pretty quiet round here now

Bb         Am              C                  G
I remember skipping on the porch till it grew cold
Bb         Am                  C          D
I remember feeling like I was eight years old

Somersaults across the lawn
Singing dancing up till dawn
Every now and then we'd have a row
You woke up my neighbourhood
Things and pretty quiet round here now

You woke up my neighbourhood
Night after night we would row
You woke up my neighbourhood
Things are pretty quiet round here now
            G
Around here now
