Bm     D       A        G7
Red sun go down way over dirty town
Bm           D              A      G7     Bm
Starling are sweeping around crazy shoals
  D
A girl is there
A             G7
High heeling across the square
Bm               D                A                       G7
Wind is blowing around in her hair and the flags upon the poles
Em7
Waiting in the crowd to cross at the light
                    Gm6    F#7          Bm   F#m7   Bm  F#m7  C7
She looks around to find a face she can like

Bm         D                   A                  G7
Church bell clinging on just to try to get a crowd for Evensong
Bm              D          A             G7
Nobody cares to depend upon the chime it plays
Bm                        D
They're all in the station praying for trains
A           G7
Congregation late again
Bm                 D                  A         G7
It's getting darker all the time these flagpole days
Em7
Drunk old soldier gives her a fright
                  Gm6    F#7    Bm     F#m7   Bm  F#m7  C7
He's a crazy lion howling for a fight

Bm           D
Strap hanging gunshot sound
A                    G7
Doors slamming on the overground
Bm           D             A                       G7
Starling are tough but the lions are made of stone
Bm                  D
Her evening paper is horror torn
A                      G7
But there's hope later for Capricorns
Bm                  D          A           G7
Her lucky gives her just enough to get her home
Em7
The she's reading about a swing to the right
                           Gm6     F#7      Bm    F#m7   G
But she's thinking about a stranger in the night
                       A             G
I'm thinking about the lions tonight
                   A             G
Thinking about the lions tonight
                     A     G
What happened to the lions
       Bm  A
To the lions
       Bm  A
To the lions
       Bm  A
To the lions
       Bm  A
To the lions
A
Thinking about the lions



REPEAT AND FADE...
