The Inner City Song,

	A
Intro: G-A-D-Bm G-A7-D-	-D

	D	Em
The	old man sits and wonders just	what can he do

	A	A7	G	D
He's	lived there in this	neighborhood since	nineteen-twenty-	two

	Em
He's forced to leave his home to make	way for their plans

	A	A7	D
And he	knows that they dont	care or give a	damm

	D	Em
So he	takes a stroll down Monto whats	left of it today

	A	A7	G	D
Re	membering his	childhood and the	games he used to	play

	Em
Now all he's got are memories and	they are but a few

	A	A7	D
And it	seems the money	grabbers want them	too

Chorus

	G	A	D
And	living in a	one room slum aint	easy

G	A	D
Raising seven	children on the	dole

	G	A	D	Bm
No	place for kids to	play while you	build your motor	way

	G	A7	D
Is	Loughlin house the play	ground of to	day

D	Em
Dublin's inner city is a	sorry sight to see

	A	A7	G	D
A	mass of filty	buildings	strife and pover	ty

	Em
The people find it hard to make ends	meet most of the time

	A	A7	D
And	you're surprised that	they should turn to	crime

Chorus

	D	Em
The	greedy speculators are	waiting to move in

	A	A7	G	D
With their	lawyers and their	legal talk the	chances are they'll	win

	Em
They make their public speeches and give the	people some old line

	A	A7	D
But you	know we wont be fooled so	easily this	time

Chorus twice


Repeat Intro
