Intro
| G          | C          | G          | C          |

Verse 1
G                                          C
Tommy’s from the city lives in a North End terraced house,
       G                                          C
near a council estate, he makes windows and doors.
               G                                                     C
And though his friends are means to ends, oh, how he often thinks of getting out
         G                           C
like his mother did, near 18 years before.

Interlude
| G          | C          | G          | C          |
Whistling Part

Verse 2
    G                                               C
The boy’s got a vision of going on a mission to the USA.
            G                                        C
He wants to sing and dance and act on those Broadway shows.
             G                                           C
If he should speak a word, well, then he’d save it for another day
      G                                      C
for a North End kid like him now it’s how it goes.

Chorus 1
G**         B7**                 Em
  He goes upstairs and takes his medicine,
        C**           Em**               B7***
goes to Heaven in his head and shuts his eyes.
                 C                                           G
When he sees the sunshine on his face sees the World as a completely different place
             C                    Em**                    D**
where he can find himself a lover   and add a kid to it’s space.

              C                                           G
Where there’s music in the street, the crowd are throwing roses at his feet
            C**                       Em**                          B7*
and then he pulls away the covers and ready’s for another couple of days in the real World,

struggling to make ends Interlude meet.

Interlude
| G          | C          | G          | C          |

Verse 3
        G                                              C
Tommy’s dad’s a marine so to dare or to dream’s rather hard sometimes
        G                                              C
and the anger builds from those lethal blows he’s took.
           G                                                C
If he’s to go out at night he’ll get caught in a fight in a bar sometimes,
        G*                                C
another North End Kid another shit out of luck.

Chorus 2
G**            B7**                Em
  Then he goes home and takes that medicine,
        C**           Em**               B7***
goes to Heaven in his head and shuts his eyes.
                 C                                           G
When he sees the sunshine on his face sees the World as a completely different place
             C                    Em**                    D**
where he can find himself a lover   and add a kid to it’s space.

              C                                           G
Where there’s music in the street, the crowd are throwing roses at his feet
            C**                       Em**                          B7*
and then he pulls away the covers and ready’s for another couple of days in the real World,

struggling to make ends Interlude meet.

Interlude
| G          | C          | G          | C          |
| G    B7    | Em         | C    Em    | B7         |

Outro
                 C                                           G
When he sees the sunshine on his face sees the World as a completely different place
             C                    Em**                    D**
where he can find himself a lover   and add a kid to it’s space;
              C                                           G
where there’s music in the street, the crowd are throwing roses at his feet
            C**                       Em**                          B7*
and then he pulls away the covers and ready’s for another couple of days in the real World,
                        G*
struggling to make ends meet.
