Gates Of The West

The Clash

   C
1. I would love to be the lucky one on Chill Avenue
   Ami
   Who could keep your hear warm when ice has turned it blue
   G
   But with the beggin' sleeping losers as they turn in for the night
   C
   I'm looking back for home and I can see the lights
   
2. I should be jumpin' shoutin' that I made it all this way
   From Camden Town Station to 44th and 8th
   Not many make it this far and many say we're great
   But just like them we walk on an' we can't escape our fate

   Ami                F     G
X: Can't you hear the sighing
   C                  F
   Eastside Jimmy and Southside Sue
        G                         Csus C
   Both say they needed something new

          C
R: So I'm standing at the gates of the West
          Emi
   I burn money at the lights of the sign
      F     G        C
   The city casts a shadow of the perfect crime
   
   I'm standing at the gates of the East
             Emi
   I take my pulse and the pulse of my friend
      F      G               C
   The city casts a shadow, will I see you again?
   
3. The immigrants an' remnants of all the glory years
   Are clustered around the bar again for another round of beers
   Little Richard's in the kitchen playing spoons and plates
   He's telling the waitress he's great
   
4. Ah say I know somewhere back'n'forth in time
   Out on the dustbowls, deep in the roulette mine
   Or in a ghetto cellar only yesterday
   There's a move into the future for the U.S.A.

X: I hear them crying
   Eastside Jimmy and Southside Sue
   Both say they needed something new

R: So I'm standing...

   Standing at the gates of the West
   In the shadow again
   Standing at the gates of the West
   In the shadow again
   In the shadow again
