Winter coming

, [G/f#]

Winter push on

(push on)

Oh, winter push on

Winter is so long

, [G/f#]

Winter moves on

The last night on Maudlin Street

Goodbye house, goodbye stairs

I was born here and I was raised here

(,)

And I took some stick here

Love at first sight

It may sound trite

, [G/f#]

But it's true, you know

I could list the detail

Of everything you ever wore or said

, [G/f#]

Or how you stood the day

As we spent the

last night On Maudlin Street

"Goodbye house, forever!"

I never stole a happy hour

(, )

Around here

Where the world's ugliest boy

, [G/f#]

Became what you see

, ,[G/f#]

Here I am - the ugliest man

Oh, the last night on Maudlin Street

Truly I do love you

(,)

Oh, truly I do love you

When I sleep

With that picture of you framed beside my bed

Oh, it's childish and it's silly

, [G/f#]

But I think it's you in my room, by the bed

(...yes, I told you it was silly...)

And I know, I took strange pills

But I never meant to hurt you

(,)

Oh, truly I love you

Came home late one night

,[G/f#]

Everyone had gone to bed

But, you know, no-one stays up for you

I had sixteen stitches

,[G/f#]

All around my head

Oh, the last bus I missed to Maudlin Street

So he drove me home in the Van

(,)

Complaining, "Women only like me for my mind..."

Don't leave your torch behind

,[G/f#]

A power cut ahead; 1972, you know

And so we crept through the park

, [G/f#]

No, I cannot steal a pair of jeans off a clothesline

For you

But you ... without clothes

Oh, I could not keep a straight face

Me - without clothes ?

(,)

Well, a nation turns its back and gags...

I'm packed

I am moving house

,[G/f#]

A half-life disappears today

With "every hag waves me on"

,[G/f#]

(secretly wishing me gone)

Well, I will be soon

Ooh, I will be soon

I will be soon

I will be soon

Will be soon, I will be soon

, , , [G/f#], , , , /

Mmm ... I will be soon, I will be soon

There were bad times on Maudlin Street

They took you away in a police car

Inspector - don't you know ?

Don't you care ?

(,)

Don't you know - about Love ?

Your gran died

And your mother died

,[G/f#]

On Maudlin Street

In pain, and ashamed

With never time to say

,[G/f#]

those special things ... oh

I took the key from Maudlin Street

Well, it's only bricks and mortar !

(,)

Oh, oh, truly I love you

Oh, wherever you are

Wherever you are

Wherever you are

,[G/f#]

I hope you're singing now

Oh, I do hope

,[G/f#]

I hope you're singing now

Oh ...
