Intro chords

Verse 1 chords:

I tumbled out of Gateshead, it was a lazy afternoon

I put the pedal down for southbound, beneath an early rising moon

And I ended up in Durham, standing underneath the rain

Sometimes the whole world is a city, where no one knows your name

Pre-chorus 1 chords:

There was a gypsy selling papers she sounded like a mourning dove

Calling soft and sad and quiet, one part grief and one part love

Chorus 1 chords:

One part love, one part love

One part love

Verse 2

[use verse 1 chords]

It was a late night in Newcastle and I made myself a friend

We traded cab fare from the hotel across the Tyne and back again

And we stood each other beers out of the money from the show

And then we talked about the job and indie bands and bars back home

Pre-chorus 2

[use pre-chorus 1 chords]

And with the hotel windows open I slept and woke and slept again

And I dreamed they burned a city with a suitcase and a grin

Verse 3

[use verse 1 chords]

And so I stood in Durham City beneath the castle and the keep

And I heard a gypsy woman selling, like one part love and one part grief

Pre-chorus 3

[use pre-chorus 1 chords]

And my dream came to me waking, on the cobbles in the rain

Maybe nothing is forever, nothing is in vain

Chorus 2

One part love, one part love

One part love
