Biography:
The Pale Fountains were an English band formed in Liverpool in 1980. Comprised of members Michael Head (vocals/guitar), Chris McCaffery (bass), Thomas Whelan (drums) and Andy Diagram (horns).
Inspired by 60's music such as Love, Burt Bacharach and The Beatles they failed to make any commercial headway despite garnering much critical praise for the two albums they released on Virgin, 1984's Pacific Street and 1985's ...From Across The Kitchen Table. Their sole top 50 single was Thank You which reached #48 in 1982.

Intro:
D7 C G
Johnny Redeye met his Ma
D7 C G
And he knew that she knew what he was gonna say
D7 C G
But it doesn't really matter, only today
D7 C G
Cause I've got bonds that I've saved up for a while
D7 C G
And she clipped his soft face with a knowing smile
D7 C G
And his face as he raised it to the sky
D7 C
And the sun begin to shine
Verse 1:
G Am Bm C
And in the morning when you rise
G Am
Be sure to know your destiny
Bm C
Cause it's all worth while, all worth while
G Am Bm C
The man across the street ain't wise
G Am
You know if he was wise, if he was wise
Bm C
He'd be on the other side, other side
Chorus
Em D Em D Em D
Reach every sky to know what it's like
C
But I try...
D
I, I, I, I
Verse 2 (chords as in verse 1):
I can see the road where you once flew
I'm in Pacific Street to make ends meet
And it's plain to see, and plain to see
Now I believe in what I do
The legends free, I cannot see
But it's all worth while, all worth while
Repeat chorus
Verse 3 (chords as in verses 1 & 2):
The man across the street ain't wise
You know if he was wise, if he was wise
He'd be on the other side, other side
And in the morning when you rise
Be sure to know your destiny
Cause it's all worth while, all worth while
All worth while
