Ruins by Cat Stevens
INTRO: D/F# G Gadd9 (x8)
D/F# G D/F# G
It's so quiet in the ruins, walking through the old town,
D/F# G D/F# G
Stones crumbling under my feet, I see smoke for miles around,
D/F# G D/F# G
Oh, it's enough to make you weep, all that remains of the main street,
D/F# G D/F# G
Up in the park on Sunday, dogs chasing, and the children playing,
F C F C A
Old man with his head down, can't see nothing more around…, no!
D/F# G D/F# G
But he remembers how it used to be, back in the old days,
Dsus4 G Em
So nice to see you coming back in this town again,
C G
It's nice to see a friendly face come peeping through,
A
Having tea in the afternoon,
Dsus4 G Em C G A
So nice to see you coming back in this town again
D/F# G Gadd9 (x3)
D/F# G D/F# G
Ah, but it's all changed, Winter turned on Man,
D/F# G D/F# G
Came down one day when no one was looking, and it stole away the land,
D/F# G D/F# G
People running scared, losing hands, dodging shadows of falling sand,
D/F# G D/F# G
Buildings standing like empty shells, and nobody helping no one else,
F C F C A
Young child with his hands high, ain't able to see no reason why…, no!
D/F# G D/F# G
But he remembers how it used to be,
Dsus4 G Em
So nice to see you coming back in this town again,
C G
It's nice to see a friendly face come peeping through,
A
You better know what you're going through, now!
A B7 D
You came back to find your home is a black horizon,
E7 A B7
That you don't recognise, evil destruction has taken everything,
D E7 A
You'd better walk on the side, while you're still walking,
B7 D
Just keep on walking on down the street,
E7 A
Keep your distance from the people you meet,
B7 D
Oh, Lord, and you'd better watch your eyes, 'cause, if smoke gets in them,
E7
Baby, you won't rise again!
Dsus4 G Em C G A
So nice to see you coming back in this town again!
D/F# G Gadd9 (x4)
D/F# G D/F# G
Where's it leading to? Freedom at what cost?
D/F# G D/F# G
People needing more, and more, and it's all getting lost,
D/F# G D/F# G
I want back! I want back!
D/F# G
Back to the time when the earth was green,
D/F# G
There was no high walls, and the sea was clean!
F C F C A D/F# G D
Don't stop that sun to shine, it's not yours or mine…, no!
