Dsus2
God of warm words
And good things
E7sus4         C??
God of change
             E7sus4
God of broken chains
     Asus
And rusty rails in sidings

God of the saints
And nearly departed
Come down and love the living
Before they go
Tell us a joke...

E7sus4
My girl going to town
C??
She dresses down
Dsus
She still wears that tiny ring
E7sus4
My girl going to town
C??
Takes the late train
Dsus
Oh it won't rain, she says

God of good times
Dry, happy, sunshine days
God of sand castles
And holidays
In motor cars

That take you days here and there
How long till we get there?
Fast asleep after tears
That gently change the colour
Of your brown skin

My girl going to town
Spends the days on her own
Says the summer nights are warm

My girl going to town
Is it her I'm worried for?
Is it me again?

G
Ooh just when I'm thinking.....
                                   Dsus
Giving you the words.....
G
Ooh Just when I'm sad.....
                     Dsus
Drowns out the alter bell.....
 		   Asus                  
All I have is this sound

               D
Of my girl going to town
Prey hard not to the god of violence
To the god of TV
The god who understands the ununderstandable

The god of ecstasy
Days worth forgiving
Share out your blessing
And use some of your love
I have no love only memories

Of my girl going to town
She wont be coming back
My girl going to town
But all the other girls are coming home
