verse 1 
Amaj7            Bm7          C#m7 
Silver shone the rooftops, I heard the words 'you will' 
    E7                              A       B7sus4      E 
And realized that in your eyes, the force of love could kill 
  Amaj7            Bm7     C#m7           F7 
So go and get your wages, get what you deserve 
     E7                    Amaj7   Bm        A                     Amaj7 
When hope held out of it's hands today, you laughed and turned and fled 

 
Dmaj7 
Release, 'cos I wanted the world, 
   B7 
and all I could get to was a gun or a girl 
Dmaj7 
Release, now I've thrown them away 
   B7                         Bm7 
I'm here and I'm hungry and I hope I can stay

verse 2 
Amaj7             Bm7        C#m7 
The loch is overflowing, the sun has shed it's light 
     E7                                      A       B7sus4    E 
And all that's left to warm your breast's the wine we stole tonight 
Amaj7                         C#m7 
Bottle merchants both of us, overdosed on keats, 
    E7                   Amaj7   Bm             A               Amaj7 
we smashed them all and watched them fall like magic in the streets 

Chorus 
Dmaj7 
Release, 'cos I wanted the world, 
   B7 
and all I could get to was a gun or a girl 
Dmaj7 
Release, now I've thrown them away 
   B7                         Bm7 
I'm here and I'm hungry and I hope I can stay

verse 3 
B                   C#m7        D#m7              Dm7 
Standing in our new boots, we've lost the urge to hide 
   F#7                           B       C#7sus4    F# 
We left it with the souvenirs that forced us to decide 
B                   C#m7       D#m7         Dm7 
How we'd storm the palace, meet me at the gates 
    F#7                 Bmaj7        C#m6          B    Bmaj7   B 
There's plenty bread and water here for anyone who waits 


E 
Release, 'cos I wanted the world, 
   C#7 
and all I could get to was a gun or a girl 
E 
Release, now I've thrown them away 
   C#7 
I'm here and I'm hungry and I hope I can stay 
E 
But you can't remember where you squandered your hope 
   C#7 
A fistful of dollars and a fistful of dope 
     E 
With your hands in your hair and your hair in your face 
       C#7 
You'd better summon your soul because we're leaving this place 
    Emaj7                    C#7 
With a red, red flag and a red red flag 
    Emaj7             C#7 
A red red flag for a souvenir 
    Emaj7                    C#7 
With a red, red flag and a red red flag 
    Emaj7             C#7 
A red red flag for a souvenir
