rosy and grey
the lowest of the low


G C D
well i want to take a streetcar downtown
G C D 
read henry miller and wander around
G C D
and drink some guinness from a tin
G C D
'cause my U.I. cheque has just come in
D C
ahh, where you been, beacause

CHORUS:

C D G,G/F#,Em (walk the base line down to E every time)
everything is coming up rosy and grey
C D G Em
yeah the wind is cold but the smell of snow warms me today
C D G Em
and your smile is fine (wide?) it's just like mine - it won't go away
C D G Em
because everything is rosy and grey

well you've been under my skin for more than eight years
it's been eight years of laughter and eight years of tears
and i don't know what the future can hold or will do
but i'm a much better man for having known you
ahh, you know that's true because

CHORUS

Bm Em Am C
well i've been told that there's a sucker born every day
Am D Am D
but i wonder who, yeah, i wonder who
Bm Em Am C
maybe the one who doesn't realise there's a thousand shades of grey
Am D Am D
'cause i know that's true, yes i do, i know it's true, yeah, 
i know it's true... how 'bout you

well they're picking up trash and putting down roads
while they're brokering stocks the class struggle explodes
and i play this guitar just the best that i can
well maybe i'm not and maybe i am
well who gives a damn because...

CHORUS

well i've kissed you in france and i've kissed you in spain
and i've kissed you in places i'd better not name
and i've seen the sun go down on sacre coeur
but i like it much better going down on you
yeah, you know that's true because...

CHORUS
