INTRO (x2)
Gm7 
 
C7 
VERSE 1
Gm7 
The old encyclo
C7 
pedias
Gm7 
Their shelf-space reas
C7 
signed
Am 
To dust and broken  
Fmaj7 
dishes
Gm7 
The movers left be
C7 
hind
 
Gm7 
The knowledge we both  
C7 
treasured
Gm7 
Devalued out of  
C7 
mind
Am 
Though your mind stayed sharp and  
Fmaj7 
cloudless
Gm7 
’til the sightless downward  
C7 
climb
 
F6 
Some books on boggy  
Gm7 
lake 
 
shores
F6 
Their pages smeared and  
C7 
lobed (as we’re)
CHORUS 1
F 
Falling out  
C7 
North 
 
Street
 
Where the  
F 
town came to an  
C7 
end
 
In  
C7 
Saint Brigid  
Gm7 
crosses
 
And the  
Bbm 
punctures we can’t  
Fm 
mend
 
Gm7 
‘Mid sheets grown drenched and  
C7 
clinging
Gm7 
The sighing all the  
C7 
day
Am 
You woke up for some  
Fmaj7 
singing
Gm7 
The week you slipped a
C7 
way
 
Gm7 
I don’t want to go  
C7 
flying
Gm7 
But wakeful dreaming grips my  
C7 
heels
Am 
The Eastern Munster  
Fmaj7 
estates
Gm7 
The whipcrack, milk on  
C7 
wheels
 
F6 
You sank down in the  
Gm7 
wetlands
F6 
Through the rushes and the  
C7 
black sand (and we’re)
CHORUS 2
F 
Falling out  
C7 
North 
 
Street
 
With some  
F 
faded pre-war  
C7 
flag
C7 
Both of us  
Gm7 
laughing
 
The  
Dm 
world’s in on our  
C7 
gag (and we’re)
CHORUS 3
F 
Falling out North  
C7 
Street
 
As the  
F 
kids stream out of  
C7 
school
 
Our  
C7 
eyes wild and  
Gm7 
misty
 
We  
Bbm 
lords of sad mis
Fm 
rule
