Which leads us into the verse...

    F#m

The drinking dens are spilling out

        A

There's staggering in the square

        D

There's lads and lasses falling 'bout

     A         E

and a crackling in the air

(guitar plays a barre E chord here in the background)

(same verse chord pattern)

Down around the dungeon doors

The shelters and the queues

Everybody's looking for

Somebody's arms to fall into

         F#m        D  E

And it's what it is

(after these words he plays that cool lick... I can't quite hear how

he plays it exactly. Maybe the first part is 6h7h9/11\9p7, i.e. all

legato... maybe one might use tapping to play the 11 [yeah, I know

this isn't correct, so shut up :]... I don't know. Do what the little

voices in your head tell you ;)

(same verse chord pattern as above)

There's frost on the graves and the monuments

But the taverns are warm in town

People curse the government and

Shovel hot food down

Lights are out in city hall

The castle and the keep

-------------------

-------------------

---11--9--7~-------

---11--9--7~-------

-------------------

-------------------

The moon shines down upon it all

The legless and asleep

And it's          (slide up to a barre D chord here)

D

Cold on the tollgate

         A

With the wagons creeping through

D

Cold on the tollgate

    A                  E

God knows what I could do with you

Chorus -- see above

And it's what it is

The garrison sleeps in the citadel

With the ghosts and the ancient stones (barre F#m-E-D in the background)

High on the parapet

A Scottish piper stands alone

(verse chords as noted above)

There's a chink of light

There's a burning wick

There's a lantern in the tower

Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick

Still writing songs in the wee wee hours

On Charlotte Street I take

a walking stick from my hotel

The ghost of Dirty Dick

Is still in search of Little Nell

And that's what it is

(chorus lick and chords... you'll be able to figure that out yourself ;)

(from now on it's all F#m - D - E chords...)

It's what it is now

G------4b(6)-4b(6)---  echoes in the background

It's what it is

(violin)

What it is, now, now, now...

(w/ echo)

                                 (note: of course this could also be

                                  played on the G string only instead of

                                  on the G/D strings, but to me this

                                  sounds more exact)

... and then he starts playing the intro again, which I won't repeat

here since basically it's the same as above and I'm too lazy to copy it.

And when the intro/re-tro is over, it continues like...

                                                       .
