Dire Straits - Lions: chords

Bm7     D           A        G7
Red sun, goin' down, way over dirty town.
Bm7                  D                 A        E7
Starlings, they're sweepin' around them crazy shoals.
Bm7         D           A                     G7
Yes, and a girl is there, high  heelin' out across the square.
Bm7             D               A                       E7
Wind it blows around in her hair and the flags upon the poles.
Em9
Waitin' in the crowd to cross at the light, she looks around
    G      F#7         Bm7  F#m7 Bm7  F#m7 C9
to find a face she can like.     Uh huh.

Church bell clinging on distant, trying to get a crowd for Evensong
Nobody cares to depend upon the chimes it plays
They're all in the station praying for trains
Congregation's late again
It's getting darker all the time, these flagpole days
Drunk old soldier he gives her a fright
He's a crazy lion, he's a-howling for a fight

Strap hanging, gunshots sound
Doors slamming on the Overground
Starlings are tough but the lions are made of stone
Her evening paper is horror torn
But there's hope for later, Capricorn
Her lucky stars give her just enough to get her home
Then she'll read about a swing to the right
But she's been thinking about a stranger in the night

Chorus:
G                       A
I'm thinkin' 'bout the lions.
G                   A
Thinkin' 'bout the lions.
G                     Asus4   Bm7  F#m7
What happened to the lions tonight?

  Bm7  F#m7 Bm7  F#m7 Bm7 A
Tonight,  tonight, uh huh

A
Thinking about the lions
