The Kinks - Dead End Street: chords

 Am                        C  G
There's a crack up in the ceiling
 Dm                       F  Am
And the kitchen sink is leaking
 Am                     C  G
Out of work and got no money
 Dm                          F Am
A Sunday joint of bread and honey
 Am                    G F
What are we living for?
                             E7
Two roomed apartment on the second floor?
 Am                G F
No money comin' in,
                               E7
the rent collector's knockin' trying to get in
A                                 Dm          E
We are strictly second class, we don't understand

Chorus:
 F             E                Am        G
Dead end! Why we should be in dead end street
 F           E                   Am       G
Dead end! People are livin' in dead end street
 F              E            Am        G
Dead end! I'm gonna die in dead end street
 C          F             C        F
Dead end street (yeah!) Dead end street (yeah!)

On a cold and frosty morning
Wipe my eyes and stop me yawning
And my feet are nearly frozen
Boil the tea and put some toast on
What are we living for?
Two-roomed apartment on the second floor
No chance to emigrate
I'm deep in debt and now it's much too late
We both want to work so hard
We can't get the chance

Chorus:
(Dead end!) People live on dead end street
(Dead end!) People are dying on dead end street
(Dead end!) I'm gonna die on dead end street
Dead end street (Yeah!)
Dead end street (Yeah!)

(Dead end!) People live on dead end street
(Dead end!) People are dying on dead end street
(Dead end!) I'm gonna die on dead end street
Dead end street (Yeah!)
Dead end street (Yeah!)
Dead end street (Yeah!)
Head to my feet (Yeah!)

Dead end street (Yeah)
Dead end street (Yeah)
Dead end street (Yeah)
How's it feel? (Yeah)
How's it feel? (Yeah)
Dead end street (Yeah)
Dead end street (Yeah)
