1 - What It Is
Time: 4/4
Key: A Major
Capo: No for the 1st guitar, 2 for the 2nd guitar
For the second guitar put capo on 2nd fret and hit 'transpose' down to Em (-1)
| F#m - - A | D E |
| F#m | D E | x7
F#m
The drinking dens are spilling out
A
There's staggering in the square
D
There's lads and lasses falling about
A E F#m
And a crackling in The air
Down around the dungeon doors
A D
The shelters and the queues
Everybody's looking for
A E
Somebody's arms to fall into
F#m D E
And it's what it is
F#m D E
It's what it is now
F#m
There's frost on the graves and the monuments
A D
But the taverns are warm in town
People curse the government
A E
And shovel hot food down
F#m
The lights are out in city hall
A
The castle and the keep
D
The moon shines down upon it all
A E
The legless and asleep
D
And it's cold on the tollgate
A D
With the wagons creeping through
Cold on the tollgate
A E
God knows what I could do with you
F#m D E
And it's what it is
F#m D E
It's what it is now
F#m
The garrison sleeps in the citadel
A D
With the ghosts and the ancient stones
High on the parapet
A E F#m
A Scottish piper stands alone
And high on the wind
A D
The highland drums begin to roll
A
And something from the past just comes
E
And stares into my soul
D
And it's cold on the tollgate
A D
With a caledonian blues
Cold on the tollgate
A E
God knows what I could do with you
F#m D E
And it's what it is
F#m D E
It's what it is now
F#m D E
And it's what it is
F#m D E
It's what it is now
| F#m | A | D | A E | x2
| F#m | D E | x4
F#m
There's a chink of light, there's a burning wick
A
There's a lantern in the tower
D
Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick
A E
Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
F#m
On Charlotte Street I take
A D
A walking stick for my hotel
The ghost of Dirty Dick
A E
Is still in search of Little Nell
F#m D E
That's what it is
F#m D E
It's what it is now
F#m D E
It's what it is
F#m D E
What it is now
| F#m | D E | repeat to the end

Stood there as still as could be

Am
These tables are haunted
G
By the ghost of Las Vegas
Am
Their chips were once mountains
G Am
But they came here to play
Am C
They could take me if they wanted
G
But I have nothing worth counting
Am
And like the sands of Nevada
G Am
They go drifting away
Am
Lady luck's still a mystery
G
With her head on my shoulder
Am
And I don't know why
G Am
I still want her to dance
Am C
I guess that's all history
G
What it is is a I'm older
Am
And I'm still a fool
G Am
For a one-way romance
C
Her dice were red rubies
F G
They rolled and they tumbled
C
And I never saw time
F G
Running out with my roll
Am
And in the wasteland of cut glass
G
My dreams were crumbled
Am
And I've paid with whatever
G Am
I had left for a soul

Am
Now the dawn's broken even
G
On a empty horizon
Am
No reason for folding
G Am
No reason to stay
Am C
It's too soon to be leaving
G
Too late for criticizing
Am
And the sands of Nevada
G Am
They go drifting away

To make your whole life better

Your whole life better one day

Something's going to happen

To make your whole life better

I'm afraid tonight it's take-away

You see there is no evening meal
C E7sus4 E7 Am
Don't worry dear you shall go to the ball
F
I think the fairy said
C/G
These suitcases have seen it all
G
From under someone else's bed
Dm Am
You want to smile those tears away
F G
Now don't you cry
Dm Am
You want to know what I say

I say never say die
