[Intro]
---------------------
D | Dsus2/C# | Bm | G 
Aadd11

[Verse 1]
---------------------
A     D                                                    Dsus2/C#
 As I walk these streets alone, through this borough I call       home
         Bm
Upon the baron fields of Highbury 'neath the stadiums of stone
                G
Through the turnstiles at The Angel, see the homeless on the green
         Aadd11                        A
From The Cally to The Cross, and every shithole in between

[Verse 2]
---------------------
         D                                                     Dsus2/C#
Pass the church, the mosque, a crack den, and the offie on the corner
             Bm
See the brasses from the brothel that pretends to be a sauna
             G
Watch the bedlam in the bookies, see the winners and the losers
        Aadd11                           A
Seeking solace from their sorrows in the local battle cruisers

[Verse 3]
---------------------
            D                                           Dsus2/C#
Through the madness in the market, weathered faces turn to     greet ya
         Bm
Hello guvnor, how's your mother? You alright son, be lucky, geeza
          G
Double pie and mash and liquor, a Cuppa Rosie Lee up chap
           Aadd11                       A
Or watch retired gangsters bicker, everyday in Arthur's cafe

[Verse 4]
---------------------
               D                                             Dsus2/C#
The little fuckers causing trouble, for the cozzers make you smile  
                Bm
You meet ya muckers for a couple, forget your troubles for a while
              G
From The Thornhill to The Hemmy, all the faces are the same
           Aadd11                           A
'Cause the manor might be changing, but the people still remain

[Chorus]
---------------------
D        Dsus2/C#  Bm
North London    forever
             G
Whatever the weather
                      Aadd11 A
These streets are our own   
       D          Dsus2/C#   Bm
And my heart will leave  you never
                 E
My blood will forever
                G    Gm D
Run through the stone

[Verse 5]
---------------------
     D                                                   Dsus2/C#
As I walk these streets alone, through a kingdom made of chrome 
           Bm
I see them ripping up the cobbles, and tearing down our childhood homes
            G
I see the architecture changing, watch the history disappear
        Aadd11                   A
And the skyline rearranging into towers of veneer

[Verse 6]
---------------------
              D                                                    Dsus2/C#
But I see the remnants of the London that they thought they could erase   
          Bm
Every time  I hear the old school talk about the good old days
             G
Or every time I watch the football and have a ruby with the lads
       Aadd11                       A
See an hoister selling clobber or a dealer shooting bags

[Verse 7]
---------------------
            D                                    Dsus2/C#
It's in the single mothers juggling a baby and a job    
         Bm
In every single brother struggling that wound up in the dock
                 G
It's in the roots and the foundations still clinging to the land
            Aadd11                            A
It's in the bricks that built the Morland and Popham that still stand

[Verse 8]
---------------------
           D                                             Dsus2/C#
It's in my family and my friends, in every gram and every       Benz
                 Bm
It's in the roots  that we inherit when a generation ends
                 G
It's in the ruins of your youth and the faces of your past
           Aadd11                           A7
'Cause the manor might be changing, but the people always last
