INTRO VERSE-
 C                                                Am
I was crawling around in my head in the haze of a trance.
           C                          Am                     F
Rico said, "I'ma turn you onto a sound, cool out your head.
                              G
This is the sound from Camden town."


C
And then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain,
 Am
I felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain,
 C
When the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me,
 Am
This ramshackle voice over attack of a bluesbeat,
 F                               G
Tellin' me he's only looking for fun.
Am                        G                    F
This was the sound of the very last gang in town.




CHORUS:
               C                                      F
As heard by my wild young heart, like directions on a cold dark night,
        C              F
Sayin', 'Let it out... You're doin' all right.'
                      C
And I heard it in his chain gang soul.
                   F
It wasn't just the same sad song.
        C                                   F
Saying, 'Let it out, you're doing all right.'
                  Em                     F        G           C
And I'm doing all right, are you doin' all right?




VERSE:
 C                                                     Am
And I carried these songs like a comfort wherever I'd go.
 C                                       Am
They was there when my summers was high, there when she left me alone.
F                              G
Saying... 'The soul is hard to find.'

 C
And I never got to tell him so I just wrote it down,
 Am
I wrapped a couple chords around it and I let it come out,
 C
When the walls of my bedroom trembled around me,
 Am
To this ramshackle voice over attack of a bluesbeat,
 F                                G
And a girl, on the excitement gang.
            Am                        G         F
That was the sound of the very last gang in town.




CHORUS:
               C                                      F
As heard by my wild young heart, like directions on a cold dark night,
        C                               F
Sayin', 'Let it out... You're doin' all right.'
                      C
And I heard it in his chain gang soul.
                   F
It wasn't just the same sad song.
         C                             F
Saying, 'Let it out, you're doing all right.'
                  Em                       G               
And I'm doing all right, are you doin' all right?



BRIDGE:
                            
C      Am       C     Am      F      G


Em    Em    F    G
ohh...


CHORUS

                  Am
And are you doing alright?
             G
That was the sound...
               Am
Do you hear the sound?
            G      
I hear the sound...
 F                    C                     
Of the very last gang in town...
