[Intro]
Am
 
 
[Verse]
       G                          E7                   F
Signal drawn upon the bricks of a clinic for the dispossessed
            G                            E7                     Am
Collect the brine from the rain gutters, let the devil take the rest
Em7  E7 Am          C      D7
Rats returning home to our nest
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm7                                     E7
Beneath the streets of the city with my brethren
                   Am
In the neverending shadows
Dm7                                     E7
Beneath the streets of the city with my brethren
                   Am       G        F    Am
In the neverending shadows, there I go
 
 
[Verse]
       G                          E7                    F
Secret hymnal with the words in a version of the mother tongue
        G                      E7                      Am
Walls envelop all of us like a mother who protects her young
Em7    E7 Am             C      D7
Spores at play deep down in our lungs
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm7                                     E7
Beneath the streets of the city with my brethren
                   Am
In the neverending shadows
Dm7                                     E7
Beneath the streets of the city with my brethren
                   Am       G       F    Am
In the neverending shadows, there I go
