[Verse 1]
A
Old man lying by the side of the road
Am7
With the lorries rolling by
D
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
F Em7
And the buildings scrape the sky
A
Cold wind rippling down the alley at dawn
Am7
And the morning paper fly
D
Dead man lying at the side of the road
F Em7
And the daylight in his eyes
[Chorus]
Em7 D7
Don't let it bring you down
C
It's only castles burning
Bm7
Find someone who's turning
A
And you will come around
G A C A G A C
[Verse 2]
A
Blind man running through the light of the night
Am7
With an answer in his hand
D
Come on down to the river of sight and
F Em7
You can really understand
A
Red light flashin' through the window in the rain
Am7
Can you hear the sirens moan?
D
White cane lying in the gutter in the lane
F Em7
And you're walking home alone
[Chorus]
D7
Don't let it bring you down
C
It's only castles burning just
Bm7
Find someone who's turning
A
And you will come around
G A C
A G A C
A
Don't let it bring you down
D
It's only castles burning just

Find someone who's turning
A
And you will come around

The chords are somewhat close. What is actually being played is very tough, so this is a decent tab for a beginner who just wants to play without worrying about that ridiculous (and pretty much impossible if you plan on not breaking strings) tuning in the other tab.
+11

yeah, capo the third fret and its pretty much perfect
+9

If you capo on the third fret, it sounds something like the recording, if that helps anyone.
