Red brick dre----am.  Windows scre---am. 
E    E6    E             E6   E

And drops itâ's  iron   beams. 
E        B             Bb       A       E         E6   E 
Crashing down upon the roofs of Swindon tow-----n.

E    E6    E       E6   E          E6   E              E6     E 
By   the  light of the  furnace pouring mouton memories. 
E         B             Bb       A       E        E6   E

Who forms the losses all forgot.

They made the Thomas and the Janeâ's. 

B              Bb      A         E                 
Sleeping it remains in red brick dreams.
