Just to say some of the lyrics weren't on lyric sites, so they may need
correcting. Also the chords are just starting points as 7's and add6's may need
adding. Great song though and my first full tab. Used the Radio 2 Folk Awards version.
Capo 3
At Ludgate CHill
on the cracked and blackened cobbles of the Ftown
the ashes fall to Crest
As the tiny King of Birds he flutters Fdown
to build a citaGdel
to light Amglory Gin the Fdark
and from Ghell
to breath Amhope in Gevery Fheart
Oah-Goh AmOah-Goh-Foh [x2]
At Ludgate CHill
through the siren screams the heavens burn Fagain
the city holds its Cbreath
as the tiny little king in slumber Fbed
arises from the Gdust
to light Amglory Gin the Fdark
and through the Gfrost
to breathe Amhope in Gevery Fheart
Oah-Goh AmOah-Goh-Foh [x4]
And there are Ammurmors in the Fchoir, there are Cwhispers in the Gdawn
that the Amking of birds is Fbroken on the Calter of his Ghome [x2]
At Ludgate CHill
where the towers of smoke and mirrors bruise the Fsky
the pilgrims huddle Cin
as the tiny King of Birds begins to Fcry
the people start to Gsing
to light Amglory Gin the Fdark
to ring the Gbell
and to breathe Amhope in Gevery Fheart
Oah-Goh AmOah-Goh-Foh [x8]
