[Intro]
| Bb | Dm/A | Cm/G | Ebm |

[Verse 1]
Bb                              Dm/A
If you wish to walk beside a boy    who kicks his ball down
             Cm/G
cobbled lanes
                                Ebm
And Mother's worried sick to why   he's out this late again
Bb                                Dm/A
Sister knits a woolly hat for footprints in the sand
   Eb
So careful where he sleeps
      Ebm
A soul   of Chapel Street

[Verse 2]
      Bb                               Dm/A
And if  you wish to dance beside a girl    with playful
                    Cm/G
pigtails in her hair
She writes a dozen letters
Ebm
Dreams of when her love returns
      Bb                             Dm/A
And as  she whispers softly for a boy    who's hit the
ground
     Eb
Well darling now he sleeps
      Ebm
A soul   of Chapel Street

[Chorus]
Cm7             F7                           Bb
   One sixty one  poppies race around my head
                                Gm
I'm running through the rows of red
      Cm7                         F7
And oh   one hundred and sixty one  for the souls of Chapel
Eb    Ebm
Street

[Verse 3]
Bb      Bb                             Dm/A
  And if  you wish to stand beside a father dressed in
                      Cm/G
black from head to toe
                               Ebm
He whistles lullabies and tells   her he must go
       Bb                                 Dm/A
He says  that he'll be back to make the angels in the snow
    Eb
But honey now he sleeps
      Ebm
A soul   of Chapel Street

[Verse 4]
      Bb                              Dm/A
And if  you wish to stand beside a boy    who works with
                      Cm/G
hands of soot and coal
He steals the master's muffins
Ebm
Bloody knuckles tell the tale
       Bb
He says  that he'll be bringing back
      Dm/A
The riches from the war
    Eb
But sweetie now he sleeps
      Ebm
A soul   of Chapel Street

[Chorus]
Cm7             F7                           Bb
   One sixty one  poppies race around my head
                                Gm
I'm running through the rows of red
      Cm7                         F7
And oh   one hundred and sixty one  for the souls of Chapel
Eb    Ebm Bb
Street

[Solo]
| Cm7 - | F7 - | Bb -   | Gm - |
| Cm7 - | F7 - | Eb Ebm |

[Chorus]
Bb      Cm7             F7
  And oh   one sixty one  poppies race around my head,
Bb
  oh no
                                  Gm
I'm running through the fields of green
      Cm7                         F7
And oh   one hundred and sixty one  for the souls of Chapel
Eb    Ebm Bb Bm
Street

| Cm7 | F7 | Eb |

[Outro]
Ebm      Bb                                Dm/A
   And if  you wish to walk behind the boys    who kick
                         Cm/G
their ball down pebbled avenues
                      Ebm
And honest smiles defy   the Monday blues
         Bb                               Dm/A
But still  I hear the sound of cobbles to clogs and combat
boots
   Eb
So careful where they sleep
         Ebm                Bb
The souls   of Chapel Street
