Metropolitan Avenue lyrics and chords

This song was written by Noel Brazil and sang by Christy Moore. I have included 2 different sets of guitar chords.
[D ]first days in the loft i thought i might[Em[ live
new[D] faces,new[Em] streets
[D]no cash in the hand was amking me[Em] think
wot[D] now,whats[Em] next
[C]thats not to say i wasnt welcomed,i was welcomed
i was[G] taken in.
i[C] took the bait when i was hunted i was wretched
i was[G] freezing
CHORUS

[Em]Metropolitan ave standing tall in the[D] winter snow
il[C] be back with you[Em] before i go.

[D] dont run like a dog i know how it[Em] feels
without[D] heat without[Em] love
[D]ran free in the park like jekyll and[EM] hyde
me and[D] pete, me and[Em] pete
[C]up half the night unwilling witness to some
strangers[G] fued
[C]deep underground i hear the notes of some
old gmablers[G] blues
CHORUS

[Em]this rose will never[D] blossom[C] now it needs
[Em]light shinning on its[C] back.
[Em]this road will[D] never take me[C] out iv been
[Em] stopped in my[c] tracks
[C]there goes the night and now the sun begins
to filter[G] through
i[C] took the bait when i was hunted i was
wrectched didnt know i was failing[G] you
