Strum
D-DU-UDU
 The holy  city breathed
 Like a dying  man
 It moved  with hopeful tears
 With the tears  of the blind
 And on  and on as the night  drew in
 Through broken  streets that sucked  me in
 My feet  were bare and cut  with stones
 With walking  to the promised  land
  2 x
 I pushed  through crowds, through seas  of prayer
 Through twisting  hands and choking  air
 A vulture  at the wailing  wall
 I circled,  waiting
 And on  and on as the night  drew in
 Through broken  streets that sucked  me in
 My feet  were bare and cut  with stones
 With walking  to the promised  land
  4 x

Readable chord sheet for Wailing Wall by The Cure

The h[Em]oly    city brea[F]thed   [G]
Like a dy[Em]ing man     [F]          [F]
It m[Em]oved    with hopeful t[F]ears      [G]
With the te[Em]ars of the blind       [F]              [F]

And [G]on and on    as the n[F]ight drew in
Through br[G]oken streets    that suc[F]ked me in
My f[G]eet were bare     and c[F]ut with stones
With wal[G]king to the p[F]romised la[Em]nd

               2 x     [Em]        [F]      [G]

I pu[Em]shed through crowds,      through s[F]eas of prayer    [G]
Through twi[Em]sting hands    and cho[F]king air    [F]
A v[Em]ulture     at the wai[F]ling wall  [G]
I ci[Em]rcled,      wai[F]ting     [F]

And [G]on and on    as the ni[F]ght drew in
Through br[G]oken streets    that su[F]cked me in
My f[G]eet were bare     and c[F]ut with stones
With wal[G]king to the pro[F]mised land [Em]

           4 x     [Em]        [F]      [G]
