 I  was crawling around in my head in the haze of a trance.
 Rico said, "I'ma  turn you onto a sound,  cool out your head.
 This is the sound from Camden town."
And  then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain,
 I  felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain,
 When  the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me,
 This  ramshackle voice over attack of a bluesbeat,
 Tellin'  me he's only looking for fun.
This  was the sound of the very  last gang in town.
 As heard by my wild  young heart, like directions on a cold  dark night,
 Sayin', 'Let  it out... You're  doin' all right.'
 And I heard it in his chain  gang soul.
 It wasn't just the same  sad song.
 Saying, 'Let  it out, you're doing all right.'
 And I'm doing all right,  are you doin' all  right?
 And  I carried these songs like a comfort wherever I'd go.
 They  was there when my summers was high, there  when she left me alone.
Saying...  'The soul is hard to find.'
 And  I never got to tell him so I just wrote it down,
 I  wrapped a couple chords around it and I let it come out,
 When  the walls of my bedroom trembled around me,
 To  this ramshackle voice over attack of a bluesbeat,
 And  a girl, on the excitement gang.
 That was the  sound of the very last gang  in town.
 As heard by my wild  young heart, like directions on a cold  dark night,
 Sayin', 'Let  it out... You're doin' all right.'
 And I heard it in his chain  gang soul.
 It wasn't just the same  sad song.
 Saying, 'Let  it out, you're doing all right.'
 And I'm doing all right,  are you doin' all right?
ohh...
 And are you doing alright?
 That was the sound...
 Do you hear the  sound?
 I hear the sound...
 Of  the very last gang in  town...

I[C] was crawling around in my head in the haze of a [Am]trance.
Rico said, [C]"I'ma turn you onto a sound[Am], cool out your head.  [F]
This is the sound from Camden [G]town."

[C]And then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain,
I[Am] felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain,
W[C]hen the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me,
T[Am]his ramshackle voice over attack of a bluesbeat,
T[F]ellin' me he's only looking for [G]fun.
[Am]This was the sound of the [G]very last gang in tow[F]n.

As heard by my [C]wild young heart, like directions on a [F]cold dark night,
Sayin', [C]'Let it out... [F]You're doin' all right.'
And I heard it in his [C]chain gang soul.
It wasn't just the [F]same sad song.
Saying, [C]'Let it out, you're doing all right.[F]'
And I'm doing all [Em]right, are you doin' al[F]l right? [G]             [C]

A[C]nd I carried these songs like a comfort wherever I'd g[Am]o.
T[C]hey was there when my summers was high, [Am]there when she left me alone.
[F]Saying... 'The soul is hard to [G]find.'

A[C]nd I never got to tell him so I just wrote it down,
I[Am] wrapped a couple chords around it and I let it come out,
W[C]hen the walls of my bedroom trembled around me,
T[Am]o this ramshackle voice over attack of a bluesbeat,
A[F]nd a girl, on the excitement gang[G].
That was the[Am] sound of the very last ga[G]ng in town[F].

As heard by my [C]wild young heart, like directions on a [F]cold dark night,
Sayin', [C]'Let it out... You're doin' all [F]right.'
And I heard it in his [C]chain gang soul.
It wasn't just the [F]same sad song.
Saying, '[C]Let it out, you're doing all r[F]ight.'
And I'm doing all [Em]right, are you doin' all [G]right?

[C]      [Am]       [C]     [Am]      [F]      [G]

[Em]ohh...[Em]      [F]           [G]

And are you doing [Am]alright?
That was the [G]sound...
Do you hear the[Am] sound?
I hear the s[G]ound...
O[F]f the very last gang [C]in town...
