Verse
Em G The drinking dens are spilling out and staggering in the square, C G D There's lads and lasses falling about and a crackelling in the air Em G Then around the dungeon doors there's shelters in the queues, C G D Everybody's looking for somebody's arms to fall into
Chorus
Em G C D It's what it is Em C D That's what it is man
Verse
Em G Here's frost on the graves and the monuments but the taverns are warm in town C G D People curse the government and shovel hot food down Em G Lights are out in cityhall, the castle and the keep C G D Moon shines down upon it all, the legless and the sleepless C G Cold on a tollgate where the wagons creeping through C G D Cold on a tollgate God knows what I can do
Chorus
Em G C D It's what it is Em C D That's what it is man
Verse
Em G The garrison sleeps and the citadel with the ghosts and the ancient stones C G D High on the parapet the Scottish pipers stands alone Em G High on the wind the howling runes speak of the rule C G D And something from the past just comes and stares into my soul C G Cold on a tollgate where the Caledonian moves C G D Cold on a tollgate God knows what I can do with you
Chorus
Em G C D It's what it is Em C D That's what it is man

Verse
Em There's a chink of light as a burning wick G There's a lantern in the tower C G D Wee Willie Winkie with the candle sticks still writing songs in the mean wee hours Em G On Charlotte Street they take a walking stick from my hotel C D The ghost of Dirty Dick is still in search of little Nell
Outro
Em C D That's what it is Em C D It's what it is now Em C D That's what it is Em C D It's what it is now, now, now...
