lyrics

Old City

Am Em
Sundays I come here
C B7
For fried eggs and franks
B7 Em
And dimsum steaming on a silo
Am Em
Teh Tarik received with thanks

D Am
Only the Chinese
G D
Would rise this early in the rain
Em G
To a deserted market at 7 am
Am B7
To prepare food for so little gain

Neon lights and ceiling fans
Serenade the langour in this old hall
And masks cannot hide the wise smiles
And beauty of the people at the stalls
