~~~~~~~~~
She was sick and tired of country life, a little country home, a little country folk
Made her blood run cold, now her mother pines her heart away
Looking for her child in the big black smoke, in the big black smoke.
Frailest, purest girl the world has seen, according to her ma, according to her pa
And everybody said that she knew no sin and did no wrong
Till she walked the streets of the big black smoke, of the big black smoke.
Well, she slept in caffs and coffee bars and bowling alleys
And every penny she had, had.. was spent on purple hearts and cigarettes.
She took all her pretty coloured clothes and ran away from home, with the boy next door
For a boy named Joe, and he took her money for the rent
And tried to drag her down in the big black smoke.
In the big black smoke, in the big black smoke, in the big black smoke,
In the big black smoke, in the big black smoke, smoke..

Kinks key is Em, too high for my wrecked voice;)

Big Black Smoke" is the B-side to The Kinks' single "Dead End Street", written by Ray Davies. The song wasn't originally included on any album, but has since appeared as a track on the popular 1972 Kink Kronikles compilation and as a bonus track on the CD reissue of Face to Face.
