Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

[Intro]
A

[Verse]
A E F#m A D
I'm going on the circuit, I'm doing all the clubs
Bm A E A D
And I really need a song boys to stir those workers up
A E F#m A D
And get their wives to sing it with me just like in the pubs
Bm C#m D Bm E D
When I worked the good old pubs in Stepney

[Verse 2]
A E F#m A D
Oh could you knock a line or two together for a friend
Bm C#m D E A F#m
Sentimental tear inducing with a happy end
A E F#m A D
And we need a tune to open our season at Southend
Bm A D Bm E Em
Ca_________n you help us

[Chorus]
F G C
It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers
Am
So much to prove, so few to tell you why
F G
Those old die-hards in Denmark Street start laughing
C Am
At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes
Dm Em
It seems to me a change is really needed
F C
I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das
F C G
No more long days hacking hunks of garbage
C E A
Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars

[Instrumental]
A

[Verse 3]
A E F#m A D
I like the warm blue flame, the hazy heat it brings
Bm C#m D E A F#m
It loosens up the muscles and forces you to sing
Bm C#m D E A F#m D
You know it's just another hit and run from the tin pan alley twins
A E F#m A D
And there's a chance that one day you might write a standard lads
Bm C#m D E A F#m
So churn them out quick and fast and we'll still pat your backs
A E F#m A
`Cause we need what we can get to launch another dozen acts
Bm A D Bm E Em
Oooo______hhh Are you working

[Chorus 2]
F G C
It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers
Am
So much to prove, so few to tell you why
F G
Those old die-hards in Denmark Street start laughing
C Am
At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes
Dm Em
It seems to me a change is really needed
F C
I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das
F C G
No more long days hacking hunks of garbage
C E
Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars

[Chorus 3]
F G C
It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers
Am
So much to prove, so few to tell you why
F G
Those old die-hards in Denmark Street start laughing
C Am
At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes
Dm Em
It seems to me a change is really needed
F C
I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das
F C G
No more long days hacking hunks of garbage
C E
Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars

[Outro]
