Flanagan and Allen were a British singing and comedy double act popular during World War II. Its members were Bud Flanagan (1896 - 1968) and Chesney Allen (1893 - 1982). They were first paired in a Florrie Forde revue, and were booked by Val Parnell to appear at the Holborn Empire in 1926[1]. worked with that team for many years concurrently with their double-act career. Flanagan and Allen's songs featured the same, usually gentle, humour for which the duo were known in their live performances

VERSE 1
CD7 Underneath the arches, I dream my dreams away
G7C Underneath the arches, on cobble stones I lay.
A7D7 Every night you'll find me Tired out and worn
DmG7 Happy when the daylight comes creeping, heralding the dawn.
CHORUS
CD7 Sleeping when it's raining and sleeping when it's fine,
DmG7B7E7 Trains rattling by a - bove.
A7D7 Pavement is my pillow, No matter where I stray.
DmG7C Underneath the arches, I dream my dreams a - way.
