(intro C F C G7 C)
C F
The car that's parked on a pavement narked
C G7 C
Pedestrians and children with chalk
F
Their games, their shapes, their capers, their japes
C G7 C
Destroyed by a thoughtless shitehawk.
F C G
And yea though I walk in the road to get past, I'm not in the least afraid
C F
For soon I shall fly to the sweet by and by
C G7 C
Away from a world without shade.
F C G7 C
A streaker streaks and a nation shrugs at a saucer-like disc in the sky
C F
A stag weekend is a poor weekend
C G7 C
If the army is not on standby.
F
Pub grub, pub games, pub bands, pub names
C G
The Pit Bull that's great with kids
C F
If Chelsea, Chantelle and Jordan should gel
C G7 C
My fears would be laid to my skids.
F C G7 C
The maverick cops with their average flasks and boring unorthodox ways
C F
The previous life as a Pharaoh's wife
C G7 C
Is mightily irksome these days.
F C G
The Lady In Red hides under the bed from a husband who quotes Chubby Brown
C F
It's cold and it's wet and the knell of regret
C G7 C
Is pealing throughout every town
G7 C
Is pealing throughout every town.
