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) C G (x3) Eb G

G
I’ve just finished decorating, it was very irritating
C G C G
And I know they’re going to come around tonight and I know they’re gonna say to me tonight:
D7 G D7 G
“It makes the room look bigger; it makes the room look bigger”.

G
So let’s forget about the open-top bus ride; standing tall on the town hall balcony
C G C G
It’s about as likely as hen’s teeth; it’s about as likely as hen’s teeth
D7 G D7 G
And as the light gets dimmer, I watch the chance get slimmer.

C G
But I’m putting up a hook to hang my hopes upon
C G
There’s a fella coming round to stick the gas back on
C G
And if truth be told now that Thelma’s gone
D G (instr) G C (x3) D7 G
It makes the room look bigger.

G
I’m drawn towards the souvenir stores; I twirl around the key fob rack
C G C G
Well it’s alright for Nicholas and for Neil, yeah well how do you think that makes me feel?
D7 G D7 G
And all the while I can see I’m on the CCTV.

(no chord)
Elderly lady at the bus stop thinks I’m going to eat her and so to reassure her
C G
I ask her for the time
C G C G
And her sense of relief at my friendly tone reveals itself in her karmic moan:
C G
“You can wait twenty minutes and nothing comes along
C Eb
And then all of a sudden three thugs rob your pension
D7 G
Oh, there’s generally one a twenty-five past
D7 G
There’s generally one at twenty-five past
D7 G
They come swinging round that corner,
Eb G C G C G
They think they’re Benny Goodman”.

C G
But I’m putting up a hook to hang my hopes upon
C G
There’s a fella coming round to stick the gas back on
C G
And if truth be told now that Thelma’s gone
D G
It makes the room look bigger.
D G C G G C G
Oh tiptoe to the front row of the Korn show with a sub-machine gun.
