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!

(instr) B E (x4) Ab Eb (x4)

Ab Eb
A doyen of topiary once told me
Ab Eb
That one day he would like to grow a maze
Ab Eb
It seemed to be quite logical that this should be his wish
Ab Eb
And with that we both went our separate ways.

C Am
They said you died at seven due to something in your head
C Am
I asked the sister why it wasn’t someone else instead
C Am
Tonight I’ll cry myself a bath of tears and ask the world
G G7 B E (x2) Ab Eb (x4)
“Why is Rod Hull alive – and getting paid as well?”

Ab Eb
Heard a Palace spokesman mention Sarah
Ab Eb
Said she’d known the groins of Jacques Laffite
Ab Eb
She’s well prepared to be a standard bearer
Ab Eb
As pure as unproverbial driven sleet.

C Am
Halfway up the Wrekin with an empty flask of tea
C Am
A fog descends and takes away my visibility
C Am
Yet in this Helen Keller state I’d still quite like to know
G G7
“Why is Rod Hull alive – and getting paid as well?”

Am E Am E
And I wonder if they’ll bring back National Service and the birch
Am E Am G B E (x8)
And I wonder but I doubt if they will ever bring back the Watney Cup.
