[Verse one]
C F G
Have you seen him walking up Brixton Hill

What does he care he’s got nothing to lose anymore
C G C G
He’s living alone up on Brixton Hill

[Verse three]
C F G
She said she was tired of the daily routine

Just wanted out took the lot and closed the door
C G C G
And left Bill alone up on Brixton hill
[Chorus]
F C F C
He became a weekend dad an Easter and a Christmas dad
F C G
A Dad for the football and the show

A Dad they could see awhile if he drivse about a hundred miles
C G C G
Just another man who would come and go.

Now the kids have grown, they still love him so

C G C G
And we can be together up on Brixton Hill
