ANOTHER NIGHT IN THE LIFE OF A DAY
CFGFC
C F
Drinking your fine French cognac, Smoking a long filter cigerette
G
Playing blackjack with some jugglers
F C
South of the river, A place called Tooting Bec
C F
I rolled the dice into Soho, scored some grass
G F
from a cat named Verge, turned out to be pedals from some
C CFGFC
unlucky punters purse.
C F
We paid a Lady Godiva on entry, took the stairs to the second floor
G F C
We cut through the smoke, the smell of dope and some guy throwing up in the hall.
C F
We took a table by the window with some wooden glass in a frame
G F C CFGFC
I took a slug of nameless vodka, I hit the jukebox, it hit sustained.
C F
And a guy looking both ways came right up to me, he said
G F C
"You sure do look familiar." I said "I'm the guy you used to be."
C F
Well she leaned across the table and she whispered in me ear
G
There are two places in my bed tonight
F C
One for you and someone else here.
C F
Well I smiled and lit us both a cigerette and one for a passer-by
G F C
and before I even noticed we'd rolled the dice in the direction of Eel Pie
C F
I told my story of the goblin and the man in a dress
G
and the crazy women from Hampstead who caused myself
F C C
and my friend Jay much distress. Well, we all laughed
F
and so did the driver, as he took the last of our cash
G F
via the all night ship in Willesden Lane and the take away
C C
in Charing Cross. Well the passer-by happened to
F
work for vice, and the lady she was on the game
G F C
so we all ended up down the local nick with me trying hard to explain
C A F
It's just another night in the life
G C
It could only happen to me
C F G C
It's just another night in the life of a day that you see.
