[Verse]
D C G
Quarter to ten at the A & E
D C G
Where nobody thought they would need to be
D C G
Saturday night in the old country
D C G
And we come to you on our knees
[Chorus]
D Em C G D
Take us in, will you, will you?
Em C G D
with the unlucky, the drunken too
Em C G D Em C G D
Take us in, will you, will you____?
[Verse]
G D C G
A blow to the head and a break to the foot
D C G
And a party of revellers turned meaner
D C G
A woman is red-eyed and reading a book
D C G
With a child asleep at her feet
[Chorus]
D Em C G D
Have you been here, waiting long?
Em C G D
With the others whose evening’s gone wrong
Em C G D Em C G D
Have you been here, waiting long____?
[Verse]
G D C G
Quarter to three and the NHS
D C G
Has given our worries a bed to rest
D C G
Fluorescent lights and a handful of tests
D C G
A quick smile from the nurse on her way
[Chorus]
D Em C G D
Smile again, can you, can you?
Em C G D
after all of the things you’ve been through
Em C G D Em C G D
Smile again, can you, can you____?
[Bridge]
G C G D Em C G D
A phone call breaks through still night, "I’m sorry to wake you
G C G D Em C G D
We’re on floor two, Fulham Palace Avenue"
[Verse]
G D C G
Quarter to eight, I walk out on the street
D C G
And Hammersmith Station’s alive with
D C G
Sunday day-shoppers who’ve risen from sleep
D C G
Just sure that today will arrive
[Chorus]
D Em C G D
Take good care, my friend, my friend
Em C G D
If there’s ever a hand I can lend
Em C G D Em C G D
Take good care, my friend, my friend____
[Verse]
D C G
Quarter to ten at the A & E
D C G
Where nobody thought they would need to be
D C G
Saturday night in the old country
D C G
And we come to you on our knees
