[Intro]
D Dsus4 D A7sus4
D Dsus4 D A7sus4
[Verse 1]
D A7sus4
I used to play in an orchestra
D A7sus4
Many years ago
D A7sus4 D A7sus4
Once we were even on TV.
D A7sus4
Used to play many a song,
D A7sus4 D A7sus4
Waiting for the days which were long, to never end.
D Dsus4 D A7sus4
D Dsus4 D A7sus4
[Chorus]
G C D
And the Tellers lied
G C D
Fortunes all supplied
G C D
Love and happiness; Success
G C D
Now I find this bloody mess.
[Bridge]
D Dsus4 D Dsus2
A Am7 Bb C
[Verse 2]
D A7sus4
My father was a rich man but he
D A7sus4 D A7sus4 D A7sus4
Never had a penny to his name
D A7sus4 D
Sitting in his seat in the dizzy heat he didn't have a clue
A7sus4 D A7sus4 D A7sus4
That he put us all to shame.
[Chorus]
G C D
And the Tellers lied
G C D
Fortunes all supplied
G C D
Love and happiness; Success
G C D
Now I find this bloody mess.
[Bridge]
D Dsus4 D Dsus2
A Am7 Bb C
[Verse 3]
D A7sus4 D
When you'd stumble I'd lift you up
A7sus4 D A7sus4 D A7sus4
Help you lean against the wall.
D A7sus4
I'd pick you up from the gutter
D A7sus4 D A7sus4 D A7sus4
But you seemed to like the fall.
[Chorus]
G C D
And the Tellers lied
G C D
Fortunes all supplied
G C D
Love and happiness; Success
G C D
Now I find this bloody mess.
[Outro]
