Chords for Chris Wood.My Darling's Downsized

[Eb] Why can't we have a love song, eh?
The grumpy old gits
Who've been round the block
Two or three times
And who are still smitten
So _ this one's called
My Darling's Downsized
_ _ _ _ I don't know if there's any semi-retired here
_ Just before the credit crunch down south
There were loads of people who were semi-retired
Who aren't now _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ There's some horticultural terms in it, this one
A _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] waste of time in Islington
Bet you'll get them
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ From _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Monday to Wednesday
It's business as usual
So [Ab] what's so unusual
About [Eb] my sweet dear
She's altered, she's different
She's just so spectacular
She's what we [Ab] got wed for
She's [Eb] keen and she's clear _
[Ab] Because Henrietta
Has [Eb] just had the good sense
[Ab] To write them a letter
In [Eb] which they're advised That Henrietta
Has made a decision
And from this [Ab] day forward
My [Eb] darling's downsized
_ _ Just last Wednesday evening
She kicks off her work shoes
I pour [Ab] her a large one
And I [Eb] tell you no lies
She swigs and she shimmies
And looks to the [Ab] bedroom
And then she looks at me
With those great big blue beautiful _ [Eb] Downsized eyes
_ [Ab] Now the sun in the morning
Somehow [Eb] seems brighter
[Ab] Oh and everything's righter
[Eb] Than it was [Bb] [Eb] before
The coffee is richer
The eggs over easier
The breeze is [Ab] just breezier
And there's [Eb] cuddles galore _ _
_ _ _ She bakes us some rock cakes
I lay us a fire
I light the [Ab] touch paper
Oh [Eb] but I don't retire
Because my love for her
Cannot be overstated
It's deep and it's not
Final salary related [Ab] Because Henrietta
[Eb] Has just had the good sense
[Ab] To write them a letter
[Eb] In which they're advised
_ That Henrietta
Has made her decision
And from [Ab] this day forward
[Eb] My darling's downsized
The allotment society
Application she's made
She's put her name [Ab] forward
And [Eb] she's bought me a space
And when old farmer summertime
Raises his head
We'll be up [Ab] there to prepare
Our [Eb] celeriac _ bed
[Ab] I'll dig us a trench
Then I'll join [Eb] her in sitting
[Ab] Up close on the bench
And we'll watch the [Eb] spuds [Bb] cheating
[Eb] _ Then I'll pinch out some carrots
She'll squish [Ab] some black flies
And she'll look up in with those
Great big blue beautiful [Eb] Downsized eyes
Because [Ab] _ Henrietta
Has [Eb] just had the good sense
[Ab] To write them a letter
[Eb] In [Bb] which they're [Eb] advised That Henrietta
Has made her decision
And from [Ab] this day forward
[Eb] _ [Bb] My [Eb] darling's downsized
My life, _ [Ab] my friend and my companion
My _ _ _ _ darling's _ [Eb] _ downsized
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _
