_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ [G#] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ He painted sulphur smokey [Am] tops on cardboard boxes from the shops
And [A] parts of Angcote where I [Dm] used to play _ I'm sure he once walked down our [C] street
Cos he painted kids who hadn't out on [G] the street
The clothes they wore had all [C] seen better days
[F] [Am] Now _ [Dm] _
_ [G] _ [C] they said his works of art were dull [Am] No room, oh lad, the walls are full
[A] But Lowry didn't care much [Dm] anyway
They said he just paints cats and dogs [C] And match-stock men in boots and [G] clogs
And Lowry said that's just the way [C] they'll stay
[G] And he [C] painted match-stock men And match-stock cats [Dm] and dogs
He [G] painted kids on the corner of the street that were [C] sparking clogs
Now he takes his brush and he waits [Dm] Outside them factory gates
To [G] paint his match-stock men And match-stock [C] cats and dogs
_ Now canvas and brush he's wearing [Am] thin When London started calling him
To come on down and wear the [Dm] old flat cap
_ They said tell us all about your [C] ways And all about them sulphur [G] days
Is it true you're just an [C] ordinary chap?
[G] And he [C] painted match-stock men And match-stock [Dm] cats and dogs
He [G] painted kids on the corner of the street that were [C] sparking clogs
_ Now he takes his brush and he waits [Dm]
Outside them factory gates
To [G] paint his match-stock men And match-stock [C] cats and dogs
_ Now Lowry's hung upon the [Am] wall Beside the greatest of them [Em] all
And even the Mona Lisa [Dm] takes a bow
_ This tired old man with hair like [C] snow Told northern folk it's time to [G] go
The fever came and the good Lord [C] mopped his brow
[G] And [C] he left his match-stock men And match-stock [Dm] cats and dogs
He [G] left his kids on the corner of the street that were [C] sparking clogs
_ Now he takes his brush and he waits [Dm]
Outside them pearly gates
To [G] paint his match-stock men And match-stock [C] cats and dogs
[C#m] And he [D] left his match-stock men And match-stock [Em] cats and dogs
He [A] left his kids on the corner of the street that were [D] sparking clogs
Now he takes his brush and he waits [Em] Outside them pearly gates
To [A] paint his match-stock men And match-stock [D] cats and dogs
_ And he left his match-stock men And match-stock [Em] cats and dogs
He left [A] his kids on the corner of the street that were [D] sparking clogs
Now he takes his brush and he waits [Em] Outside them pearly gates
To paint [A] his match-stock men And match-stock cats [D] and dogs
And he left his match-stock men And match-stock cats [Em] and dogs
_ He left [A] his kids on the corner of the street that [D] were _ _ _ _ sparking clogs
[Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
