Roy Harper - Watford Gap chords
Start Jamming...
Oh, [E] Harry, you're so [D] gross.
Alright, here we go, ready?
One,
[F]
one, two, [E] one, two, three, [D] four.
You know something, Vinnie?
Just about a mile from [G] where the motorways all merge,
You [A] can view the National Edifice,
A monumental [D] slurge.
It's the lonesome traveler's wrath,
Death or [E] bacteria's revenge.
[A] The great plastic spectacular descent of [D] Stonehenge.
And the people come to worship [E] on their death-defying wheels,
[A] Fancy-dust the shovels for their death [D]-defying meal.
What for gab, what for gab,
A plate of grease and a load of crap?
What for gab, what for gab,
A plate of grease and a load of crap?
One a.m. on Sunday, you [E] can hear the boys declare
[A] That the other team were fair as a rat was [D] fair to stare.
This chopper-runnin' fan club on their weekly pilgrimage
[A] Sticked the hero's boot in all the way from [D] Stanford Bridge.
And without a solid concrete burger, no night is complete.
[A] Plastic cups of used bathwater wash away [D] defeat.
What for gab, what for gab,
A plate of grease and a load of crap?
What for gab, what for gab,
A plate of grease and a load of crap?
The traffic jam is rattling [G] like five-mile corner snake.
[A] The human piece has fallen off and is steaming [D] in its wake.
The city's like a ghoulie in a [E] group whose stagnant woe.
[A] The Yeti Junction's target and the vinegar [D] strokes will do.
The countryside is rubbish like a sympathetic whore.
[A] Yodeling up the canyon is the dirty [D] old blue boy.
What for gab, what for gab,
A plate of grease and a load of crap?
What for gab, what for gab,
A plate of [A] grease and a load of [D] crap?
What for gab, what for gab,
A plate of grease and a load of crap?
What for gab, what for gab,
A plate of grease and a load of crap?
What for gab, what for gab,
A plate of grease and a load of crap?
What for gab,
[D] what for gab,
A plate of grease and a load of crap?
What for gab, what for gab,
A plate of grease and a load of crap?
[A] A plate of grease and [Dm] a load of crap?
