[Cm]
[G] [Cm]
[Ab] [Cm]
[Eb] [Bb]
I feel [C] for you, your [Ab] little horror,
[Fm] safe at your [Bb] mother's breast.
[Eb] No looking [Ab] great for you around [Bb] the corner.
Your [Cm] father [Ab] is a bully, [Fm] and he thinks that you're [Bb] a pest.
[Ab] And your sister, [Eb] she's no better [Cm] than a whore.
[Fm] [Cm] Life [Ab] seems a rose in [Bb] a cradle, [Cm] but I'll be your friend, [Ab] I'll tell you what's [Bb] in store.
[Fm] There's nothing [Cm] at [Ab] the end of [Bb] the rainbow, [Cm] there's nothing [Bb] to [Ab] grow up on [Bb] anymore.
[Cm] Tycoons and barrow boys [Ab] will rob you [F] and throw you on the [Bb] side.
[Eb] And all because [Ab] they love [Bb] themselves sincerely.
And [Cm] the man who holds [Ab] a bread knife up to [F] your throat is [Bb] farfeted wine.
And [Ab] he's a curse just [Eb] to show you what [Cm] it's for.
[Fm] Your [Cm] mother [Ab] works so hard to make [Bb] you happy.
[Cm] But take a [Eb] look [Ab] outside the nursery [Bb] door.
[Fm] There's [Cm] nothing at [Ab] the end of the [Bb] rainbow, [Cm] there's nothing to [Ab] grow up on [Bb] anymore.
All [Cm] the sad and empty [Ab] faces [Fm] that pass you on [Bb] the street.
[Eb] All in an [Ab] endless sleep, [Bb] all in a dream.
[Cm] Every [Eb] loving [Ab] handshake [Fm] is just another man to [Bb] beat.
How [Ab] your heart aches [Eb] to cut him to [Cm] the core.
[Fm] Life [Cm] [Ab] seems a rose in [Bb] a cradle, but [Cm] I'll be your friend, [Ab] I'll tell you what's in [Bb] store.
[Fm] There's nothing [Ab] at the end of the [Bb] rainbow, [Cm] there's nothing to [Ab] grow up on [Bb] anymore.
