The
[Am] [Dm] distant echo [A] of faraway [G] voices,
Bought in faraway trains to [A] take them home to,
The ones that they love [F] and who [G] love them forever.
[Am] The [D] grey stilted steps [Am] repeat my [E] own and reflect my [G] thoughts,
[Am] Cold [D] and [A] uninviting, partially naked,
It's [G] so far off [Bm] the top of your head, but it's not as small as it [C] might be.
Mr [D] Jones got run [G] down, headlights are deaf and [Bm] so,
They turn around and find a madman on the right [A] page,
[G] And I'm down in a [D] ditch, they say I'm in the head.
[C] [Am]
I fumble [D] for change, [A] without the queen,
[G] I smile and be darling, I [A] put in the money,
And pull out a plum, [G] behind me.
[Am] Whispers in the [A] shadows, like birds in voices,
[G] Hates you, waiting, [Am] for your boy to [Am] exit out,
Have you [A] got any money?
And I [G] say, I've a little [Bm] money and I take the white carriage,
I'm on my way [D] home to my wife,
[G] She'll be lining up [Bm] a cup to re-announce,
[C] They expect to meet, I'll have she in a glass,
She said, pulling [G] out the cord,
I'm down in a ditch, they [D] say I'm in the head.
[C] [E] [Am]
First [D] felt a fist, [Am] and then a grip,
Could [G] not smell their breath,
[A] the [D] smell of [Am] pubs,
And one would scrub, on [G] too many white weekends,
[Am] [D] My life swam around [A] me, it took a look and drowned [G] me,
And it's all in existence, [A] the smell of brown leather,
Even in the middle of the weather,
My [G] eyes is not a [Bm] mouth, it's love, so much that's as [C] good,
Speak [D] it aloud, [G] I'm down in a ditch, [D] they say I'm in the head.
[C]
[D] [G] I was down in [D] a ditch, they say I'm in the head.
[B] [G]
[G] Last night I saw them [Bm] lying there on the floor,
[C] Jesus said, fight it fast, [D] like the earth is nothing,
And [G] I'll produce wealth, plus a [B] ring,
Have I no way of dying, [C] a cheap holiday,
[D] A three to three, [G] I'm the top of my [Bm] line,
I'm the top of my [C] line, they say,
The kings, [D] chill, because me,
[G] I'm down in a ditch, they [B] say I'm in the head.
[C] The wine will be back, [D] time will come, it's gone cold,
[G] I'm down in a ditch, they [Bm] say I'm in the head.
[C]
[D] [G] I'm down in a ditch, [B] they say I'm in the head.
[C]
[D] [G] I'm down in a ditch, [Bm] they say I'm in the [C] head.
[D] [G] In a ditch, [B] they say I'm in the head.
