[D] [Am] [Dm] [A]
[Dm] [A]
[D] Bacon fry, [F] squinty [C] eyed, moments [G] of the dawn
[D] Misty [F] street, calling [Dm] me, [C] get dressed and [G] walk around
[E] On the square, [F] standing [G] there, girl so [A] sad
What's the matter, [D] she said
[A] Oh, dear [Em] sir, the world [D] has got me bad on
At first [A]
we'd [G] shopping just [F] when there's [D] nothing to be found
I [A] tried banning him, also worth my meter pay
You keep me alive so I can waste another day
[Em] I [Dm] sadly turned and [A] walked away
Oh, [B] there was nothing [A] I could say
Walking [D]
[F] on, noonday [Dm] sun, [C] dusty, road [G] to town
[D] Saddened by [F] the girl that I [Dm] [C] had chanced to come [G] upon
[E] Then I'd seen [F] a limousine, [G] a rich old [A] guy
Mean old guy, he [D] said
[A] Oh, Bob, [G] if you [Bm] can't [D] understand the world is one [A] big bank
You [B] must steal what [D] you can because it's [A] fools like you
[G] Waste [D] their precious time by [A] walking in the sun [G] instead of trying to [D] make a dime
[A] The words he [G] spoke turned [A] my world grey
Could everybody feel this way
As if in answer to the road
I love me girl picked flowers of gold
She [Bb] smiled sweetly [C] and gave one to [F] me and [C] said
[Gm] I'm going [F] to throw her down
For in [C] this [Bb] heart you'll mostly [F] love fun
And hand [C] in hand with [F] the beauty can I
[C] Unclog her bed, [Bb] the [F] blackened old sky
[A] Oh, I [G] turned [Bm] and walked the sky
For [A] in this dirty sky [G] there [F] must be [D] a dumb guy
And [A] I'm glad I've forgotten [G] [D] my name
For [A] in this heart [G] you'll mostly [D] love [A]
[D]
fun
And hand in hand with the beauty can I
Unclog her bed, the blackened old sky
Oh, I turned and walked the sky
For in this dirty sky there must be a dumb guy
For in this dirty sky there must be a dumb guy
