[F#m]I walk a[Bm7]long the strand
[C#]to catch the [D] late ride [E] home.[C#]
[F#m]Shuttle through the [Bm7]evening gloom
[C#]knowing I for[D]got to [E]phone.[C#]

(Intro once) with "Toad in the hole"

[F#m]Kicking through the [Bm7]wet leaves lying
[C#]all along the [D]station [E]road. [C#]
[F#m]Past tired gra[Bm7]ffiti wailing,
[C#]raw emotion [D]to un[E]load. [C#]
[Dm]There's coal in the [Gm]fireplace
[Dm] and money in the bank [Gm]too.
[Dm]Deep-pile [C]carpets, [Bb]tinsel wall paper. 
[Gm]Still got the back[F]room to do.

[G]Don't be [F]late.  [G]Got a days work be[F]hind me.
[G]Feel a little deva[Am]stated but my [Bb]nights are a[C]ssigned to
you.[Dm    Gm]  [Dm]Toad in the  [Gm]Hole.

[D#m]Toad in the Hole,   [D#m]Toad in the Hole. 


[F#m]No tomcat [Bm7]creeping now
[C#]could ever [D]be so [E]bold [C#] to
[F#m]hang around our [Bm7]place at night
[C#]when I come in [D]from the [E]cold. [C#]
[Dm]There's a straight-six in the [Gm]garage
[Dm] and some fine wine to [Gm]cool.
[Dm]Labour [C]savers [Bb]in the kitchen,
[Gm]room in the garden [F]for a pool.


[G]Shush your [F]mouth.
[G]Let imagin[F]ation run. 
[G] Here in bed-sit [Am]heaven
[Bb] where all the best [C]wishing's done to warm
[Dm]Toad in the  [Gm]Hole. 
Toad in the Hole.
[Gm]Toad in the Hole.
[Gm]Toad in the Hole.
