Em
Take you to the cinema
      D
and leave you in a Wimpy Bar --
    C
you tell me that we've gone to far --
      Am           D
come running up to me.
Em
Make the scene at Cousin Jack's --
        D
leave him put the bottles back --
C
mends his glasses that I cracked --
      Am              D
well that's one up to me.

NEXT THE SAME
Buy a silver cloud to ride --
pack the tennis club inside --
trouser cuffs hung far too wide --
well it was up to me.
Tyres down on your bicicle --
your nose feels like an icicle --
the yellow fingered smoky girl
is looking up to me.

Em                A7       Em
Well I'm a common working man
Em       A7       Em      A7
with a half of bitter -- bread and jam
Am9            A7      C  A7              C
and if it pleases me I'll put one on you pan --
Am9          A7               C        Em
  when the copper fades away.

The rainy season comes to pass --
the day-glo pirate sinks at last --
and if I laughed a bit to fast.
Well it was up to me
