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.

Make the scene at Cousin Jack's
leave him put the bottles back
mends his glasses that I cracked
well that's one up to me.

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
