(ver. 1)
George Formby
C               G7                                    C
Every year when summer comes round, off to the sea I go.
E7                Am                D7                G7
I don't care if I do spend a pound, I'm rather rash I know. 
C7                  F               D7                 G7
See me dressed like all the sports, in my blazer and a pair of shorts.
G7      C                               G7                    C
With my little stick of Blackpool Rock, along the promenade I stroll.
   C      Ebdim        G                    D7                          G7
It may be sticky but I never complain, it's nice to have a nibble at it now and again.
C7            F                D7                G7
Every day wherever I stray the kids all round me flock.

    C7                           F
One afternoon the band conductor up on his stand
D7                               G7     Dbdim  G7
Somehow lost his baton - it flew out of  his  hand
   C                                  E7        Am
So I jumped in his place and then conducted the band
        D7              G7        C
With my little stick of Blackpool Rock

G7      C                               G7                    C
With my little stick of Blackpool Rock, Along the promenade I stroll, 
C     Ebdim         G                   D7                                   G7
In my pocket it got stuck I could tell, cos when I pulled it out I pulled my shirt off as well
C7            F                D7                G7
Every day wherever I stray the kids all round me flock.

  C7                                 F
A girl while bathing clung to me, my wits I'd to use
    D7                                     G7  Dbdim    G7
She cried, "I'm drowning, and to save me, you  won't refuse"
  C                                     E7            Am
I said, "Well if you're drowning then I don't want to lose
   D7              G7        C
My little stick of Blackpool Rock."

G7      C                               G7                    C
With my little stick of Blackpool Rock, along the promenade I stroll
C      Ebdim           G
In the ballroom I went dancing each night,
   D7                                     G7
no wonder every girl that danced with me, stuck to me tight
C7            F                D7                G7
Every day wherever I stray the kids all round me flock.

  C7                           F
A fellow took my photograph it cost one and three.
  D7                                   G7  Dbdim G7
I said when it was done, "Is that supposed to be me?"
        C                              E7          Am
"You've properly mucked it up the only thing I can see is
   D7              G7        C
My little stick of Blackpool Rock."
