* Intro  * 

Em
Take you to the cinema
D
and leave you in a Wimpy Bar,
C
you tell me that we've gone too 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.


* riff  *


Em
Buy a silver cloud to ride,
D
pack the tennis club inside,
C
trouser cuffs hung far too wide,
Am           D
well it was up to me.
Em
Tires down on your bicicle,
D
your nose feels like an icicle,
C
the yellow fingered smoky girl,
Am          D
is looking up to me.


* riff  *

                                                            Note(about this part):
Em    A7    Em      A7      Em                             | 
Well, I'm a common working man,                            | 
Em     A7     Em      A7        Em                         | 
with a half of bitter, bread and jam,                      |
Am9       A7      C       A7             C                 |
and if it pleases me I'll put one on you man,              | - I prefer to don't play the 6° string on the last 
Am9      A7     C     A7    C                              | chord of each line, since it sounds lower and 
when the copper fades away.                                | similiar to the original track.

C Em



* riff  *



Em
The rainy season comes to pass,
D
the day-glo pirate sinks at last,
C
and if I laughed a bit to fast
Am           D
well it was up to me.
Em
Take you to the cinema
D
and leave you in a Wimpy Bar,
C
you tell me that we've gone too far,
Am            D
come running up to me.
