[Verse 1]
E A E D A
Did you see his name in the local paper
E A D E
Stole a tin of beans from a cut-priced grocery store?
D A
The judge said, "He must pay"
D A D E* E* E*
So, he put him on probation and the paper gave his name

[Verse 2]
A E D A
Did you see his name in the criminal section
E A D E
And the center page gave his name and his address

They stopped him doing it again
D A D E* E* E*
So, they put him to dishonour and put the man to shame
E7* E7* E7* E/C#* E/C#* E/C#* E/B* E/B* E/B*
[Chorus]

He lost his little job

His employer was absolved of blame

His world just crumbled down
[Verse 3]

Incidently, did you see his name in the obiturary column
E A
Letters edged in black

Life was much too hard to live

So, he brought it to an end

In his gas-filled maisonette
D E* E* E*
Because he couldn't stand the strain
E7* E7* E7* E/C#* E/C#* E/C#* E/B* E/B* E/B*

La la la la la, La la la la la la, La la la la la,

Life was much too hard to live

In his gas-filled maisonette

Because he couldn't stand the strain
