Laughs and jokes
C F
And drinks and smokes
C F
And no lights on the stairs
Am
We were young, so young
C F
And always broke
G Am F
Not that we ever cared
C G C
Not that we ever cared
G F
Well, the holes in the walls
C G
Were such a lot
F C
Welcome to London town
G F
But when you’re new to it all
C
And you think you’re hot
G F C
You’re not planning on hanging around
C F
People would go on their different ways
C Am F
I left to start a band
G F C G
A note came through the letter box
F C
In your childlike hand
Am
Oh, laughs and jokes
C F
And drinks and smokes
C F
And no lights on the stairs
Am
We were young, so young
C F
And always broke
G Am F
Not that we ever cared
C G C
Not that we ever cared
G F C
One day I rode to where you were
G F C
The doorbell jangled a note
G F
They buzzed me in
C
I climbed the stairs
G F C
In my boots and leather coat
C
There’s an old brass
F
Standing there at the top
C Am F
Without her witch’s broom
G F C
It almost seemed like a knocking shop
G F C
When the girls came out of their rooms
G F
And they all stood around
C
And stared at me
G F C G
Two brunettes and a blonde
F C
Then the old brass shrugged and said
G F C C
We don’t know where she’s gone
F
Later on I picked up the ball
C Am F
And I took off down the line
G F C
I suppose by then I’d realised
G F C
You’d run into hard times
Am
Oh, laughs and jokes
C F
And drinks and smokes
C F
And no lights on the stairs
Am
We were young, so young
C F
And always broke
G Am F
Not that we ever cared
C/G G C
Not that we ever cared
