End Of The Rainbow Chords

(ver. 1)
Richard Thompson
[Intro]
F (single note) Am/E Am/G Am F  F/C  C G

[Verse]
           Am              F
I feel for you, you little horror
     Dm               G
Safe at your mother's breast
   F     C         F              G
No lucky break for you around the corner
            Am          F
'Cause your father is a bully
       Dm                   G
And he thinks that you're a pest
         F/C   F        C      C/E     Am
And your sister she's no better than a whore.

[Chorus]
Dm   Am       F           G
Life seems so rosy in the cradle,
         Am   G           F                  G
But I'll be a friend I'll tell you what's in store
        Dm      Am     F          G
There's nothing at the end of the rainbow.
        Am      G       F         G
There's nothing to grow up for anymore

      Am                F
Tycoons and barrow boys will rob you
      Dm                G
And throw you on the side
     F   C               F          G
And all because they love themselves sincerely
       Am               F
And the man holds a bread knife
        Dm              G
Up to you throat it's four feet wide
        F/C    F       C       C/E        Am
And he's anxious just to show you what it's for.

Dm    Am           F               G
Your mother works so hard to make you happy
       Am      G        F          G
But take a look outside your nursery door
      Dm        Am      F           G
There's nothing at the end of the rainbow.
      Am        G      F          G
There's nothing to grow up for anymore

   Am           F
All the sad and empty faces
     Dm         G
That pass you in the street
    F    C              F          G
All running in their sleep, all in a dream
   Am         F
Every loving handshake
      Dm         G
Is just another man to beat
     F/C      F       C     C/E     Am
How your heart aches just to cut him to the core

Dm      Am        F       G
Life seems so rosy in the cradle
      Am           G          F            G
But I'll be a friend I'll tell you what's in store
      Dm        Am      F           G
There's nothing at the end of the rainbow.
      Am        G      F          G
There's nothing to grow up for anymore
