Becoming More Like Alfie

INTRO: 
Am      A4      Am      Am(9)       
 
Am  A4  F7M/G   
Once there was a  
Am  A4  F7M/G 
time,   When my  
Am/F# A4/F# F7M  Em  
mind  lay on   higher things 

{as above} 

And once there was a time 

I could find pretty words to sing 

But now, well now I find 

It saves time to say what you mean 

I know it seems so unrefined 

but it's time to let off some steam  

Oh come on! 
F         D7/F#      Am       Em 
Everybody knows that No means Yes 
        F        D7/F#                 Dm7/G G 
Just like glasses come free on the N. H. S. 
        F      D7/F#               Am          Em 
But the more I look through them the more I see 
      F      G(6)      C 
I'm becoming more like Alfie  

Once there was a time 

When a kind word could be enough 

And once there was a time 

I could blindfold myself with love 

But not now - now I'm resigned 

To the kind of life I had reserved 

For other guys less smart than I 

Y'know - the kind who will always end up with the girls  

And besides 

Everybody knows that No means Yes 

Just like glasses come free on the N.H.S. 

But the more I look through them the more I see 

I'm becoming more like Alfie  

Oh come on!
