album: Bona Drag
Intro: F#m, A
F#m B
Off the rails I was and
Off the rails
F#m
I was happy to stay
E
GET OUT OF MY WAY
F#m, A, F#m, A
F#m B
On the rack I was
F#m
Easy meat, and a reasonably good buy
E
A reasonably good buy
F#m, A
F#m E
The Piccadilly palare
B
Was just silly slang
F#m A F#m
Between me and the boys in my gang
E B
"So Bona to Vada. OH YOU
F#m
Your lovely eek and
A
Your lovely riah"
F#m, A (x4)
F#m B
We plied an ancient trade
Where we threw all life's
F#m
Instructions away
E
Exchanging lies and digs (my way)
F#m, A (x2)
F#m B
Cause in a belted coat
Oh, I secretly knew
B E
That I hadn't a clue
(No, no. No, no, no. You can't get there that way. Follow me...)
F#m E
The Piccadilly palare
B
Was just silly slang
F#m A F#m
Between me and the boys in my gang
E
Exchanging palare
B
You wouldn't understand
F#m A
Good sons like you
NEVER DO.
E, B, F#m, A (x2)
F#m, A (x4)
F#m E
So why do you smile
A
When you think about Earl's Court ?
E
But you cry when you think of all
A F#m
The battles you've fought (and lost) ?
F#m E
It may all end tomorrow
B F#m
Or it could go on forever
A E
In which case I'm doomed
B F#m
It could go on forever
A
In which case I'm doomed
E, B, F#m, A (repeat to infinite)
