Prelude (1/4)
Dm
[Intro]
Dm Dm F F G G Am Am (2x)
[Verse]
Dm Dm G Am Am
In nineteen hundred and eighty six
Am Am Am Dm Dm
There's not much for a chippie but swinging the pick
Dm Dm G Am Am
You can't live on love and on love alone
Am Am Am Dm Dm
So you sail cross the ocean, away cross the foam
[Interlude]
Dm (2x)
[Verse 2]
Dm Dm G Am Am
To where you're a Paddy, a Biddy or a Mick
Am Am Am Dm Dm
Good for nothing but stacking the brick
Dm Dm G Am Am
your best mate's a spade and he carries a hod
Am Am Am Dm Dm
Two work horses heavily shod
[Chorus]
F C G Dm F C Am Am
Oh I'm missing you, I'd give all for the price of a flight
F C G Dm F C G G
Oh I'm missing you, under Piccadilly's neon
[Bridge]
G (3x)
[Verse 3]
Dm Dm G Am Am
Who did you murder or are you a spy?
Am Am Am Dm Dm
I'm just fond of a drink helps me laugh, helps me cry
Dm Dm G Am Am
So I just drink red biddy for a permanent high
Am Am Am Dm Dm
And I laugh a lot less and I'll cry till I die
[Chorus]
F C G Dm F C Am Am
Oh I'm missing you, I'd give all for the price of a flight
F C G Dm F C G G
Oh I'm missing you, under Piccadilly's neon
[Bridge]
G (3x)
[Verse 4]
Dm Dm G Am Am
All you young people now take my advice
Am Am Am Dm Dm
Before crossing the ocean you'd better think twice
Dm Dm G Am Am
Cause you can't live without love, without love alone
Am Am Am Dm Dm
the proof's round Westend in the nobody zone
[Verse 5]
Dm Dm G Am Am
Where the summer is fine, but the winter's a fridge
Am Am Am Dm Dm
Wrapped up in old cardboard under Charing Cross Bridge
Dm Dm G Am Am
And I'll never go home now because of the shame
Am Am Am Dm Dm
Of misfit's reflection in a shop window pane
[Chorus]
F C G Dm F C Am Am
Oh I'm missing you, I'd give all for the price of a flight
F C G Dm F C G G
Oh I'm missing you, under Piccadilly's neon
[Inderlude]
G (6x)
[Chorus]
F C G Dm F C Am Am
Oh I'm missing you, I'd give all for the price of a flight
F C G Dm F C G G
Oh I'm missing you, under Piccadilly's neon
[Outro]
G (6x)
