Song: Missing you
[Intro]
Dm
F C G Dm
Oh I'm missing you
F C Am
I'd give all for the price of the flight
F C G Dm
Oh I'm missing you
F C G
Under Piccadilly's neon
[Verse 1]
Dm G Am
In nineteen hundred and eighty six
Dm
There's not much for a chippie or swinging the pick
Dm G Am
And you can't live on love and on love alone
Dm
So you sail cross the ocean, away cross the foam
[Verse 2]
Dm G Am
To where you're a Paddy, you're a Biddy, your a Mick
Dm
Good for nothing but stacking the brick
Dm G Am
And your best mate's a spade and he carries a hod
Dm
Two work horses heavily shod
[Chorus]
F C G Dm
Oh I'm missing you
F C Am
I'd give all for the price of the flight
F C G Dm
Oh I'm missing you
F C G
Under Piccadilly's neon
[Verse 3]
Dm G Am
Who did you murder, or are you a spy?
Dm
I'm fond of a drink helps me laugh, helps me cry
Dm G Am
Now I just drink red biddy for a permanent high
Dm
And I laugh a lot less and I'll cry till I die
[Chorus]
F C G Dm
Oh I'm missing you
F C Am
I'd give all for the price of the flight
F C G Dm
Oh I'm missing you
F C G
Under Piccadilly's neon
[Verse 4]
Dm G Am
All you young people now take my advice
Dm
Before crossing the ocean you'd better think twice
Dm G Am
Cause you can't live without love, without love alone
Dm
And the proof's around London in the nobody zone
[Verse 5]
Dm G Am
Where the summer is fine, but the winter's a fridge
Dm
Wrapped up in old cardboard under Charing Cross Bridge
Dm G Am
And I'll never go home now because of the shame
Dm
Of the misfit's reflection in a shop window pane
[Chorus] x2
F C G Dm
Oh I'm missing you
F C Am
I'd give all for the price of the flight
F C G Dm
Oh I'm missing you
F C G
Under Piccadilly's neon
[Outro]
G Dm
I'm missing you, I'm missing you, I'm missing you
