Syd Barrett Song - Words and music by Anthony Hill Intro: B, A, B, A Verse 1 B A B I was getting a taxi from the station B A B To the little town where I knew you were waiting B A B You were holding a little sign that you made with my name on B A B You smiled when you saw me and I seem to recall you were waving Bridge B A B As you looked my way and I saw your face A B A little tune in my head started to play A B A F# Chorus B A B A Bah ba-da ba ba-da bah ba-da da-da da doo-doo B A B A Doo do-do do do-do doo do-do do do do bah bah B A B A Bah ba-da ba ba-da bah ba-da da-da da doo-doo B A B A Doo do-do do do-do doo do-do do do do bah bah Verse 2 B A B I said “you look nice” in your denim skirt and leggings B A B You blushed and opened your mouth but I couldn’t hear what you were saying B A B ‘Cos all I could think was “these shoes aren’t waterproof and it’s raining” B A B Heavy, heavy, heavy but everything is fine! Bridge B A B As we walked hand in hand I felt my socks getting damp A B And that tune in my head going round and around and around A B A F# *Chorus* Verse 3 B A B I think of you everytime that I listen to Syd Barrett B A B I like you, I think you’re cute and now I’m all embarrassed B A B There must be a way for me to say those three little words B A B That I keep trying to say but I don’t want to sound like a fucking parrot Bridge B A B That’s when I listened to Syd and he told me what to do A B He said “you can’t go wrong if you write her a song” A B So I’ve written this one for you A B It won’t be the best you’ve heard A B It doesn’t have that many words A B But it’s got this tune, a little tune that gets in your head A B A F# Like the image of you in mine, like its stuck with glue - It’s kinda catchy! *Chorus* x 2
