Intro
C-Cadd9-C-Cadd9-C-Cadd9-C-D-C--D----
Em7 C
O how my great liberal heart labours,
Am D C
With the piss in my rivers and gall,
G C
Before the gleaming ceremonial sabres,
A7 D C
Who falls on them falls for us all...
Am C
Every night I pick the locks
G C
On that white Victorian box,
Am C
Every night I pick the locks and the gaolers say...
C-Cadd9-C-Cadd9-C-Cadd9-C-D----
Em7 C
Some nights when I look through her window,
Am D C
And she seems an old lover to me,
G C
There peeling off her black nylon knee highs
A7 D C
And yielding her breast to the sea...
Am C
Every night I pick the locks
G C
On that white Victorian box,
Am C
Every night I pick the locks
G C
On that white Victorian box,
F Am
But there's nobody home in her telephone bones.
Am--C--G--C--Am--C--G--C--F--Am--
C-Cadd9-C-Cadd9-C-Cadd9-C-D-C--D----
Em7 C
I've kissed the green gem of the east coast,
Am D C
drunk the tropical fizz of the north,
G C
Played the far flung sand castles ate at by the Indian,
A7 D C
Froze in the broken off port,
G C
To my blue collar sprawl out the blue stony wall,
Am D C
Where the weather don't bother and the sea don't recall,
G C
Sometimes it's a dead man as wide as he's tall
A7 D C
by a blue blooded matron, and under her shawl
Am C
Every night I pick the locks
G C
On that white Victorian box,
Am C
Every night I pick the locks
G C
On that white Victorian box,
F
I find buttons and bones,
Am G F
tiny soldiers, toy trains and murder...
Am C
Every night I pick the locks
G C
On that white Victorian box,
Am C
Every night I pick the locks
C-Cadd9-C-Cadd9-C-Cadd9-C-D-C--D~
and the ladies scream "Vain!!"
