Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro chords:

E F#m

Verse 1:


D                            E
Mr Briggs is on holiday, but he stays in his room
C                Bm             E
It´s too cold to go out for his evening smoke
    D                        E
The lady down the hallway is deaf and daft to what you say
C              Bm               E
She´s too busy dreaming of a Chihuahua dog

Chorus:
        Cm
Say goodbye
     D             A
Then slowly drift away
   E                 D
To somewhe ? e ? e ? ere

F#m  Cm   Bm
Oo ? oo ? ooh (?2)


Verse 2:
D                               E
Mr Briggs needs sleep now; he´s been up for a week
C              Bm                  E
He can hear a buzz, buzz, buzzing in his head
    D                          E
He has a three-bar heater, but it don´t keep him warm
C              Bm               E
If he bought another, then he´d have three more

(repeat chorus)

Solo:

D ? ? ? E ? ? ? C ? Bm ? E ???

D                               E
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
C       Bm      E
La, la, la, la, la, la


Verse 3:
D                            E
Mr Briggs, while on holiday, never left his bed
C                Bm           E
Walked around in circles, but only in his head
D                            E
The lady down the hallway is running out of pills
C                 Bm                     E
She could pull herself together, but she knows she never will

(repeat chorus; end with solo)
