UNCLE ARTHUR
D MajorD
Strikes the bell for five o'clock, Uncle Arthur closes shop,
D MajorD
screws the tops on all the bottles, turns the lights out, locks it up.
D MajorD
Climbs across his bike and he's away-
A augmentedA
cycles past the gas works, past the river, down the high street,
D#D#
back to mother. It's another empty day.
A augmentedA
Uncle Arthur- likes his mummy- Uncle Arthur- still reads comics-
A augmentedA
Uncle Arthur- follows Bat-man-.
D MajorD
Round and round the rumours fly, how he ran away from mum,
D MajorD
on his thirty-second birthday, told her that he'd found a chum.
D MajorD
Mother cried and raved and yelled and fussed-
A augmentedA
Arthur left her no illusion brought the girl round, save confusion,
D#D#
Sally was the real thing not just lust.
A augmentedA
Uncle Arthur- vanished quickly- Uncle Arthur- and his new bride-
A augmentedA
Uncle Arthur- follows Sally-.
E MajorE
Round and round goes Arthur's head, hasn't eaten well for days,
E MajorE
little Sally may be lovely, but cooking leaves her in a maze.
E MajorE
Uncle Arthur packed his bags and fled.
A augmentedA
Back to mother, all's forgiven serving in the family shop, he gets
F-
his pocket money, he's well fed.
BB
Uncle Arthur- passed the gas works- Uncle Arthur- passed the river-
