   E minorEm
  His family taught him right from wrong



  With local tales and children's songs

  A minorAm
  Sunday school was his shelter


  D MajorD
  With his friends Joe and Walter


  E minorEm
  Now those days seem far away



  An empty swing where he once played


  A minorAm
  Now Bill's grown so fat and bold


  D MajorD

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


  E minorEm
  His sales job it gets him down



  Same old faces, same old sounds


  A minorAm
  Heart attacks, orthopaedic backs


  D MajorD
  Documents and labelled racks


  E minorEm
  His wife can't stand the sight of him



  With his routine glass of gin


  A minorAm
  She makes his lunch of processed ham


   D MajorD
  And waits in for the meter man

  E minorEm
  Another day, another gin



  His kids don't even notice him


  A minorAm
  Something different about his face


  D MajorD
  His happy smile seems out of place


  E minorEm
  His family gathered round for tea



  Eyes fixed on their new telly


  C majorC
  A augmentedA news flash came, then it said


  D MajorD
