Intro: Gm7 Verse 1: Cm7 There was a time, now very far away Gm7 When we set up together, I and she Cm7 I had the brains, and she supplied the breast B G I did her right, and she supported me Cm G A way of life then, if not quite the best Pre-Chorus 1: G And when a client came I'd climb out of our bed Am7 And treat him nice, and go and have a drink instead
When he paid up I would address him: "Sir
G
Come any time you feel you fancy her."
Chorus:
C Cm7 G
That time's gone past, but what would I not give
Eb D7 Gm
To see that whorehouse where we used to live?
Verse 2:
Cm7
That was the time, now very far away
Gm7
He was so sweet he bashed me where it hurt
Cm7
And when the cash ran out the feathers really flew
B G
He'd up and say, "I'm going to pawn your skirt"
Cm G
A skirt is nice, but no skirt is OK too
Pre-Chorus 2:
G
He had his cheek, he kept me locked away all day
Am7
But came the night he brought acquaintances to play
If I'd object he'd knock me headlong down the stairs
G
I had the bruises off and on for years
Chorus:
C Cm7 G
That time's gone past, but what would I not give
Eb D7 Gm7
To see that whorehouse where we used to live?
Verse 3:
Cm7
That was a time now very far away
Gm7
Not that our state seems much improved today
Cm7
When afternoons were all I had for you
B G
I told you she was generally booked up
Cm G
(The night's more normal, but daytime will do)
Pre-Chorus 3:
G
Once I was pregnant, so the doctor said
Am7
So we reversed positions on the bed
You thought your weight would make it premature
G
But in the end we flushed it down the sewer
Chorus:
C
That could not last
Cm7 G
But what would I not give
Eb D7 Gm7
To see that whorehouse where we used to live?
