    Passports and Parkas,   Mobiles and chargers
Dm                C      Em           D
   Two tennis rackets,      Blue Rizla packets

   A new sheep-skin jacket, I lost it


Chorus:
Em             Esus2            Ddim
All through my life there have been
       A                 C
Many rare and precious things
        B             Em
I have tried to call mine
      Esus         Ddim
But I just cannot seem
          A         C
To keep hold of anything
      B               Em
For more than a short time
  Esus            Ddim    A      C
Possessions of a sentimental kind
            B                A    A7
They were mine, now they're not

Verse:
Dm             C       Em         D
  Gym-kits and trainers,   asthma inhalers (Lost, blown like seeds on the wind)
Dm                C    Em                  D
  Silk-cuts and Bennies,  ten-packs and twenties (Everything lost, tossed like ships on the ocean)
Dm                C  Em         D
  C-class narcotics,    antibiotics (And dashed on the rocks,  hiding just out of reach)
Dm                C
  The holes in my pockets,  I lost it

Chorus:
Em           Esus       Ddim
All that I'd like is to know
       A                        C
Just where do those lost things go?
           B            Em
When they slip from my hands
         Esus2        Ddim
Then one night in a dream
            A                  C
I passed through a sheepskin screen
       B                 Em
To a green and pleasant land
    Esus  Ddim  A                     C
I found them    all piled up into the sky
         B
And I cried tears of
