Guitar chords with lyrics
- Difficulty: Advanced 🤯
Key: A 🎸 Verse 1: A E F#m F#m/G# A D/B I'm going on the circuit I'm doing all the clubs Bm A/C# D Esus4 E A/G D/F# E And I really need a song boys to stir those workers up A E F#m F#m/G# A D/B And get their wives to sing it with me just like in the pubs Bm A/C# D D/B Esus4 D/E When I worked the good old pubs in Stepney
🎸 Verse 2:
A E F#m F#m/G# A D/B
Oh could you knock a line or two together for a friend
Bm A/C# D Esus4 E A/G D/F# E
Sentimental tear inducing with a happy end
A E F#m F#m/G# A D/B
And we need a tune to open our season at Southend
Bm A/C# D Esus4 E G C/E Cm/Eb C/E
Caaaaaaaan you help us
🎸 Chorus:
F C/G G
It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers
C Am Amb5 Am F
So much to prove, so few to tell you why
C/G G
Those old die-hards in Denmark Street start laughing
C G/B G/A Am Amb5 Am Dm
At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes
C/E
It seems to me a change is really needed
F C/G Cm/F# C/G F
I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das
C/G G
No more long days hacking hunks of garbage
C E(add9) E7
Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars
A E F#m F#m/G# A D/B A
I like the warm blue flame, the hazy heat it brings
Bm A/C# D Esus4 E A/G D/F#
It loosens up the mu---scles and forces you to sing
Bm A/C# D Esus4 E A/G D/F# E
You know it's just another hit and run from the tin pan alley twins
A E F#m F#m/G# A D/B A
And there's a chance that one day you might write a standard lads
Bm A/C# D Esus4 E A/G D/F# E
So churn them o---ut quick and fast and we'll still pat your backs
A E F#m F#m/G# A D/B A
'Cause we need what we can get to launch another dozen acts
Bm A/C# D D/B Esus4 E G C/E Cm/Eb C/E
A---------re you wor---king Published:
