Verse 1:
N.C. (tab)
I can think of nowhere
I would rather be
Reading morning papers
Drinking morning tea

Chorus:
    G
She clutches the tray
                             D
And then we talk just like a kitchen sink play
        A#                F
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
G
Living so close to danger
D
Even your friends are strangers
A#                          F
Don't count upon their company

Verse 2:
N.C. (tab)
This is for the fingers
This is for the nails
Hidden in the kitchen
Right behind the scales

Chorus:
G
What do I care
                           D
I'm wasting fingers like I had them to spare
         A#                 F
Plugging holes in the Zuiderzee
G
Punishing Paul for Peter
D
Don't ever trust those meters
A#                           F
What you believe is what you see

Organ solo:
G D C   x4

Bridge:
      G                D                C
In my town, there is a raincoat under a tree
       G               D                    C
In the sky, there is a cloud containing the sea
       G               D                 C
In the sea, there is a whale without any eyes
       G               D                    C
In the whale, there is a man without his raincoat

Verse 3:
N.C. (tab)
In another country
With another name
Maybe things are different
Maybe they're the same

Solo:
G D A# F  x2

Chorus 2:
G
Back on the trail
                            D
The seven soldiers read the papers and mail
        A#               F
But the news, it doesn't change
G
Swinging about through creepers
D
Parachutes caught on steeples
A#                          F
Heroes are born, but heroes die
G
Just a few days
                           D
A little practice and some holiday pay
          A#                   F
We're all sure you'll make the grade
G
Mother of God, if you care
D
We're on a train to nowhere
A#                          F
Please put a cross upon our eyes

Outro:
G
Take me
                          D
I'm nearly ready, you can take me
       A#              F
To the raincoat in the sky
G
Take me
                        D
My little pastry mother take me
          A#              F
There's a pie shop in the sky

G D A# F
(fade)
