Now I'm a young inventor, a chap with good ideas,
G7                  C          D7                G7
I've built myself a camera, it took me years and years.

It can take a picture in the dark and can even see through bricks.
  E7               Am        E7                Am

And I've got some lovely pictures of the local girls and  chaps.

And I've never had a better snap before, in my little snapshot   album.
    Am                     Em
The night was dark and the hour was late,
        F            G7        C  G7  C
She was kissing her boy by the garden gate,
Dm        A7   Dm  C7  F  E7   Am     D7            G7      C
Wouldn't she  love to see page eight, in my little snapshot album.

He's over eighty but a real bad lad, in my little snapshot  album
    Am           Em
Although he's an old antique,
   F            G7        C  G7  C
He thinks he's still the village sheik,
 Dm      A7   Dm  C7  F    E7 Am    D7           G7       C
I've got him dancing cheek to cheek in my little snapshot album.

Chasing the Curate with a carving knife in my little snapshot   album.
    Am              Em
Now what he did was all in fun
       F         G7      C     G7      C
But it's not the kind of thing that's done,
      Dm  A7 Dm      C7  F    E7   Am   D7           G7       C

        Am             Em
There's Uncle Dick without a care,
    F              C  G7  C
Discarding all his un-der-wear,
        Dm    A7   Dm   C7    F    E7 Am     D7           G7       C
But his watch and chain still dangles there, in my little snapshot album!
