Chords with lyrics

G+G           C majorC
In this sumptuous hacienda
    G+G                   D MajorD
Where I weigh things up as they’re on the way down
    G+G               C majorC
From beneath your Reverend Jim Jones bedspread
      G+G        D MajorD        G+G
I watch the angels look down onto your sweet brow.
              C majorC
If God had meant for us to work
G+G                  D MajorD
Then I’m sure he would have given us jobs
  G+G                   C majorC
Six weeks to live but at least I’m not in Journey
G+G      D MajorD   C majorC G+G    G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G (x4)
Sign on you crazy diamond.
G+G    C majorC     D MajorD    G+G
I didn’t take much time convincing her
     C majorC    D MajorD    G+G
Baby I’m from the Wirral peninsula
      C majorC      D MajorD     G+G
A augmentedA merciless despot with nothing to lose
   C majorC    D MajorD    G+G    G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD (x2)
In my Dick Quax running shoes.
G+G       C majorC      D MajorD    G+G
Underneath the shade of the average tree
         C majorC    D MajorD  G+G
Where they handed out mediocrity
        C majorC    D MajorD     G+G
I saw you with ‘Alchemy’ under your arm
        C majorC      D MajorD  G+G
Standing in the middle of a long queue.

(instr. G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G (x4), A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE C, B minorBm F#F# (x4))
B minorBm         F#F#   B minorBm       F#F#
I saw the Goodyear airship sail over your head
B minorBm        F#F#    B minorBm      F#F#
I saw the joke I told you fly over your head
B minorBm           F#F#           B minorBm   F#F#
Why don’t they have any badminton courts in the jungle?
B minorBm            F#F#  B minorBm             F#F#  C majorC D MajorD G+G (x4)
Because there isn’t the demand, oh let me take you by the hand.
    G+G              C majorC
Sturmey-Archer Campagnolo, Sturmey-Archer Campagnolo
    G+G              C majorC
Sturmey-Archer Campagnolo, Sturmey-Archer Campagnolo
    G+G              C majorC
Sturmey-Archer Campagnolo, Sturmey-Archer Campagnolo
    G+G       D MajorD  D7D7  G+G   G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G (x8)
