Chords with lyrics

Intro:

C majorC E MajorE FF D7D7 G+G   C majorC E MajorE FF D7D7 G+G

    C majorC
In the room with the sloping roof
E MajorE
In your director’s chair
  FF
You talk with your hands
   D7D7      G+G
About what you will do next year.


  C majorC
But no-one gives a toss
    E MajorE
And we all go to Europe
   FF
Watch Alwin Schockemöhle
   D7D7    G+G
Where’er he competes.

 FF  Bb majorBb  FF  Bb majorBb
Doreen,  Doreen
 FF  Bb majorBb  FF  Bb majorBb
Doreen,  Doreen.


  C majorC          E MajorE
The recreation ground by us

Don’t seem to have
 FF
Many facilities
    D7D7      G+G
For the kids and the dogs.


   C majorC
I submitted a poem
    E MajorE
To the council chambers
     FF
But they just looked surprised
     D7D7     G+G
Like the front of an Anglia.


     C majorC         E MajorE
There are no dark corners of cool relief
    FF        D7D7  G+G
It’s a tragedy with few interludes.

 FF  Bb majorBb  FF  Bb majorBb
Doreen,  Doreen
 FF  Bb majorBb  FF  Bb majorBb
Doreen,  Doreen.


Instrumental:

C majorC E MajorE FF D7D7 G+G (repeat x4)

  C majorC
The five-day breaks
     E MajorE
And the long weekends
    FF
Give me plenty of time
      D7D7    G+G
To see the everyday things.


   C majorC
I was faintly amused to see
E MajorE
Dutch veterans Alquin
FF
Fooling around
      D7D7    G+G
On pleasure craft at Chester.


C majorC
Walking up Scafell
E MajorE
Swinging a chain
 FF
Along came a hosteller
 D7D7      G+G
I asked him his name.


    C majorC
When he said he was Malcolm
  E MajorE
Of Arimathea
  FF
My rejoinder was “Die,
       D7D7   G+G
You off-beat cabaret type.”


 FF  Bb majorBb  FF  Bb majorBb
Doreen,  Doreen
 FF  Bb majorBb  FF  Bb majorBb
Doreen,  Doreen.


Instrumental:

Doreen,  Doreen
