A Lilac Harry Quinn chords by Half Man Half Biscuit

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

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