E I shout all my obscenities from steeples but please don't label me a madman E I'm off to see the Bootleg Beatles as the bootleg Mark Chapman. B7 Cafe bars, idiots and pigeons - there's far too many in this town A So me and ombudsman are gonna do what we can E x2) When the evening sun goes down. E Yes some of my pullovers are roll-necked, it kind of breaks up the ennui E But your experimental side project must have put ten years on me. B7 Opposite the Bannister & Shamrock - which used to be the Rose & Crown A I like to play Pat Boone on the county bassoon C# When the evening sun goes dow-ow-ow-own E When the evening sun goes down, get on down. E When the evening sun, when the evening sun, when the evening sun goes down E When the evening sun, when the evening sun, when the evening sun goes down.
There are questions in corners of my mind that lurk E When the evening sun goes down Like how do the road gritters get to work? E When the evening sun goes down Answer me that and you could win a cruise E When the evening sun goes down Here's Judy Tzuke to take us up to the news E When the evening sun goes down. B7 Are these my ultimate pyjamas; is this my final dressing gown? A I'm sending on this rhyme deep in injury time E When the evening sun goes down, when the evening sun goes down, E When the evening sun goes down.
