G C My heart is a-pounding within my breast, G D Ah know the first line, forgot all the rest, G C A memory like mine is a hell of a pest, D G Shit, I've forgotten the words. C G On a packet of fags I'd written them down, D G Threw them away as I drove into town, G C Now I feel a bit of a clown, D G 'cos shit, I've forgotten the words. G C The last time I sang them they went down a treat, G D Dogs were a-howling out on the street, G C And I spilt my beer all over my feet, D G 'cos shit, I've forgotten the words.
C G On a packet of fags I'd written them down, D G Threw them away as I drove into town, G C Now I feel a bit of a clown, D G 'cos shit, I've forgotten the words. G C Sometimes they come back line by line as I sing, G D Tonight I can't seem to remember a thing, G C Ian McCalman will know, I'll give him a ring, D G Oh shit, I've forgotten his number. C G On a packet of fags I'd written them down, D G Threw them away as I drove into town, G C Now I feel a bit of a clown, D G 'cos shit, I've forgotten the words. G C So come all you singers, practice your verse, G D If you do not, you surely will curse, G C But I remembered the tune so it could have been worse, D G Next time I'll remember the words. C G On a packet of fags I'd written them down, D G Threw them away as I drove into town, G C Now I feel a bit of a clown, D G 'cos shit, I've forgotten the words.
