Verse 1
G+G             A minorAm
She wanted her face to be famous
                G+G
She dragged it off down to the smoke
                  C majorC
Where she went on a show where they turn dreams to gold
G+G       D MajorD      G+G
And give real people false hope

Verse 2
G+G             A minorAm
She needed the comfort she needed the cheer
                G+G
Her children had all flown the nest
             C majorC
She desperately wanted to change her career
    G+G       D MajorD      G+G
To the thing that she felt she did best

Chorus
G+G          C majorC
Giving real hope to false people
G+G            D MajorD
Telling the world it can sing

False hope to real folk
    G+G      D MajorD      G+G
You can sing you can sing you can sing

Verse 3
G+G               A minorAm
He worked in a shop where they hated his guts
             G+G
Lived in a house just the same
            C majorC
And all that he ever requested in life
    G+G       D MajorD     G+G
Was no swear word prefix in his name

Verse 4
G+G           A minorAm
He wanted the glory he wanted the fame
             G+G
In limelight he wanted to soak
               C majorC
So he saved up the money and boarded the train
       G+G      D MajorD      G+G
To where they give plastic people real hope

Chorus
G+G          C majorC
Giving real hope to false people

Telling the world it can sing
G+G       C majorC
False hope to real folk
    G+G      D MajorD      G+G
You can sing you can sing you can sing

   A minorAm            G+G
Take heed if your dreams are a staring
   A minorAm           G+G
Dreamboat can end up on the rocks
   A minorAm              G+G     E minorEm
That road paved with gold is just one block away
     D MajorD           G+G
From the rear end of Top Of The Pops
     D MajorD           G+G
From the rear end of Top Of The Pops
    A minorAm          G+G
If you want it don't tell us about it
  A minorAm            G+G
And if you don't get it don't cry
   A minorAm         G+G      E minorEm
Just do as they say and follow your dreams

A augmentedA fool is a weight of a fly
 D MajorD           G+G
A augmentedA fool is a weight of a fly

You can sing you can sing you can sing
