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

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

Chorus
G                   C
Giving real hope to false people
G                        D
Telling the world it can sing
G             C
False hope to real folk
        G            D            G
You can sing you can sing you can sing

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

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

Chorus
G                   C
Giving real hope to false people
G                        D
Telling the world it can sing
G             C
False hope to real folk
        G            D            G
You can sing you can sing you can sing

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

Chorus
G                   C
Giving real hope to false people
G                        D
Telling the world it can sing
G             C
False hope to real folk
        G            D            G
You can sing you can sing you can sing

Chorus
G                   C
Giving real hope to false people
G                        D
Telling the world it can sing
G             C
False hope to real folk
        G            D            G
You can sing you can sing you can sing
