Laughs and jokes
   C majorC     FF
And drinks and smokes
   C majorC            FF
And no lights on the stairs
     A minorAm
We were young, so young
  C majorC       FF
And always broke
   G+G      A minorAm  FF
Not that we ever cared
   C majorC  G+G   C majorC
Not that we ever cared


      G+G      FF
Well, the holes in the walls
   C majorC     G+G
Were such a lot
      FF      C majorC
Welcome to London town
         G+G    FF
But when you?re new to it all
     C majorC
And you think you?re hot
       G+G     FF       C majorC
You?re not planning on hanging around
 C majorC            FF
People would go on their different ways
  C majorC          A minorAm  FF
I left to start a band
  G+G      FF     C majorC     G+G
A augmentedA note came through the letter box
     FF    C majorC
In your childlike hand

   A minorAm
Oh, laughs and jokes
   C majorC     FF
And drinks and smokes
   C majorC         FF
And no lights on the stairs
     A minorAm
We were young, so young
  C majorC       FF
And always broke
   G+G      A minorAm  FF
Not that we ever cared
   C majorC  G+G   C majorC
Not that we ever cared


   G+G   FF    C majorC
One day I rode to where you were
   G+G    FF     C majorC
The doorbell jangled a note
   G+G      FF
They buzzed me in
  C majorC
I climbed the stairs
    G+G     FF      C majorC
In my boots and leather coat
      C majorC
There?s an old brass
        FF
Standing there at the top
  C majorC         A minorAm  FF
Without her witch?s broom
  G+G    FF       C majorC
It almost seemed like a knocking shop
     G+G     FF       C majorC
When the girls came out of their rooms


     G+G      FF
And they all stood around
   C majorC
And stared at me
   G+G    FF    C majorC   G+G
Two brunettes and a blonde
     FF      C majorC
Then the old brass shrugged and said
  G+G      FF     C majorC  C majorC
We don?t know where she?s gone
         FF
Later on I picked up the ball
    C majorC         A minorAm  FF
And I took off down the line
   G+G    FF    C majorC
I suppose by then I?d realised
    G+G   FF      C majorC
You?d run into hard times


   A minorAm
Oh, laughs and jokes
   C majorC     FF
And drinks and smokes
   C majorC         FF
And no lights on the stairs
     A minorAm
We were young, so young
  C majorC       FF
And always broke
   G+G      A minorAm  FF
Not that we ever cared
   C/GC/G G+G   C majorC
Not that we ever cared
