Hey now Tommy have you got a new shirt
           G+G   A augmentedA
is it's colour a fine bright blue
D MajorD
Has your mother sent you off to your school
     C majorC          D MajorD
from the street with a pretty view
D MajorD
Shall we wrestle in the old school yard
        G+G    A augmentedA
like the other children do
D MajorD
You can scuff your shoes,you can tear your hands
     C majorC         D MajorD
and I'll rip that shirt off you

D MajorD
Hey there Tommy since you moved away
                  G+G    A augmentedA
they've taken our town and they've made it new
D MajorD
Now there stands a chemical plant
     C majorC       D MajorD
Where the cherry orchard grew
D MajorD
And I married Lucy from the back of our class
        G+G     A augmentedA
who once wrote letters to you
D MajorD
And we've got kids and we send them to school
     C majorC          D MajorD
from the street with a pretty view

     A minorAm            G+G
from the fields where the flowers grow
    FF          C majorC
From a butterfly stick to a baton and a brick
     A minorAm        D MajorD
Changing uniforms far too soon

D MajorD
Hey there Tommy shall we meet again
          G+G  A augmentedA
in the morning wet with dew

Me at the gates of the colliery
        C majorC    D MajorD
And you in your shirt of blue
