Chords with lyrics
Magdalene (My Regal Zonophone) (Brooker / Reid)
Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
C minorCm FF
Though I know the night has fallen
Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
and the sun's sailed out to sea
C minorCm FF
I will wait here for the band to play
Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
the trumpet voluntary
Eb7Eb7 AbAb
And with one foot on the seashore
F minorFm
and the other in the sand
Bb majorBb
I will stand here plaiting daisies
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
whilst you play the piano-grand
Caprice, your bugle blew away
the cobwebs from my ears
and for once I stood quite naked.
Unashamed, I wept the tears
which I tried to hide inside
myself from me, I mean from you
but the shame I found too painful
and the pain it only grew
papada
Magdalene, my Regal Zonophone
