🎸 Verse 1:
N.C.
There’s an empty seat on the train today that makes its way up to the town

There a letter found on an office desk that’s finally handed round

It says Julian Sidebottom William Smyth has finally come to his senses

He’s tired of commuting tired of computing tired of sitting on fences


🎸 Chorus:
      G+G              B minorBm
He really needs some help he wants to find himself
    D MajorD           A augmentedA
And he says that money don’t matter
      G+G         B minorBm
And there’s more to life than doing what’s right
      B minorBm A augmentedA  D MajorD        G+G  A augmentedA
He’s going down down down Success’s ladder
      B minorBm A augmentedA  D MajorD        G+G  A augmentedA
He’s going down down down Success’s ladder

      D MajorD                       G+G           D MajorD
And he’s downsized and analysed his last bottom line no longer will he be hard hearted
   D MajorD                           G+G        D MajorD
He’s going to paint pictures of the Isle of Skye until the undersigned is departed

    D MajorD                      G+G                   D MajorD
And to brighten his wall he hung pictures sometimes one of them the Isle of Skye strangely unsigned
