When I Was A Lad Ukulele by Tom Oconnor

Chords with lyrics

🎸 Verse 1:
C           C
Rows of back to back house
G7          G7
Covered in dirt and grime
G7            G7
Children playing in the street
C             C
And washing hanging on the line


🎸 Verse 2:
C                C
Scarfs tuck down inside your jersey
G7           G7
To keep you from the cold
G7             G7
I used to wear a wolly balaclava
C            C C7
When I was nine years old
🎸 Chorus:
       F            F
When i was a lad, neighbours were neighbours
        C         C
When I was a lad, doing you favours
G7                    C   C7
People giving people a hand no matter how small
       F         F
When I was a lad, corduroy breeches
        C         C
When I was a lad,saturday pictures
        G7                 C
When I was a lad those were the greatest days of all


🎸 Verse 3:
 C            C
School from monday and fridays
  G7        G7
Learn to read and write
  G7             G7
Granddad sitting on the doors step
  C      C
In the fading light

C                C
Tin bath hanging on a six inch nail

Lavi at the bottom of the backyard

Sit with foot against the door

People giving people a hand no matter how small

When I was a lad those were the greatest days of all
