- Difficulty: Beginner 👶
Key: C
🎸 Verse 1:
G Bm Em
We gather for the picture, my five mates and me
G Em G C
Like dapper little devils, we are young and free
Em Bm G C
And I sit in the centre - the captain of the crew
G Em D C
My coat is an old 'un but my shirt is almost new
🎸 Chorus 1:
Em Bm G C
And I sing ta-ra to Tooting and the lads I leave behind
G Em G C
For the train waits in the station and it's time for me to ride
D G C
But I'll take this tiny picture so wherever I may be
G D Em Em D C
There'll be Jim and Jack and Ernie
Norman
Les, and me
🎸 Verse 2:
G Bm Em
And as we lеft the city and the grey land turnеd to green
G Em G C
I thought about those young lads and the things we'd done and seen
Em Bm G C
When we fought for the right to ramble the countryside all through
G Em D C
When the fences were all old 'uns but the land was almost new
🎸 Chorus 2:
Em Bm G C
And I sing ta-ra to Tooting and the lads I leave behind
G Em G C
And when we came to Newhaven there was one thing on my mind
D G C
But I'll take this tiny picture so wherever I may be
G D Em Em D C
There'll be Jim and Jack and Ernie
Norman
Les, and me
🎸 Verse 3:
G Bm Em
As night fell on the channel and the wind sang on the sea
G Em G C
I thought about those young lads and the times they sang with me
Em Bm G C
When our tongues told of freedom and every note rang true
G Em D C
And though our tunes were all old 'uns our words were almost new
🎸 Chorus 3:
Em Bm G C
And I sing ta-ra to Tooting and the lads I leave behind
G Em G C
As morning broke on Dieppe and the sun began to shine
D G C
But I'll take this tiny picture so wherever I may be
G D Em Em D C
There'll be Jim and Jack and Ernie
Norman
Les, and me
🎸 Verse 4:
G Bm Em
When the picture's almost faded, when the memory's almost gone
G Em G C
Will I sit then and wonder how we ever were so young?
Em Bm G C
Will there be young lads somewhere whose hearts are just as true?
G Em D C
When our old world has faded will theirs be almost new?
Final 🎸 Chorus:
Em Bm G C
Then I'll cry ta-ra to Tooting and the lads I left behind
G Em G C
80 years before me or 80 years behind
D G C
And when all that's left's a picture when-ever that may be
G D Em Em D C
There'll be Jim and Jack and Ernie
Norman
Les, and me
