It was a strange thing to do, 
  Am          E         Am       
I hope we can still be friends. 
        C 
Ah, it was not me,

        C 
I don't give advise, 
      F               C 
But be wise and think twice, 
      Am           E         Am 
Before getting involved in a game.

Where the minority 
            F   C 
Face the majority 
          Am         E             Am 
Who are faceless and born without names.

Was it knock synch when 
        F             C 
we came across three men, 
        Am              E              Am 
They had church candles wrapped in newspaper. 
          C 
I bought two from them,

And I'll lit one for you, 
           Am                E           Am 
I hope the message made it's way down the wire.

he's alive and not gone 
       Am            E      Am 
To the farm like the others said.

A Rhodesian richback, 
        F      C 
Off the beaten track, 
        Am     E                Am 
In a furniture shop down on the quays. 
        C 
For the lonliness you foster, 
     F         C 
I suggest Paul Oster, 
   Am         E     Am 
A book called Timbuktu.

Drunken sailor boy dance.

The taxi.

Her phone is ringing straight to 
    C     G 
Message-minder.

Find her.

Swans through a te-elescope.

I can't help from cryin' 
   F            C 
I wish you were mine. 


      C  
When I was seventeen, 
  F           C 
I followed my dream, 
   Am      E        Am 
Up into a high-rise block. 
        C  
The adventures of Augie March,

By Saul Bel-low, 
     Am           E    Am 
Was all I had for company. 
   C 
At night time I'd lie 
   F          C 
In Beckingham pike, 
     Am         E    Am 
With tears like flashbulbs. 
      C 
And recall my treasure- 
F         C 
Searching days, 
       Am         E    Am 
In the rock pools as a kid.

To the remains of 
    F      C 
The cherub plains, 
    Am            E                Am 
Or around the bonfire in Nailors’ cove. 
     C 
Good company and grief 
      F         C 
Sit like a dock leaf, 
     Am        E       Am    
Sits beside a stinging nett-le.

Put a penny in the slot and make an 
E                F     C 
artificial li-ii-iight shine,

Leave go-ooo. My golden arm
