Verse 1:

D F C G Bacon fried, squinty-eyed, moments of the dawn D F C G Misty street calling me, "Get dressed and walk around" E F G In the square, standing there girl so sad A "What's the matter"? She said
tabchorus
D A G D "Oh, oh dear sir, the world has got me down D A G D And folks preach happiness when there's none to be found D A G D I type and answer phones to earn my meager pay D A G D To keep me alive so I can waste another day"
tab

Post-Chorus

D C#m Bm A I sadly turned and walked away D C#m Bm A G For there was nothing I could say

Verse 2:

D F C G Walking on, noonday sun, dusty road to town D F C G Saddened by the girl that I had chanced to come upon E F Then, I'd seen a limousine G A A rich old guy, mean of eye. He said
tabchorus
D A G D "Oh, bah humbug, you can't understand D A G D The world is one big bank, you must steal what you can D A G D Because it's fools like you who waste their precious time D A G D By walking in the sun instead of trying to make a dime"

Post-Chorus

D C#m Bm A The words he spoke turned my world grey D C#m Bm A Could everybody feel this way? D C#m Bm A As if in answer down the road D C#m Bm A A lovely girl picked flowers of gold Bb C F She smiled sweetly and gave one to me and said
tabchorus
F C Bb F "Please, kind sir, don't look so down F C Bb F For in this hard world love still abounds F C Bb F And hand in hand friends of beauty can lie F C Bb F A On clover beds 'neath a blanket of sky"
