A Lilac Harry Quinn

	  		G                     C 
In this sumptuous hacienda 
        G                                     D 
Where I weigh things up as they’re on the way down 
       G                             C 
From beneath your Reverend Jim Jones bedspread 
            G                D               G 
I watch the angels look down onto your sweet brow. 
                           C 
If God had meant for us to work 
G                                    D 
Then I’m sure he would have given us jobs 
    G                                     C 
Six weeks to live but at least I’m not in Journey 
G           D     C  G        G C D G (x4) 
Sign on you crazy diamond. 
G        C         D       G 
I didn’t take much time convincing her 
         C        D        G 
Baby I’m from the Wirral peninsula 
            C           D          G 
A merciless despot with nothing to lose 
      C        D        G        G C G D (x2) 
In my Dick Quax running shoes. 
G              C            D       G 
Underneath the shade of the average tree 
                  C       D   G 
Where they handed out mediocrity 
                C        D          G 
I saw you with ‘Alchemy’ under your arm 
                C           D    G 
Standing in the middle of a long queue. 

(instr. G C D G (x4), A D A E C, Bm F# (x4)) 
Bm                 F#      Bm             F# 
I saw the Goodyear airship sail over your head 
Bm               F#       Bm            F# 
I saw the joke I told you fly over your head 
Bm                      F#                      Bm     F# 
Why don’t they have any badminton courts in the jungle? 
Bm                        F#   Bm                         F#    C D G (x4) 
Because there isn’t the demand, oh let me take you by the hand. 
        G                           C 
Sturmey-Archer  Campagnolo, Sturmey-Archer  Campagnolo 
        G                           C 
Sturmey-Archer  Campagnolo, Sturmey-Archer  Campagnolo 
        G                           C  
Sturmey-Archer  Campagnolo, Sturmey-Archer  Campagnolo 
        G             D    D7    G      G C D G (x8) 
Sturmey-Archer  Campagnolo on my mind.
