Intro: F    F7    F    F7    F    F7    F    F7 

verse 1 
  F 
I heard you walking down our street 
  Dm 
Emphatic boots on massive feet 
  Bb            Gm                C7 
Instinctively I knew what would ensue: 
    F 
I‘d have to strap on my guitar 
    Dm              A 
And tell the people near and far 
     Bb                  C7              F     C7 
“I’d like to swerve the Checkatrade with you”. 


F                         Dm 
 Swerving the Checkatrade, swerving the Checkatrade 
Bb            Gm               C7 
 Swerving the Checkatrade with you 
   F               A 
My heart is like a hand grenade 
   Dm                   Bb 
My head feels like it’s been waylaid 
Gm            C7               F    C7 
 Swerving the Checkatrade with you. 


verse 2 
    F 
I’d followed you for half a mile 
    Dm 
And in what seemed like quite a while 
  Bb             Gm               C7 
I found a way in which to tell it true: 
      F              A 
Oh, I like a pint, I like a brawl 
  Dm               A 
I like a scone but most of all 
    Bb                 C7               F    C7 
I’d like to swerve the Checkatrade with you. 


     F                         Dm 
Yeah, swerving the Checkatrade, swerving the Checkatrade 
Bb         Gm              C7 
 So we may get to bill and coo 
    F                  A 
I’d weighed up all the pro’s and con’s 
   Dm                Bb 
Of watching th’under twenty-ones 
Gm            C7               F    C7 
 Swerving the Checkatrade with you. 


Outro 
    F 
Oh, let me gaze upon your curves 
  Dm               Bb 
Instead of Ipswich Town reserves 
Gm            C7               F    A 
 Swerving the Checkatrade with you…… 
Gm            C7               F    A 
 Swerving the Checkatrade with you…… 
Gm            C7               F 
 Swerving the Checkatrade with you.
