INTRO
RE RE7 SOL RE RE7 SOL
RE RE7 SOL RE
There's a young girl with her old man who's too sick to mention
RE RE7 SOL RE
She'll be turning twenty seven as she draws her widow's pension
RE RE7 SOL RE
But he couldn't catch a common cold he couldn't get arrested
RE RE7
Too terrified to answer back
SOL RE7
Too tired to have resisted
SOL DO
Many hands make light work
SOL
Shorthand makes life easy
DO
When he's out on night work
SOL
Make sure no one sees me
RE
It all ends up in a slanging match with body talk and bruises
LA7
A change is better than a rest
Silly beggars can't be choosers
CHORUS
SOL RE
One of a thousand pities you can't categorize
SOL LA SIm
There are ten commandments of love
SOL RE
When will you realise
There are ten commandments of love
LA SOL MIm MIm7
I believe, I trust, I promise, I wish love's just a throwaway kiss
RE
In this Pidgin English
If you're so wise use your lips and your eyes
DO
Take it to the bridge she sighs
RE RE7 SOL RE
You go cheep cheep cheep between bulls-eyes and bluster
RE RE7
Stiff as your poker face
SOL RE
Keener than mustard
RE RE7 SOL RE
From your own back yard to the land of exotica
RE RE7 SOL RE7
From the truth society to neurotic erotica
SOL DO
Silence is golden
SOL
Money talks diamonds and ermine
SOL DO
There's a word in Spanish
SOL
Italian and German
RE
In sign language, morse code, semaphore and gibberish
LA7
Have you forgotten how to say it
In your Pidgin English?
(chorus)
RE
PS I love you
(and so on . . . )
