[Intro]

[Verse]
A E F#m A I'm going on the circuit, I'm doing all the clubs Bm A E Asus4/G D/F# And I really need a song boys to stir those workers up A E F#m A And get their wives to sing it with me just like in the pubs Bm C#m D Bm E D/E When I worked the good old pubs in Stepney
[Verse 2]
A E F#m A Oh could you knock a line or two together for a friend Bm C#m D E Asus4/G D/F# Sentimental tear inducing with a happy end A E F#m A And we need a tune to open our season at Southend Bm A D Bm E G Em D Em F Ca_________n you help us
[Chorus]
F G It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers C Am So much to prove, so few to tell you why F G Those old die-hards in Denmark Street start laughing C Am At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes Dm Em It seems to me a change is really needed F G Em D Em I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das F G No more long days hacking hunks of garbage C E/G# A Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
A E F#m A I like the warm blue flame, the hazy heat it brings Bm C#m D E Asus4/G D/F# It loosens up the muscles and forces you to sing Bm C#m D E Asus4/G D/F# You know it's just another hit and run from the tin pan alley twins A E F#m A And there's a chance that one day, you might write a standard lads Bm C#m D E Asus4/G D/F# So churn them out quick and fast and we'll still pat your backs A E F#m A `Cause we need what we can get to launch another dozen acts Bm A D Bm E G Em D Em Oooo______hhh Are you working
[Chorus 2]
F G It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers C Am So much to prove, so few to tell you why F G Those old die-hards in Denmark Street start laughing C Am At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes Dm Em It seems to me a change is really needed F C G Em D Em I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das F C G No more long days hacking hunks of garbage C E/G# Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars
[Chorus 3]
F G C It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers Am So much to prove, so few to tell you why F G Those old die-hards in Denmark Street start laughing C Am At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes Dm Em It seems to me a change is really needed F C G Em D Em I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das F G No more long days hacking hunks of garbage C E/G# Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars
