G Em
D C G
G Em The family circle gathers round from very far and near D C G To pass around the same remarks they passed away last year G Em The little girl you dangeled on your knee without mishap D C G Stirs something in your memory and something in your lap Am Em The juniper berry has a very deadly kiss Bb Dm D I would say that something here is very much in this G Em But it?s a living and this is the life D C G For the world and his wife D C#7 F#m The world and his wife Am Em The kissing cousins step outside to cuddle and confess Bb Dm D She says sweet nothing at all it?s much more of a mess G Em She says our mother and someone else?s father D C G Went for two weeks holiday in Taramasalata G Em Daddy went out with the rubbish and he kept on walking D C G Between mum and the walls - god only knows who does the takling Am Em The juniper berry has a very deadly kiss Bb Dm D I would say that something here is very much in this G Em But it?s a living and this is the life D C G For the world and his wife D C#7 F#m The world and his wife Am Em The conversation melts like chocolate down our open jaws Bb Dm D Through the loud appeal of laughter and the counting of score draws G Em But later on in the evening through the tears and fol de rol D C G Come the sentimental feelings for the lure of vitriol G Em Longing thoughts go hankering for the old home overseas D C G With a blindfold and a national anthem sung in diferent keys Am Em The juniper berry has a very deadly kiss Bb Dm D I would say that something here is very much in this G Em But it?s a living and this is the life D C G For the world and his wife D C G The world and his wife F C G The world and his wife
