[Intro] G G G G G G G G [Verse 1]
G                 C                   G
Now that you know who has entered the pen

            C             G
I may never see you ever again

    D                   G
But I’ll still have the memory

         D                    G
Striding cocksure through the mist

              C        D       D7     G
Birmos in the cowshed; silkies on the wrist.
[Instr] G C G G D7 G C D D D7 [Verse 2]
G              C                  G
I like my rice pudding creamy and thick

                    C                  G
But cheap nostalgia tends to get on me wick

    D                 G
Yet bless these odd exceptions

  D              G
I find hard to resist

              C        D       D7     G
Birmos in the cowshed; silkies on the wrist.
[Instr] G C G G D7 G C D D D7 [Break]
Bm                                      C           G
Things ingrained invade all thoughts of fixing on today

Bm                           C              G
Out goes flu jab two-fifteen in comes Vale away

           Bm                          C                G
Beyond the next bend who knows what as comfort looks to flee

Bm                             C   C   D   D   D   D
Pictures in the distance still soothe.
[Verse 3]
G                     C                    G
Hook wrapped round my neck I’m leaving the pen

                 C             G
Seems I’ll never see you ever again

D                 G
Drifting with the morphine

D                G
Keeping with the tryst

              C        D       D7     G
Birmos in the cowshed; silkies on the wrist.
[Coda]
                C
Phantoms in the cowshed

G    D          D    D7 G
Silk scarf      on   my wrist.
[Outro] C G C Am D D7 G
