Half Man Half Biscuit – Doreen (Guitar)

       C 
In the room with the sloping roof

E
In your director’s chair

    F
You talk with your hands

      D7            G
About what you will do next year.

    C       
But no-one gives a toss

       E
And we all go to Europe

      F
Watch Alwin Schockemöhle

      D7       G
Where’er he competes.

  F    Bb   F    Bb
Doreen,   Doreen

  F    Bb   F    Bb
Doreen,   Doreen.

    C                    E
The recreation ground by us

  F     
Many facilities

        D7           G
For the kids and the dogs.

     C
I submitted a poem

       E
To the council chambers

         F
But they just looked surprised

         D7          G
Like the front of an Anglia.

          C                  E
There are no dark corners of cool relief

       F                D7   G
It’s a tragedy with few interludes.

  F    Bb   F    Bb
Doreen,   Doreen

  F    Bb   F    Bb
Doreen,   Doreen.

    C 
The five-day breaks

         E
And the long weekends

        F
Give me plenty of time

           D7       G
To see the everyday things.

      C          
I was faintly amused to see

E
Dutch veterans Alquin

F
Fooling around

            D7       G
On pleasure craft at Chester.

C
Walking up Scafell

E
Swinging a chain

 F
Along came a hosteller

  D7            G
I asked him his name.

        C   
When he said he was Malcolm

   E
Of Arimathea

   F
My rejoinder was “Die,

             D7      G
You off-beat cabaret type.”

  F    Bb    F   Bb
Doreen,   Doreen

  F    Bb    F   Bb
Doreen,   Doreen.

  F    Bb   F    Bb
Doreen,   Doreen

  F    Bb   F    Bb
Doreen,   Doreen.     (repeat to fade)
