Half Man Half Biscuit – Goodbye Sam Hello Samaritans (Guitar)

      E                    A
I saw Badly Drawn Boy in a badly parked car

       B                  E
With a badly grazed elbow; what can you do?

     E                      A
On a badly lit street I was badly in debt

B                  E
Badly in need of a goal at Field Mill.

A           B                                E    E
 Four draws, there’s always someone lets you down

A           B                        E     B7
 Four draws, if only you were still around.

    E                       A
I eschewed a fine walk over hills inspired

   B                                         E
To stay at home and fret about the about the sadness of the times

  E                          A
I used to get a thrill and I fancy would still

     B                    E
If I caught our lamp-post coming out to play.

        A                   B               E    E
But the pavement’s dark now, keeping energy down

    A                         B             E    B7
The ever present threat of misfortune is in town.

         E                          A
I’ve got nothing left now ‘cept for gossip and vice

     B                         E
I’ve had me tongue tied to the pillory twice

E                       A
Oh to be a mouse on the floor of the granary

B                       E
 Instead of living next door to the tannery.

A                      B                    E
 In someone else’s song this would be a bad dream

        A         N.C.                            E    B7
And I’d wake up now           in the groves of Academe.

E           A        B         E           A        B
Goodbye Sam, hello Samaritans, goodbye Sam, hello Samaritans

E           A        B         E   F B7
Goodbye Sam, hello Samaritans.

E           A        B         E           A        B
Goodbye Sam, hello Samaritans, goodbye Sam, hello Samaritans

E           A        B         E   F B7
Goodbye Sam, hello Samaritans.
