Chords

[Intro] F F7 F F7 F F7 F F7 [Verse 1]
  F
I heard you walking down our street

  Dm
Emphatic boots on massive feet

  Bb            Gm                C7
Instinctively I knew what would ensue:

    F                A
I‘d have to strap on my guitar

    Dm              A
And tell the people near and far

     Bb                  C7              F     C7
“I’d like to swerve the Checkatrade with you”.
[Chorus]
F                         Dm
 Swerving the Checkatrade, swerving the Checkatrade

Bb            Gm               C7
 Swerving the Checkatrade with you

   F               A
My heart is like a hand grenade

   Dm                   Bb
My head feels like it’s been waylaid

Gm            C7               F    C7
 Swerving the Checkatrade with you.
[Verse 2]
    F
I’d followed you for half a mile

    Dm
And in what seemed like quite a while

  Bb             Gm               C7
I found a way in which to tell it true:

      F              A
Oh, I like a pint, I like a brawl

  Dm               A
I like a scone but most of all

    Bb                 C7               F    C7
I’d like to swerve the Checkatrade with you.
[Chorus]
     F                         Dm
Yeah, swerving the Checkatrade, swerving the Checkatrade

Bb         Gm              C7
 So we may get to bill and coo

    F                  A
I’d weighed up all the pro’s and con’s

   Dm                Bb
Of watching th’under twenty-ones

Gm            C7               F    C7
 Swerving the Checkatrade with you.
[Outro]
    F            A
Oh, let me gaze upon your curves

  Dm               Bb
Instead of Ipswich Town reserves

Gm            C7               F    A
 Swerving the Checkatrade with you……

Gm            C7               F    A
 Swerving the Checkatrade with you……

Gm            C7               F
 Swerving the Checkatrade with you.
