D G Teary eyes at the window, Where did Mum and Dad go? D Em7 I wish someone would hurry up and come and get me, Gee I'm scared D A7 D The cat shot through, She saw the light and fled.style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'> D G D Cracker night was a real big deal, when I was a little kid Em7 A7 They started lettin' them off after tea I ran inside and hid D A7 D And all the dogs from everywhere were underneath me bed. D G D We all went down in our dressing gowns to see the big bonfire Em7 A7 Wide eyes watched the straw man burn on a milehigh pile of tyres D A7 D Hot as hell, big black smell and red hot rings of wire. A7 D Sky rockets zinging, Catherine wheels spinning, A7 D What a flamin' evening, Fire trucks were screaming A7 Smoky haze hangin' round for days D And Grandma's ears were ringing. D G D Everynight after school draggin' bits of wood, Boxes and branches D Em7 A7 and rotten old fences, And mattresses were good. D A7 D We even scrounged a vinyl lounge And anything we could D G D Little Guy Fawkes's and letter boxes Blown all out of shape Em7 A7 Light the wick and back off quick, And make the big escape D A7 D Cackin ourselves and rippin' my shirt Scrambling through the gate A7 D Sky rockets zinging, Catherine wheels spinning, A7 D What a flamin' evening, Fire trucks were screaming A7 Smoky haze hangin' round for days D And Grandma's ears were ringing. D G D A house burnt down on the edge of town We all took off with Pa Em7 A7 This thing whizzed across the road And nearly hit our car D A7 D A bang and spark lit up the park And everyone went Ah! Ah! Ah! D G D Cracker night was a real big deal, When I was a little kid, Em7 A7 It seems like only yesterday Tucked away in bed D A7 D Dreams of schemes and double bunger Daring things we did.
