A reasonably good buy

Your lovely riah"
F#m, A (x4)
F#m          B
    We plied an ancient trade
Where we threw all life's

Instructions away 

                E
Exchanging lies and digs (my way)

   Cause in a belted coat
Oh, I secretly knew

Good sons like you
NEVER DO. E, B, F#m, A (x2) F#m, A (x4)
F#m                  E
    So why do you smile 

                     A
When you think about Earl's Court ? 

         E                             
But you cry when you think of all 

      A                   F#m
The battles you've fought (and lost) ? 

F#m                         E 
    It may all end tomorrow 

       B                 F#m             
Or it could go on forever 

          A               E      
In which case I'm doomed 

   B                   F#m                        
It could go on forever

In which case I'm doomed
E, B, F#m, A (repeat to infinite)
