Chords

Bm                         G
Alone and pointless by her mouldering self

    D                       Em
She stares at the tin of sardines on the shelf

     Bm                 F#
By a paraffin lamp in a dingy brown room

     G                                 D
Gran sits and broods in the thickening gloom

       F#                           Bm
It's a gloom that congeals; it's so greasy and thick

          G                   D
You could cut into strips and roast on a stick

    Em                                D
And hand round to friends but there's nobody there

     Bm           F#
Just Gran, on her own, in a miserable chair

F#
So don't point it at me

            Bm
Point it at Gran

                       G
She needs it more than I do

                       F#
And more than Princess Anne

                            Em
When Princess Anne's eighty-two

                                 D
And living in a one room flat in Hackney

                F#
Maybe she could do with a bit as well

F#
Don't point it at me

                      D
Don't point it at yourself

                 Em
Just point it at Gran

                        F#
And the sardines on the shelf

                  G
Don't point it at me

                    D
I've had more than enough

                 F#
Just point it at Gran
She could do with plenty of stuff
F#
Don't point it at me

            Bm
Point it at Gran

                    G
Well, it could be a firehose

                 F#
Or it could be a flan

                    Em
Now some people are happy

                    D
And some people are bored

                    F#
And some people are left
And completely ignored
   G                    Bm       F#
So why should your life end on a dismal note?
