[Intro]
A A7/G Dsus2/F# E x3
[Verse 1]
A A7/G Dsus2/F# Ever seen a blind man cross the road E Esus4 E A A7/G Dsus2/F# E Trying to make the other side? A A7/G Dsus2/F# Ever seen a young girl growing old E Esus4 E A A7/G Dsus2/F# E Trying to make herself a bride?
[Chorus 1]
F#m E A So what becomes of you my love B7 When they have finally stripped you of D The handbags and the gladrags E Esus4 E A A7/G Dsus2/F# That your grandad had to sweat so you could buy? E A A7/G Dsus2/F# E Baby
[Verse 2]
A A7/G Dsus2/F# Once I was a young man E Esus4 E A A7/G Dsus2/F# E And all I thought I had to do was smile A A7/G Dsus2/F# You are still a young girl E Esus4 E A A7/G Dsus2/F# E And you bought everything in style
Listen
[Chorus 2]
F#m E But once you think you're in, you're out A B7 'Cause you don't mean a single thing without D The handbags and the gladrags E Esus4 E A A7/G Dsus2/F# That your grandad had to sweat so you could buy E A E A E Ooh
[Bridge]
A A7/G Dsus2/F# Sing a song of six-pence for your sake E A A7/G Dsus2/F# E And take a bottle full of rye A A7/G Dsus2/F# Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake E A A7/G Dsus2/F# E And bake them all in a pie
[Chorus 3]
F#m E They told me you missed school today A B7 So what I suggest you just throw them all away D The handbags and the gladrags E A Dsus2/F# That your poor old granddad had to sweat to buy A Dsus2/F# Oh, woah
[Outro]
F#m E They told me you missed school today A B7 So I suggest you just throw them all away D The handbags and the gladrags E A A7/G Dsus2/F# E A A7/G Dsus2/F# E That your poor old granddad had to sweat to buy ya, baby A A7/G Dsus2/F# E A A7/G Dsus2/F# E A Bye, bye
