Chords

(Difford/Tilbrook) From the studio album, Some Fantastic Place. [Intro] G [Verse 1]
      G
She’s screaming into his collar

C           G      Am
Beating him on the chest

     D
He’s showing her no emotion

      C                 G
Their love’s put to the test

   G
He thinks that he makes her happy

   C      G     Am
By simply being there

       D
As the silences get longer

    C                  G
The more she pulls her hair
[Chorus]
Em          G          A
Love can be damaged by silence

     C    G        D
Tied to a ball and chain

Em          G         A
Love can be driven to violence

     C         G         D
From what once seemed so tame

C           G           A
Wearing his dinner this evening

C           D      G
Jolly comes home a-gain
[Verse 2]
G
The mule’s sitting by the fire

    C        G       Am
The house at his con-trol

   D
He hops around the channels

    C               G
His eyes on film pa-trol

      G
She’s driven from her senses

    C       G      Am
Her mundane life e-rupts

    D
She leaps out of the sofa

    C              G
And jumps upon her love
[Chorus]
Em          G          A
Love can be damaged by silence

     C    G        D
Tied to a ball and chain

Em          G         A
Love can be driven to violence

     C         G         D
From what once seemed so tame

C           G           A
Wearing his dinner this evening

C           D      G
Jolly comes home a-gain
[Instrumental] G Em A C G D C G A C D [Verse 3]
    G
The room was all dark and quiet

   C           G       Am
In bed they're side by side

D
There in the small of her back

   C               G
An olive branch to-night
He wants to say that he’s sorry
    C        G        Am
She wants to make him beg

    D
For all the pain she’s suffered

   G                    C     D
In her heart and in her head
[Chorus]
Em          G          A
Love can be damaged by silence

     C    G        D
Tied to a ball and chain

Em          G         A
Love can be driven to violence

     C         G         D
From what once seemed so tame

C           G           A
Wearing his dinner this evening

C           D      G
Jolly comes home a-gain

C           G           A
Wearing his dinner this evening

C           D      G
Jolly comes home a-gain
[Outro]
C           G           A
Wearing his dinner this evening...

C           D      G
Jolly comes home a-gain
