As recorded by Status Quo (From the 1969 Album SPARE PARTS) [Verse 1]
D
He is in his room, men will be there soon

G                                    D
They come to smash the heaven he has known

D
Now he's sure to know soon that he must go

G                                       D
This backstreet dream he has to leave behind

F           Bb    B          E
Oh, what a shame, oh what a shame

[Verse 2]
D
Things are at their worst, what should he do first?

G                               D
He must wonder, no one wants to know

D
He must spread his wings, pack away his things

  G                               D
A sack is all he needs for all he owns

F                     Bb   B                E
Tears they blind his eyes, tears blind his eyes
