[Intro] E G#m A B E G#m A B E G#m A B E G#m A B [Verse 1]
D                      A
the high street shops are boarded up

        Bm            A      G  G6 G
an' the terrace it is fenced in

D                   A
see-through shields are walled across

    Bm           A    G  G6 G
the way that you came in

            D              A
but there's no need to get excited

       Bm                  A   G  G6 G
as the lorries bring the bacon in

         D                  A
'cos the housewives are all singing

       Bm        G    A E
groovy times are here again
[Verse 2]
     D                    A
they discovered one black saturday

     Bm               A    G  G6 G
that mobs don't march they run

D                        A
so you can excuse the nervous triggerman

          Bm               A   G  G6 G
just this once for jumping the gun

        D                A
as they were picking up the dead

    Bm        A   G    G6 G
out of the broken glass

         D               A        
yes it's number one, the radio said

       Bm         G    A  E
groovy times have come to pass!
[Chorus]
E  G#m A  B      E G#m  A   B       E G#m A    B

F#m E B A [Instrumental] D A Bm A G [Verse 3]
D                A
the intake is on the uptake

    Bm             A      G   G6 G
the acceleration's pretty grim

D                  A
i can remember his first appearance

    Bm                   A  G  G6 G
now look what's happened to him

        D            A
so they put him in a dog suit

     Bm                  G   G6 G
like from nineteen sixty four

    D             A
the king of early evening ITV

       Bm    G  A    E
groovy times forever more
