[Verse 1]
G A D - The gymnast, high above the ground, G A D - Limbers up and falls timber town G A D - Ankles splayed and all tied G Em D G - The gymnast long has arrived Em D G Lasy -- your long sister lays Em D G Waiting out this long light brigade Em D G Prayed for snow a long time Em D G And lazy -- it long has arrived
[Chorus]
G - Through the tarlatan holes C You've been slipping, been slipping away G - And the weather will hold C It's been ever, so ever, so gray
[Verse 2]
Em G And here as we're coming down C We're sounding out: Cm Em It's a terrible, terrible tide D G C As it lights upon your eye Em G C But there on the motorway, reeks of marmalade Cm Em It's a chemical, chemical kind G C As it lights upon your eye... Am C Lights upon your eye
[Bridge]
D G Em Bm The bosun -- calls upon the quay D G Em Bm Compass gone, he long has lost his way D G Em Bm To lighthouse shine, to calm tide D G Em Bm The bosun -- long has arrived
[Chorus]
G - Through the tarlatan holes C You've been slipping, been slipping away G - And the weather will hold C It's been ever, so ever, so gray
[Verse 3]
Em G And here as we're coming down C We're sounding out: Cm Em It's a terrible, terrible tide D G C As it lights upon your eye Em G C But there on the motorway, reeks of marmalade Cm Em It's a chemical, chemical kind G C As it lights upon your eye... Am C Lights upon your eye
[Outro]
Em G C April marches on Em G C April marches on Em G C April marches on Em G C April marches on
