As recorded by The Kinks (From the 1970 Album LOLA VERSUS POWERMAN AND THE MONEYGOROUND, PART ONE) [Intro] G C [Verse 1]
G                     C
Down the way from the Tottenham Court Road

G                          C
Just round the corner from old Soho

D                         G
There's a place where the publishers go

                        C
If you don't know which way to go

     G                  C
Just open your ears and follow your nose

         D                          G
'Cos the street is shakin' from the tapping of toes

                  C          G          C
You can hear that music play anytime on everyday

D             G
Every rhythm, every way

            F             C
You go to a publisher and play him your song

           G                       C
He says 'I hate your music and you hair is too long

    D             C              G
But I'll sign you up because I'd hate to be wrong'
[Bridge]
G
You've got a tune it's in your head you want to get it placed

       E7                A                 D7                G
So you take it down to a music man just to see what he will say

G
He says "I hate the tune, I hate the words but I'll tell you what I'll do

     E7                      A                    D                   G
I'll sign you up and take it round the street and see if it makes the grade

        A                                D
And you might even hear it played on the rock 'n' roll hit parade"
[Verse 2]
G                    C          G                 C
Daytime, night time, every week you can hear that heavy beat

        D                          G
Now the walls are shaking from the tapping of feet

         F           C         G       F          C
Daytime, night time, every day you can hear that music play

D             G
Every rhythm, every way
