Then I'll tell you the story of my life :

 C                  G
Sixteen, clumsy and shy

E                      Am  F
I went to London and I

  C                       G     Em  E
I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A.

I said : "I like it here - can I stay ?

I like it here - can I stay ?

Do you have a vacancy

                D     G
For a Back-scrubber?"

She was left behind, and sour

         Fmaj7               D Dsus4 D
And she wrote to me, equally dour

                   Am
She said : "In the days when you were

G6/D       F
Hopelessly poor

                         D   G
I just liked you more..."
