Flashman's in the belfry, shouting as loud as he can

Am
Samson's up all night again, talking about himself

       G
What a wonderful man

    D                   Em
And I'm just wild about Ronnie

    C                        D
And Ronnie's just wild about me

          Em                          C
I saw him selling winter coats on the Portobello Road

             D                                          Em
I thought, I bet he wishes he was really working for the NME

         Am   D    G          D
When the gang come down here again

            Am                            G
And they're phoning up Australia and they call each other names

         Am                               G
And they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine

       Am       C           G
Some of my best friends are trains

    Am                                              G
Now Steven's in a sweat, he just can't read Kerouac books,  no

    Am                                                   G
And Robin's all excuses, says he can't find much, but he does look

        D
He goes up to the playfair

        Em
He goes down with the stars

        C                         D
He goes wild all the weekend in a girlfriend's car

       Em                           C
And he calls me from Chelsea and he says it's such a thrill

             D                                     Em
And though I don't believe a word, but he keeps me talking

         Am   D    G          D
Till the gang come down here again

            Am                            G
And they're phoning up Australia and they call each other names

         Am                               G
And they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine

       Am       C           G
Some of my best friends are trains

    Am
And did you ever have one of those days

          G
Where the world's wide open and you can do anything

            Am
And you can go anywhere and you don't have to think

      G
About who you'll offend every time that you even blink

    D                            Em
I'm going to the station where a big red train

   C                         D
Is waiting to take me to the country again

     Em                            C
Then you'll come from Yonkers, but why should I care

      D                                      Em
It'll rain and rain for days and days and you know I won't be there

         Am   D    G          D
When the gang come down here again

            Am                            G
And they're phoning up Australia and they call each other names

         Am                               G
And they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine

       Am       C
Some of my best friends

          Am   D    G          D
Yeah, the gang come down here again

            Am                            G
And they're phoning up Australia and they call each other names

         Am                               G
And they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine

       Am       C           G
