VERSE 1:
Em9                       Am7       C/D       D/G
Dark and grey, an English film, the Wednesday Play
   E      B/F#      Emaj7    Amaj7
We always watch the Queen on Christmas Day
A/D   D   D/G
Won't you stay?

VERSE 2:
Though your eyes see shipwrecked sailors you're still dry
The outlook's fine though Wales might have some rain
Saved again

BRIDGE TO CHORUS: (in 7/4)
Amaj7   Am7   E(addF#)   Emaj7   Amaj7   Am7   Cmaj7-5/E

CHORUS 1:
Em             Bm7        A(addB)              Gmaj9  G
Let's skip the news, boy... I'll make some tea
Em            Bm7        A(addB)           Gmaj9  G
Arabs and the Jews, boy... too much for me
Em             Bm7         A(addB)                Gmaj9
They get me confused, boy... puts me off to sleep
        F#m7    Gmaj9      F#m7   G#m7
And the thing I hate... oh Lord!
              C#m7                  E                     Em7  A9 Em7 A9 Em9
Is staying up late, to watch some debate on some nation's fate

VERSE 3:
Hypnotised by Batman, Tarzan, still surprised!
You've won the West in time to be our guest
Name your prize!

VERSE 4:
Drop of wine, a glass of beer, dear, what's the time?
The grime on the Tyne is mine all mine all mine
Five past nine

CHORUS 2:
Blood on the rooftops... Venice in the Spring
The Streets of San Francisco... a word from Peking
The trouble was started by a young Errol Flynn
Better in my day... oh Lord!
For when we got bored, we'd have a world war, happy but poor

CHORUS 3:
So let's skip the news, boy... I'll go and make that tea
Blood on the rooftops... too much for me
When old Mother Goose stops they're out for 23
Then the rain at Lords stopped play
Seems Helen of Troy has found a new face again
