Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[C][Bb][C]

[Verse 1]
I can think of [C]nowhere
I would rather be
Reading morning papers,
drinking morning tea:
She [G]clutches the tray
And then we talk just like a
[D]kitchen sink play
[Bb]Nothing ventured, noth[F]ing gained.
[G]Living so close to danger,
[D]Even your friends are strangers
[Bb]Don't count upon their company.
[F]

[Verse 2]
[C]This is for the fin[Bbm]gers,
[C]This is for the nails:
Hidden in the [Bbm]kitchen,
[C]Right behind the scales.
[G]What do I care?
I'm wasting fingers like I
[D]had them to spare,
Plugging [Bb]holes in [F]the Zuider Zee.
[G]Punishing Paul for Peter,
[D]Don't ever trust those meters
[Bb]What you believe is what [F]you see.

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][C][G][D]
[C][G][D][C][G][D]
[C]

[Verse 3]
In my [G]town,
there is [D]a raincoat under a tree.
[C]In [G]the sky, there is a [D]cloud
con[Bm]taining [D]the [C]sea.
In the [G]sea, there is a [D]whale
[Bm]without [D]any [C]eyes.
In the [G]whale,
there is a [D]man [Bm]without his raincoat.
[C]

[Verse 4]
In another country,
[Bbm]with a[C]nother name[Bbm]
[C]Maybe things are different,
[Bbm]maybe [C]they're the same.

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][D][Bb][F]
[G][D][Bb][F]

[Verse 5]
[G]Back on the trail,
The seven soldiers read the pa
[D]pers [Bb]and mail
But the news, it [F]does't change.
[G]Swinging about through creepers,
[D]Parachutes caught on steeples
[Bb]Heroes are born, but heroes [F]die.
[G]Just a few days,
a little practice and some [D]holiday pay,
We're all [Bb]sure you'll
make [F]the grade.
[G]Mother of God, if you care,
[D]We're on a train to nowhere
[Bb]Please put a cross upon [F]our eyes.
[G]Take me - I'm nearly ready,
you can [D]take me
To the [Bb]raincoat in [F]the sky.
[G]Take me - my little pastry
mother [D]take me
There's [Bb]a pie shop in [F]the sky.

[Outro 1]
