So Lonely Was the Ballad Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]So lonely was the ballad
Harmonica Man Sam [Am]was so
knackered after jives of love
He [Em]puts on the glove
and then puts on his hat
Then it's [F]home to the missus
who sits on his tongue
[C]Selfish sons with their
packs of cigarettes
[Am]Forking out two,
take your girl with the ticket
[Em]Sometimes sane,
other times not with it
[F]Standing at the picket, man, your hands,

[Interlude 1]
they're freezing
[C][Am]
[C][F]
[C][Am]
[C][F][C]

[Verse 2]
Girls with their pearls on the
flex of Monroes
And [Am]half gee blow,
Marilyn's gone loco, [Em]Navajo
Hi-ho Silver, Silver, hey-ho,
let's [F]let's go dancing with the average Joes
Who [C]talk with their fists and argue
with their friends
[Am]Always take the piss
but they're loyal in the end
But [Em]watch out 'cause they'll
[C]steal your girlfriend
[F]Take her round the back,
she'll come back limping

[Verse 3]
And [G]girls singing on the bus,
fellas kicking up a fuss
[Am]Crying out sighs but they're
still looking dangerous
[Eb]Oh, this is defi[Dm]nitely all f[G]or y[C]ou[F]
[Gsus4]Living life in t[G]he fast lane and, uh
[Am]Give it up when you got no game,
oh well, uh
[Eb]Oh, this is [Dm]definitely a[G]ll f[C]or you

[Verse 4]
So [C]remember when you [Eb]choke
there's a [F]reason be[Am]ing
We [G]leaving the [Dm]town 'cause we
[Em]ain't been believing
Blow[C]ing up smoke from the
[G]lungs to the [Am]ceiling
[G]Making sure [Eb]nightmares [C]turn up
in your dreaming
We're all good as we [G]bounce this way
On the mic every [Dm]day,
hitting [Em]up the coun[C]try, oh
Good time in the [G]old city
Who's [Am]listening [Dm]and who wants m[Em]ore?
[C]'Cause the

[Verse 5]
[Gsus4]girls singing on [G]the bus,
fellas kicking up a fuss
[Am]Crying out sighs and they're
still looking dangerous
[Eb]Oh, this is defi[Dm]nitely all for y[C]ou[F]
[Gsus4]Living life in t[G]he fast lane and, uh
[Am]Give it up when you got no game, I said, uh
[Eb]Oh, this is [Dm]definitely a[C]ll for you

[Verse 6]
[F]"And just how it was that they noticed just
how the [C]panic times sub[G]sided
Af[C]ter listening to this [G]tape,[C]
So we would appreciate your feedback
People who have panic attacks often feel that
[Am]they should be able [F]to deal with them
And indeed the resources you
[C]need are already [G]within you
[C]It's jus[F]t that sometimes the[C] appropriate
responses to a particular situ[F]ation
[C]Are not immediately [G]accessible"
[F]So

[Verse 7]
[C]some of them said you
never made the cut
And [Am]young son breakaway,
wanna be older
[Em]Sober as a judge as the door slams shut
[F]Three bags full and a "Yes"
for the "No, sir"
[C]Say as you leaving, "Get up and go, go"
[Am]Say, "Hello,
Showaddywaddy wa wo-wo"
[Em]There's never been a better way
Than [C]getting right [F]out of this town
on Monday (Monday)
Well, [C]I still wear up my old tap shoes,
they [Am]fit
You and me looked twelve years
old back [Em]when I was ten
Whilst Boozy Su[C]zy got [F]woozy with a "who's he",
advantage taken
If I [C]ever see again that chaperone
Get [Am]kicked in the teeth,
high street downtown
Well, her [Em]dress is ripped and her
shoes are soaking
[G]One step, three back, [Am]drinking potion

[Verse 8]
[G]Girls singing on the bus,
fellas kicking up a fuss
[Am]Cry ing out sighs and they're
still looking dangerous
[Eb]Oh, [Am]this is defin[Dm]itely all for y[C]ou[F]
[G]Living life in the fast lane and, uh
[Am]Give it up when you got no game,
oh well, uh
[Eb]Oh, [Am]this is defin[Dm]itely all f[C]or you
