[F#m] [G#] [F#] [F#m]
There was a time, now very [Bm] far away, when we set up [G#] together, I [F#m] and she.
I got the brain, and she supplied [Bm] the breast.
I [A#] saw her eye, and she looked [G] after me.
[A] A way of life then, if not [D] quite the best.
And when a client came, I'd slide out of our bed,
and treat him nice, and go and have a drink instead.
And when he paid up, I'd address him,
sir.
Come any night, you feel you fancy her.
That time's long past, [E] but what would I [A] not give,
[D] to see that whorehouse [Gm] where we used [F#m] to live.
That was a time, now very [Bm] far away, he was so sweet and [G#] bashed me [F#m] where it hurt.
And when the cash ran out, the feathers [Bm] really flew.
He'd [A#] hop and say, I'm going to [G] pawn your
skirt.
[B] A [A#] skirt is nicer, [A] but no [D] skirt will do.
Just like his cheek, he had me fairly stewing.
I'd ask him straight to say what he thought he was doing.
Then he'd lash out, and knock me head
[A] long down the stairs.
I [G] had the bruises up my numb [D] for years.
That [E] time's long past, but what would [A] I
not give, to see [Gm] that whorehouse where we [E] used to live.

That was a time, now very [Bm] far away,
not [G#] that the bloody time seems [F#m] to have looked out.
When afternoons were all I [Bm] had for you,
I [A#] told you she was generally [G] booked up.
[Am] The [A#] nights more normal, [A] but [D] daytime will do.
And when a client came, you'd slide out of bed, and treat him nice, and go and have a [A] drink instead.
And when [Bm] he paid, I'd address [A] him, sir.
Come [G] any night, you feel you [D] fancy her.

past, but what would we [C] not give, [D] to see that whorehouse where we [E] used to live.
