[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ I _ _ _ _ loved your [D] home at Springfield [C] and your shelter [Em]-driven [E] jag
The [G] afternoons at the Yacht [C] Squadron really [D] are a drag
_ [C] Your country [D] home at Allgate, [G] horses and your friends
[C] The [D] alcoholic sunsets, [G] pleasure [E] never ends [C] I'd just [D] begun to notice [G] cold still in your
eyes [Em] _ _ _ _ [C] _
[D] So I say to [Em] you goodbye _ _ [C] as [D] she goes on [Em] asking
why _ [G] I've spoken to [D] your father, [C] he's a [Em] self-made
millionaire [E] Do you [G] know where his factories are?
[C] Do you know who lives there?
[D] _
[C] In squashy [D] little red brick [G] houses far away [E] from here
[C] They're ugly and [D] they're all the same, the neighbours live [Em] so near
[C] Oh, the way my [D] family's living there, [G] you'd not believe [E] your [Em] eyes
_ _ _ [C] _ [D] So I say to [Em] you goodbye as [C] _ [D] she goes on [Em] asking why
_ [G] Why your brothers are [D] learning how to [C] drive the jag in [Em] your backyard
_ [C] Father [G] sits and tells me [C] about how he's worked so hard
[D] Your [C] mother's [F#m] introducing [G] me with [Em] patronising grace
[C] To all her [D] bridge friends in the salon, little cakes and lace
[C] My mother's [D] working nights, yet [G] now she's working [Em] till she dies _ _
_ _ [C] _ [A] So I say to [Em] you goodbye as [C] _ [D] she goes [Em] on asking why
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[D] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [G] So your [D] father's farm owns [C] factories not far [Em] from where we stay
[C] Chimneys [G] spewing thick black [C] smoke across [D] the night and day _
[C] Father people [D] live and work down [G] there underneath that [Em] patch of smoke
[C] Kids' [D] backyards are small and they're too small to [Em] keep a dog
[C] Don't tell me [D] that they like [G] it there, that's [Em] certainly a lie
_ _ _ [C] _ [E] So I say to [Em] you goodbye _ [C] as [D] she goes [Em] on asking why
_ Please [D] don't cry, you'll find a [C] lover, very [Em] soon I'm sure
[E] A gentleman [G] who'll bring you [C] roses and lay them at your door
[D] _ [E] It's not [G] because you're rich, because you're [E] not prepared to think
[C] The higher [G] Daddy rises, the more his work will sink
[C] Oh you won't wake [G] up in time my lady, you won't realise
_ _ [Em] _
_ _ [C] So [F#] I say to you [Em] goodbye _ as [C] _ [D] she goes on [Em] asking why
_ _ So I say to you goodbye _
