Chords for Billy Bragg, "The Saturday Boy"

One of you have a wonderful note from a dad saying that _ he kind of guilt-tripped me because he described having to, you know,
_ take her home on the subway and explain to her why I have a son.
I figured [D#] that out.
_ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ Works for me.
_ _ [F#] _ That's my kind of heckle.
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] So this is what Matt's wanted to [E] hear.
_ [A#] Why not?
_ [D#] _
Yes!
[B] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _
I'm assuming he has a Saturday job somewhere, huh?
_ [Bm] _ [E] _
_ You [B] seem like a nice lad. _ _
_ [E] I'll never forget the first [F#m] day I [E] met her.
[G#m] That [B] September morning was [A] clear and [B] fresh.
The way she spoke and laughed [B] at my jokes [E] and
the way she rubbed herself [B]
against the edge of my [E] desk.
She [B] became a magic mystery [A] to [E] me and we
[B] sit together in Bowery Street [A] twice a [E] week and
some days we ball the [F#] same way on.
[E] It's surprising how quick a little rain can [A] clear the streets.
[C#] _ Dreamed of her [B] and compared [E]
our dreams
[C#m] but that was all that [A] I _ [E] ever [C#] tasted.
She lied to me, [B]
the pudding [E] you see.
Lied [F#] to myself about the chances I [B] was there.
The time we were close, or far in between.
The darkness of the dances in the school canteen did.
[E] She'd close her [B] eyes as I did.
[F#] We held each [A] other [E] tight and la la la la la la.
What does it mean, Matt? _
It [F] means I love you.
I love you guys.
_ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
See this is what happens when I don't give a whistle. _ _ _
_ _ Yeah, I know, give me a break.
_ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ [G#m] _ _ [B] _ Only German shepherds could hear [E] that last night.
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ [B] And the old town, the [E] old town is in the German part of Chicago.
There was a [B] couple of old shepherds.
They said they were shepherds, didn't they?
_ _ _ [Em] I [D#] love that bit.
_ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ [E] She [B] danced with me and I still hold that memory soft and sweet.
And I whistle up at her window as [Bm] I walked down her street.
[E] But I never made the [B] first team, I just made [F#m] the first team laugh.
And [E] she never came to the phone, she [B] was always [A] in the bath.
[C#m] In the end it took [B] me a dictionary to find out the meaning [A] of _
_ [E] _ unrequited.
[C#] What she was giving [B]
herself for free at a [F#] party to which I was [F#m] never [C#m] _ [B] invited.
I never understood how I'd face it.
And I hide my humble hopes now. _ _
_ [E] Thinking back folks, [F#] she made us wonder.
_ [A] _
_ You're not [G#m] old enough [B] to shave her head and have her belly button pierced yet.
[G#m] _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ [E] I don't whistle the outro.
[F#] _
[B] All the S-research has revealed that the average [D] Billy Bragg man hears the trumpet [F#] solo in their head at this point in the evening.
[E] No [B] matter what I do.
_ _ _ [A] _ [B] _ _
All I have to do is play the 36 bars to the outro.
You reconnect with that sad adolescent experience [F#m] you first [G#m] drew to this song.
_ _ [B] I _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [Em] don't need [B] to dwell on private grief so I'll just leave you [B] to_
[E] _ [G#m] _swim.
_ [B] _
While I head for the outro, [Em] here we go.
[G#m] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [G#m] _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Em] _ [G#m] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ I sometimes throw in a little [D#] guitar lick just to keep myself interested.
[A] _ _
[E] _ _ _ [Bm] _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ [B] _ _
Well here's something, [Em] here's something.
[B] _ That same audience research also revealed that there was a certain _ _ segment of the Billy Bragg audience.
Shall we say, how can I say this politely?
_ _ _ _ _ Geezers that are my age.
_ _ [C#] A certain segment of my audience who don't know why that guitar [B] riff is funny. _
_ [G#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
In the [D#] interest of [Bm] inclusiveness.
_ [A] If you're one of those [E] people.
_ [G#m] _ _ [B] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D#] _ [B] Same shit, different day.
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
