I'm going on the [E] circuit, _ _ [F#m] I'm doing all the [Bm] clubs, _
_ [D] And I really need [E] a song, boys, [Am] to stir those workers [D] up, _
_ [A] And get their wives to sing [E] it with me, _ _ [F#m] just like in [A] the _
[Bm] pubs,
_ When I've [D] worked the good old [E] pubs in Stepney.
_ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [A] Oh, could you knock a [E] line or two _ [F#m] together for a [A] friend,
[C#m] _ _ [Bm] To send a melody [E] or two or three _ _ [C#] with a happy [F#m] _ [D] end,
_ _ [A] And we need a tune [E] to open _ [F#m] our season at South [Bm] End,
_ _ [Bm] Can [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [Bm] you [E] help us?
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] It's hard to write a song with bare arms,
_ So let me bruise those [Am] wounds and tell you why,
Those bones I heartened, [C] they're my sweetest guys,
And they never keep on playing hollow [Am] party lines,
_ [Dm] It's easy to meet a [C] change of pace, and that's easy,
[F] I'm still trying to light the nightingale, _ _
No more long days, [C] hot and hot and starving,
Spitting up windows, never stop,
[E] I'm waiting for, _ _ [G#] waiting for,
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I like the warm [E] blue flame, _ _ [F#m] the hazy heated [A] _
breeze,
_ [Bm] It loosens up [E] the muscles [Am] and forces you to [D] sing,
_ _ [Bm] You [D] know it's just [E] another hit and run [Am] from the Tin Pan [D] Alley Twins,
_ _ [A] There's a chance [E] that one day, _ [F#m] _ you might write [A] a stand-in, loves,
[Bm] So turn it [E] out big and fast, [G] I'm willing to [F#m] pat your [D] back,
_ _ [A] _ Cause we need [E] what we can get,
[F#m] So launch another [A] dozen acts,
[Bm] Oh, oh, _ [D] oh, oh, [Bm] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Can you [E] help us?
[C] _ _
_ _ [F] _ It's hard to write [C] a song with bare arms,
_ So let me bruise [Am] those wounds and tell you why,
[F] _ Those bones I [C] heartened, they're my sweetest guys,
I can keep on playing hollow [Am] _
