Brian & Michael - " Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs". chords
Start Jamming...
At [C] number one we've got Brian and Michael.
He painted sulphured smoky tops [Am] on cardboard boxes from the [A] shops.
Parts of Ancourt where I [Dm] used to play.
I'm sure he once walked down Elwy Street,
Cos he [C] painted kids who had melt on their feet.
[G] The clothes they wore had all seen better [C] days.
[Am] [Dm] [G] [C] Now they said his works of art were dull,
[Am] No room all at the walls are full.
[A]
Lowry didn't care much [Dm] anyway.
They said he just paints cats and [C] dogs,
And match-dog men in boots and [G] clogs.
And Lowry said that's just the way [C] they'll stay.
[G] And he [C] painted match-dog men and match-dog [Dm] cats and dogs.
He [G] painted kids on the corner of the street,
That were [C] sparking clogs.
Now he takes his brush and he waits,
[Dm] Outside them factory gates,
To [G] paint his match-dog men and match-dog [C] cats and dogs.
[G] [C] Now canvas and brushes were wearing [Am] thin,
When London started calling [E] him,
To come on [A] down and wear the [Dm] old black cap.
He said tell us all about your [C] ways,
And all about them sulphur [G] days.
Is it true you're just an [C] ordinary chap?
[G] And he [C] painted match-dog men and match-dog [Dm] cats and dogs.
He [G] painted kids on the corner of the street,
That were [C] sparkling clogs.
Now he takes his brush and he waits,
[Dm] Outside them factory gates,
To [G] paint his match-dog men and match-dog [C] cats and dogs.
Now Lowry's hanged up on the [A] wall,
Beside the greatest of them all,
Even the Mona Lisa [Dm] takes a bow.
This tired old man with hair like [C] snow,
Told northern folk it's time to [G] go,
The fever came and the good Lord [C] popped his brow.
[G] And he [C] left us match-dog men and match-dog [Dm] cats and dogs.
He [G] left us kids on the corner of the street,
That were [C] sparkling clogs.
Now he takes his brush and he waits,
[Dm] Outside them pearly gates,
To [G] paint his match-dog men and match-dog [C] cats and dogs.
[A] And he [D] left us match-dog men and match-dog cats [Em] and dogs.
He left [A] us kids on the corner of the street.
[N] [F#] [B] [Em]
