Chords for Flanders and Swann - Ill Wind - Mozart Horn Concerto

I once had a [Bb] whim and I had to obey it to buy a French horn in a second-hand [Eb] shop.
I polished it up and I started to play it in spite of the neighbours who begged me to stop.
_ [Bb] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ To sound my horn I had to develop my en-bouchure.
I found my horn was a bit of a devil to play. _
[G] So [Cm] oddly wound [F] to give [Bb] you a sound, a beautiful [C] sound, so rich and [E] round.
_ [F] _
[G] Oh, the hours I had to spend before I mastered it again.
[D] _ _ [Bb] But that [Eb] was yesterday [Bb] and just today [F] I looked in the [Bb] usual place.
[Eb] There [Bb] was the case [F] but the horn itself [Bb] was missing. _
[Eb] _ Oh, where can it have gone?
Haven't you, hasn't [F] anyone seen [Bb] my horn?
_ _ [Eb] Oh, where can it have gone?
[Bb] What a blow!
Now I know I'm unable to play my own.
_ Who, [F] _ _ [Bb] _ who [C] swiped [Gm] that horn?
I mentioned a friend suddenly.
[Eb] Knowing I'd hardly [F] concerned her when wanted to play it.
Afraid of [Bb] my talent at playing [Eb] the horn for only [Bb] to date her.
I had to despair and danced away like the terrible mime.
_ [Bb] _ _ _
[Eb] _ [Bb] Today [Eb] I've _ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ lost that horn.
I know [Ebm] I was using it yesterday.
I've lost that [B] horn, lost that horn, found that [Bb] horn.
Go!
[F] Stop!
[Bb] I shall say it again, I'm not planning to pay a [F] reward.
_ _ [Eb] _
I know some hearty folk whose party jokes pretended to hunt with a quill.
[Ab] Gone away, [Eb] gone away, [Bb] who's it, my mother, took it away?
_ [Eb] Will you [C] kindly [F] return that [Bb] horn?
Oh, where is the devil who pinched my horn?
_ [Eb] I [C] should go to the police.
[F] _
[Bb] I [B] want [E] it, [Gb] which horn?
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I miss its music more and more and _ _ more.
Without that [Ab] horn, _ I'm feeling sad and so _ _ forlorn. _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. _
[Eb] I hardly concerned her when wanted to play it.
Afraid [Bb] of my talent at playing the horn for only to date her.
I had to despair and had totally [Eb] vanished away.
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Cm] _ _
[Ab] _ _ [F] _ I practiced the [Bb] horn when I wanted to play it, but somebody took it [Eb] away.
[Gb] I practiced [Bb] the horn and was longing [Eb] to play it, but somebody took it away.
_ My neighbors will see that it was meant.
I'll soon make you wish you were dead.
I'll pick up that tuber and say, wah, wah.
