Chords for Jimmy C is joined by passerby Ozzy for Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs.

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well he painted softwood smoky tops [Am] on cardboard boxes
From the [A] shops in Patavankos where I used to [Dm] play _
_ I'm sure he once walked down [A] a street
[C] Cause he painted kids written out from the fleet
[G] With roses wore at all his better days
_ [C] _ Now they said his work survived the dogs
And [Am] wrote more lives than was a fool
[A] But Lowry didn't care [Em] much anyway
[Dm] _ _ They said he just painted cats and dogs
[C] And matchstock men and matchstock trucks
[G] And Lowry said that's the way [C] it'll be
And he painted matchstock men and matchstock trucks
And he painted cats [Am] and dogs
[E] _ _ [G] Paid the kids on the corner of the street
With a [C] smile through trial
_ Now he takes his brush and he waits
[G] [Dm] Outside them factory gates
[G] To paint those matchstock men and matchstock cats [C] and dogs _ _
Canvas and brushes were wearing [Am] thin
When Lowry started calling [E] him
To come on down and wear the old black cap
It's very [Dm] _ _ [A] bad to sing this song, will you?
Give a round of applause, we have Ozzy here, the first singer of the day
Will you give Ozzy [B] a big round of applause, please clap your hands, come on
_ _ [E] _ [B] Go Ozzy, go
_ _ [F] Ladies and gentlemen, we have a [A] celebrity here _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ [N] I'm here to tell you
You're not _ _ [C] supposed to be here
_ _ _ He painted Sophie's smoky tops
[Am] On cardboard boxes from [A] the shop
After Langoats where I used [Dm] to play
_ _ I'm sure he once walked down her [G] street
Cos he painted kids here and out of their feet
The clothes they wore had all seemed [C] dead and dazed
Now [G] they said his [C] works of art were [A] dull
No [Am] room in the wall, the walls are [A] full
Lowry didn't care much anyway
_ [Dm] _ They said he just paints cats and [C] dogs
Matchstock men and boots and [G] clogs
Lowry said that's just the [C] way they'd stay
And he painted matchstock men and matchstock [G] cats and dogs
_ He painted kids on the corner of the street with [Em] sparkling clogs
_ [Eb] Now [C] he takes him by the shinny weight
[G] [Dm] Outside them factory gates
[G] The painters, matchstock men and matchstock cats [C] and dogs
_ _ Now canvas and brushes were errant
And [E] London started calling [Em] in
Come on down [A] and wear the [Dm] alphatops
_ He said tell us all about your [G] ways
[C] And all about them [G] suffer days
Do you just ignore them every [C] chance?
And he painted matchstock men and matchstock [G] cats and [Dm] dogs
He [G] painted kids on the corner of the street with a sparkling clog
[C] _ Now he takes him by the shinny weight
[Dm] Outside them factory gates
The [G] painters, matchstock men and matchstock [C] cats and dogs
[G] _ Now Lowry hangs upon the [A] wall
Behind the greatest of them [B] all
Even the Mona [D] Lisa takes a [Dm] bow
_ This tired [B] old man with hair like [C] snow
Told northern folk it's time to [G] go
A fever came and the good Lord [C] mocked his [G] brow
And he left us matchstock men and matchstock [Dm] cats and dogs
He [G] left us kids on the corner of the street with a [C] sparkling [G] clog
_ Now he [C] takes him by the shinny weight
[G] [Dm] Outside them fairy gates
The painters, [G]
matchstock men and matchstock [C] cats and dogs
And he painted matchstock [E] men and matchstock [Dm] cats and dogs
He [G] left us kids on the corner of the street with a sparkling clog
[C] _
Now he takes him by the shinny weight
[Dm] Outside them fairy gates
The [G] painters, matchstock men and matchstock cats [C] and dogs
