Portobello Man Chords by The Bevis Frond

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] Future histories [Am] will tell us [C] quite enough
Of maps and wars and [Am] all that [F] scientific stuff
[G] _ But what [C] of this bearded angel?
[Dm]
Few can [G] understand
And for [C] now let's call him Portobello [C] Man
_ [G] _ _ [C] _
[G] Distinctly different [Am] from the Carnaby [C] ravines
[F] No [C] capes, no [Dm] mandirins, no silver [F] bells on [G] chains
They [F] lifted a stencil bander off its metal stand
And they found the [C] bones [G] of [F] Portobello Man
They _ [C] _ [G] scoured the markets and the [Am] vintage clothing [C] shops
They [F] studied [C] old photographs of where [F] he might have stopped
[G] They dug out their granddad's old [Dm] booms buried in the [F] sand
[C] And they _ _ [G] reconstructed Portobello Man _ _
[C] _ [G] Unpopular [Am] theorists denounce him [C] as a hoax
[F] He's [C] right on magazines, [Dm] his music and his smokes
[G] But then isn't [C] freedom part [Dm] of everybody's [F] plan?
Who thinks us [C] all to [G] Portobello [F] Man?
_ Who thinks us all [G] to Portobello [F] Man? _ _ _
