[D] I'm going to close with a medley of greatest hits because it's kind of
kind of expected really and I don't suppose this has ever happened down here before but if you
would if you recognize any of the words or remember any of the song it'd be nice why don't you sing
along you know and then something wonderful will happen after.

at his side [G] [D] yesterday's paper [A] telling [F#m] [D] yesterday's new so [G] how [F#m] can you tell me that [D] you're
[Bm] lonely

[G] same old [D] man [Em] sitting there [A] on his own
[D] looking at [A] the world over the [Bm] rim of [F#m] his teacup
[G]
