[E] [A] [Bm] [D]
[A] As I walked [D] down through Chatham [E] Street, a fair maid [A] I did meet.
She asked [Bm] me to see her home, she lived in [A] Leekham Street.
And the way [D] it's tallying!
[E]
[A] [Bm] [E]
[A] [D] Leekham Street, [E] we stopped at [A] 44.
Our mother and [Bm] our sister [E] there to meet her [A] at noon.
Inside [D] [E]
[A] [Bm] [E]
[A] [D] the house, [E] the drinks were [A] passed around.
The liquor was [Bm] so awful strong, my head went [A] round and round.
[D] [E]
[A] [E]
[A] And then we [D] had another drink [E] before we sat [A] to eat.
The liquor was [Bm] so awful strong, I [E] quickly fell [A] asleep.
[D] [E] Ah, come on, [A] milk, lay that modern [Bm] man just in.

Watched [D] in my pocket, the [E] young lady [A] friend were gone.
And there was I, [Bm] Jack all alone, stark naked [A] in me bed.
[D] [E]
[A] [D] [E]
[A] On looking [D] round this little room, [E] there's nothing I [A] could see.
But a woman's [Bm] shift and apron [E] that were no [A] use to me.
Ah, come on, milk, lay [D] that modern man just [E]
[A] [D] [E]
[A] in.
With the power [D] barrel for a suit of [E] clothes down Cherry [A] Street for long.
There Martin [Bm] Churchill took me [E] in and said, round [A] a
round a way.
[D] [E]
[A] [E]
[A] I say, are you a matalove?
Careful what you say, sir.
We're on board ship here.
