It's nigh on fifty years since [F#m] I moved into this street
[C#]
[B] And there's no kind of people [E] who could ever owe to me _
But I've had a note from council, [F#m] a young chap brought it round
[B] He said that very soon they're going to knock our houses [E] down
[C#m] But he told me not [G#m] to worry, [C#m] they've just the place [G#m] for me
[C#m] A brand new flat [G#m] not far from here, just [F#m] waiting there [B] to see
So [G#] I thought I'd take a stroll round there [C#m] and give the place the eye
[F#m] But it came as quite a shock to find it fifteen [B] storeys _ _ high
Oh [C#m] I don't want to leave [A] me all too up [E] too down
[B] It isn't much to look at, but [E] at least it's on the ground
[A] It would surely [B] break my heart [E] for me to say [C#m] goodbye
When [A] they move me to [B] that room up in [E] the sky
_ _ Well I asked me next door neighbour [F#m] why we have got to go
_ [B] But he was none the wiser, _ [E] no one seems to know
He said there were a rumour [F#m] that he heard the other _ day
[B] Someone said they need the space to build a _
[E] motorway
[C#m] So now I'll have [G#m] to pack me bags, [C#m] it's going to be [G#m] a squeeze
[C#m] There ain't a suitcase [G#m] large enough [F#m] to hold me [B] memories
_ [G#] And I can't take me old dog Ben, [C#m] cos pets they aren't allowed
[F#m] They say he won't be suited [C#m] [F#m] to a life [B] amongst the clouds _ _ _
[E] Oh I don't want [C#m] to leave [A] me all too up [E] too down
[B] It isn't much to look at, [E] but at least it's on the ground _
[A] It would surely [B] break my heart [E] for me to say [C#m] goodbye
When [A] they move me to [B] that room up in [E] the sky _ _ _
Just the other day I saw [F#m] me old friend Mrs Brown
[B] She has a flat the same as [E] mine on the other side of town
She said it's nice and cosy but [F#m] there's one thing makes her vexed
[C#m]
[B] She doesn't see a single soul from one day to [E] the next
[C#m] Well the more I [G#m] think about it, [C#m] the more I want [G#m] to stay
[C#m] I wish that I [G#m] could close me [A] eyes and make it [B] go away
[G#] The only _ consolation [C#m] I'll say to be quite fair
[F#m] I'm sure to get to heaven cos I'll be [B] half way there
_ _ [E] Oh I don't want [C#m] to leave [A] me all too up [E] too down
[B] It isn't much to look at, [E] but at least it's on the ground
[A] It would [B] surely break my [E] heart for me to [G#] say [C#m] goodbye
When [A] they move me to [B] that room up in [E] the sky _
