_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Oh, hi!
Wasn't that a great sketch?
As you can see, I've practically been given [D#] the keys of the city.
Because here I am [C] in the headquarters of the KGB, right here under [Gm] Moscow.
And let me tell you this, not just anybody gets invited here.
[N] But as soon as I mention Margaret Thatcher's name, things start to happen.
[G] _ Say hello, fellas.
_ Hello, England. Hello! _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ _
_ I woke [D] up on a good day.
_ [G#] _
[C#] And the world was [F#m] wonderful. _ _ _
_ [E] And I had some dream.
[D] _ [C#] _
And the end, it [F#] fell. _ _ _ _
_ [A] I dreamt about an old man,
[C#] _
[G#] sitting and watching [F#m] the rain all night. _ _
_ [E] Couldn't sleep.
_ Because all [C#] the drugs fell.
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] All of them hit the beat. _ _
Hit my forehead.
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _
And he told me to [D] be honest. _ _ _
Well, show us that.
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ [D] And when we put our foot wrong,
[G#]
we [C#] would look for an old [F#m] thing. _ _ _ _
And we would go [D] and smoke a drink.
_ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [F#m] Then at midnight, on [D] another drink we'd look like.
_ [G#] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ And [F#m] after midnight, _ we'd start [B] off high.
Or maybe [G#] more.
_ And he [E] began to tell [B] me what it was all [G] for.
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] Woke up [D] in a house [C#] in Cheshire.
He had [Bm] gone out.
_ [F#m] _ _ _
_ And he [D] hit his suit.
[C#] And looked at [F#] the rain. _ _
_ Don't [D] remember much at [C#]
all.
But he was [F#m] worried.
He told me,
_ [D] that that's not a dream.
[C#] And then,
[F#] awake again. _ _
_ [D] He hung out at my end. _ _
_ [F#m] He's not forever. _ _
_ He's not [D] _ here. _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ Won't [C#m] you, my love,
one night [D] really,
[A] _ _ [C#] some.
Help me make [F#m] it in my mind. _ _
_ [C#m] Show me some [E] words.
[C#] Hit me.
Wrong and [F#] right. _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ So [F#] at midnight,
[D] if you can't sleep,
then I will,
[G#]
bend your ear.
[E] _ _ _ [F#] After midnight,
[B] we'd start off at night.
Or [C#]
maybe more.
And he said,
[B] I'll begin [G] with,
tell you what it [A] all for.
_ [B] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ I [D] wake up on a good day.
[C#]
The world feels [F#m] wonderful. _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] It's a dream.
[C#] It's love.
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ [E] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
