CAPO on 3rd fret
[Intro]
G G/F C D X2
[Verse 1]
G G/F C
Ever seen a blind man cross the road
D G G/F C D
Trying to make the other side?
G G/F C
Ever seen a young girl growing old
D G G/F C D
Trying to make herself a bride?
[Chorus]
Em D
So what becomes of you my love
G A
When they have finally stripped you of
C
The handbags and the gladrags
D G G/F C D X2
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
[Verse 2]
G G/F
Once I was a young man
C D G G/F C D
And all I thought I had to do was smile
G G/F
Well you are still a young girl
C D G G/F C D
And you've bought everything in style
[Chorus]
Em D
So once you think you're in you're out
G A
'Cause you don't mean a single thing without
C
The handbags and the gladrags
D G G/F C D
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
[Instrumental]
D G C G
[Verse 3]
G G/F C
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
D G G/F C D
And drink a bottle full of rye
G G/F C
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
D G G/F C D
And bake 'em all in a pie
[Chorus]
Em D
They told me you missed school today
G A
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
C
The handbags and the gladrags
D C C/B G X16
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy
Em D
They told me you missed school today
G A
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
C
The handbags and the gladrags
D G G/F C D X2
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
[Outro]
G G/F C D
G G/F C C G
