Key: :[F#] (w: Gilbert O'Sullivan)
INTRO: [F#] [D#m] [B] [C#]
VERSE 1:
It's
[F#] over now; you've
[D#m] had your fun
Get
[Cm7] up them stairs, go on, quickly
[F] don't run
Take
[Fm7] off your shoes; the
[A#] both of you's
[D#m] And leave them
[D#m/D] down outside the
[D#m/C#] door
[D#m/C]
Turn the
[B] landing light, off, no wait, leave it on
It might
[B7] make the night, that much
[G#] easier to be gone
And in the
[F#] morning who'll be
[C#m] wide awake
And eating
[D#m] snow flakes oh as opposed to
[B] those flakes
(We [F#] will), we will,
(we [C#] will), we will
VERSE 2:
That
[F#] afternoon we
[D#m] spend the day
With
[Cm7] uncle Frank, remember? and his
[F] wife auntie Mae
Well
[Fm7] do you know since then
[A#] I've recieved
Up-to-four
[D#m] letters all of which
[D#m/D] repeat the
[D#m/C#] same
[D#m/C]
They say
[B] thrilled to bits, can't believe you came
We re-
[B7]-lived it both over
[G#] time and time again
And if there's
[F#] ever a chance or
[C#m] even half
You might be
[D#m] our way, would you promise
[B] to stay
(We [F#] will), we will,
(we [C#] will), we will
BRIDGE:
Oh its not
[B] easy pre-
[C#]-tending
that you
[Fm7] cannot
[A#] hear
once you've
[D#m] suffered the reflections with-
[F#]-in
It's no
[A#] use in an
[B] ending
to pro-
[D#m]-claim from the start that the
[F#] moral of the stories to be-
[C#]-gin.
VERSE 3:
On
[F#] Sunday next if the
[D#m] weather holds
We'll
[Cm7] have that game, but I bagsy-being-
[F]-in-goal
Not be-
[Fm7]-cause I'm good, or be-
[A#]-cause I think I should
It's just that well at
[D#m] my age I
[D#m/D] think standing
[D#m/C#] still
[D#m/C]
Would
[B] really suit me best, do we all agree?
Hands up
[B7] those who do, hands up
[G#] those who don't
I see well in that
[F#] case, will we please be
[C#m] kind enough
if not on
[D#m] Sunday, to go to mass on
[B] Monday
(We [F#] will), we will,
(we [C#] will), we will
Yeah, yeah, we
[F# open] will
