No  room  about  the  wall  was  full,
       A (x02220@1)           A7 (x02020@1)        DM
But  Lowry  didn't  care  much  anyway,
         FThey (133211@1) said  he  just  paints  cats  and  dogs.
       CAnd (x32010@1) Match stalk  men  in  boots  and  clogs,

                                       C (x32010@1)            He  painted  kids  on  the  corner  of  the  streets  with  the  sparking  clogs,
                                                                                       F (133211@1)            And  now  he  takes  his  brush  and  he  waits  outside  them  factory  gates,
                                   G (320003@1)

       A (x02220@1)                A7 (x02020@1)               DM
To  come  on  down  and  wear  the  old  flat  cap,

Beside  the  greatest  of  them  all,
       A (x02220@1)           A7 (x02020@1)        DM
And  even  the  Mona Lisa  takes  a  bow,
       FThis (133211@1) tired  old  man  with  hair  like  snow,
        CTold (x32010@1) northern  folk  its  time  to  go,
