Behind With The Rent

Tabbed By Mad Mart

Intro. | Am G F | C G F | F G Am G | Dm C F G |

Vers. | Am Am | - Pause - ||: Am Am | Am C Am F Am :||

This didn?t used to be me, old boy
This isn?t what I?d want
pulling old night fighters
in a restaurant
There?s smoke and flames behind me
where the self-respect all went
and I?m behind, behind
with the rent

I?ve been stitched up like a kipper, old son
but I won?t be again
Hell hath no fury
Oh, I?m like a lot of men
Now I?m stalking this old Doris
with lascivious intent
and I?m behind, behind
with the rent

Chorus. | Am G F | C G F | F-G-C-F | Dm-Am-F-G | x 2

Just a little duck and dive
and a bit of wheel and deal
She?ll remind me I?m alive
She?ll remind me I still feel
Just a little shelling out
for a bit of you-know-what
I know this is all about
something that I never got

Solo 1.| Am Am | Am C Am F Am | Am Am |

Vers. | Am Am | Am C Am F Am | C Am F Am |

Well this crumpet?s past it?s sell-by-date
but they all would qualify
They?re going to be lonely
and be happy to comply
She knows that I?m a chancer
coming on like a gent
but I?m behind, behind
with the rent
Yes, I?m behind, behind
with the rent

Solo 2.| Am Am | Am C Am F Am | C Am F Am | Am Am |
