Intro: G - A

Verses are just Bm and Em. (With G and F#m as additional chords.)

Bm_______________________________________
I'd like to drop my trousers to the world
_______Em_______________G_____________F#m
I am a man of means (of slender means)
_____Bm__________________________________
Each household appliance
_________________________Em_____G_F#m____
Is like a new science in my town
___________Bm____________________________
And if the day came when I felt a
natural emotion
____Em____________________________G______
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump
____________F#m__________________________
In the ocean

The 'And when a train goes by'-part is A-Bm-G (It's important you actually must play 
string apart, that part)

A________________________________________
And when a train goes by
____________Bm___________________________
It's such a sad sound
G________________________________________
No ...
A___________Bm______________G____________
It's such a sad thing

G - F#m   (You can also play this :

     _________________
      |  G- 4- -2-Bend  | 
      |  D- 5- -4-Bend  | 
      |  A- 5- -4-Bend  | 
     [_______________] )

Intro ( G - A )
Bm_______________________________________
I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen

Every sensible child will know what this means

The poor and the needy

Are selfish and greedy on her terms
___________Bm____________________________
And if the day came when I felt a
natural emotion

I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump

Intro: G - A
_____________Bm__________________________
And when I'm lying in my bed
__Em_____________________________________
I think about life
__________________G____F#m
And I think about death
____Bm________________________Em_________G_F#m
And neither one particularly appeals to me

___________Bm____________________________
And if the day came when I felt a
natural emotion
____Em____________________________G_F#m__
I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie
_______Em_______________________G__F#m___
In the middle of the street and die
____Em__G_F#m____Bm______________________
I'd lie down and die ...
A___Em
Oh, oh
