Magdalene (My Regal Zonophone) (Brooker / Reid)

Bb    Eb

Cm                           F 
Though I know the night has fallen 
         Bb                  Eb
and the sun's sailed out to sea 
Cm                        F
I will wait here for the band to play 
      Bb         Eb
the trumpet voluntary 
          Eb7              Ab
And with one foot on the seashore 
        Fm
and the other in the sand 
         Bb
I will stand here plaiting daisies 
            Eb       Bb   Eb        
whilst you play the piano-grand 

Caprice, your bugle blew away 
the cobwebs from my ears 
and for once I stood quite naked. 
Unashamed, I wept the tears 
which I tried to hide inside 
myself from me, I mean from you 
but the shame I found too painful 
and the pain it only grew
