          Bb (x1333x@1)                EbThere (x43121@3)was one in the gang who had Scalextric
      Bb (x1333x@1)                            EbAnd (x43121@3)because of that he thought he was better than you
      Bb (x1333x@1)                   EbEvery (x43121@3)day after school you'd go round there to play it
Bb (x1333x@1)                  EbHoping (x43121@3)to compete for some kind of championship
       Bb (x1333x@1)                              EbBut (x43121@3)it always took about fifteen billion hours to set the track up
    Bb (x1333x@1)                  Eb (x43121@3)                        Bb (x1333x@1)Eb (x43121@3)Bb (x1333x@1)EbAnd (x43121@3)even when you did the thing never seemed to work
         Bb (x1333x@1)               EbIt (x43121@3)was a dodgy transformer again and again
  Bb (x1333x@1)               EbA (x43121@3)dodgy transformer again and again
         Bb (x1333x@1)               EbIt (x43121@3)was a dodgy transformer again and again
  Bb (x1333x@1)                   Eb (x43121@3)                    Bb (x1333x@1)Eb (x43121@3)Bb (x1333x@1)EbA (x43121@3)dodgy transformer that cost three pound ten
        Bb (x1333x@1)                          EbSo (x43121@3)he'd send his doting mother up the stairs with the stepladders
   Bb (x1333x@1)             EbTo (x43121@3)get the Subbuteo out of the loft
   Bb (x1333x@1)                      EbHe (x43121@3)had all the accessories required for that big match atmosphere
    Bb (x1333x@1)                         EbThe (x43121@3)crowd and the dugout and the floodlights too
      Bb (x1333x@1)                         EbYou'd (x43121@3)always get palmed off with a headless centre forward
      Bb (x1333x@1)                          Eb (x43121@3)           Bb (x1333x@1)Eb (x43121@3)Bb (x1333x@1)EbAnd (x43121@3)a goalkeeper with no arms and a face like his
         Bb (x1333x@1)                     EbAnd (x43121@3)he'd managed to get hold of a Dukla Prague away kit
        Bb (x1333x@1)                               EbCos (x43121@3)his uncle owned a sports shop and he'd kept it to one side
          Bb (x1333x@1)                       EbAnd (x43121@3)after only five minutes you'd be down to ten men
         Bb (x1333x@1)                                    EbCos (x43121@3)he'd sent off your right back for taking the base from under his left winger
    Bb (x1333x@1)                       EbAnd (x43121@3)come to half time you were losing four-nil
Bb (x1333x@1)                  EbEach (x43121@3)and every goal a hotly disputed penalty
         Bb (x1333x@1)                             EbSo (x43121@3)you'd smash up the floodlights and the match was abandoned
        Bb (x1333x@1)                        EbAnd (x43121@3)the dog would bark and you'd be banned from his house
         Bb (x1333x@1)                  EbAnd (x43121@3)your travelling army of synthetic supporters
         Bb (x1333x@1)                    Eb (x43121@3)               Bb (x1333x@1)Eb (x43121@3)Bb (x1333x@1)EbWould (x43121@3)be taken away from you and thrown in the bin
         Bb (x1333x@1)         EbNow (x43121@3)he's working in a job with a future
   Bb (x1333x@1)             EbHe (x43121@3)hands me my Giro every two weeks
    Bb (x1333x@1)                        EbAnd (x43121@3)me I'm on the lookout for a proper transformer  errr
