Capo 4

    Am                                E
Her name was Flora Spread and she lived on Hovis Hill
F                              Bb            E
Overlooking Baker Town from the window of her flour mill
    Am                                       E
The bright lights of the city fueled her longing to create
       F                               Bb                E
With the innovative bakers with whom she knew she could relate

    Am                     E            F                      Bb  E
She saw the cakes they cooked and the muffins that they made
      Am              E                 F                     Bb  E
But she kept on beating her bread, all the while feeling betrayed
         Am                E               F                Bb  E            
That her mother left her in this mess of yeast, flour and dough
    Am                  E                  F                       E      Am  G  D
She must taste inspiration and stop chewing the bread of woe
     Am       G  D
Woah-oah-oah

Am                       G
Down in baker town lived Victoria Sponge
    D                                        E
But her cakes just weren't selling so she knew that it was time to take
    Am                         G
A plunge into the new, and see things from a brand new view
     G                            E
"And yes young Miss Flora I am talking to you

      Am               E                 F                 Bb  E
Won't you come down that hill of yours and work here in my shop?
    Am                 E              F       Bb  E
You might have to bake until the ovens pop!
      Am        E          F    Bb  E
But I need your creative eye
Am      E         F            E
With my wisdom and your innovation
  Am              E       F               E    Am  G  D      
Together we can bake the Perfect Success Pie
           Am  G  D
Success Pie
      Am  G  D      E
Success Pie-ie-iee"

 Bread! BREAD!

Am   E   F   E

         Am                        E
After just one week in that shop, Flora's business was booming
    F                              Bb           E
Her creativity blooming and her customers consuming
     Am                          E
But looming, on the horizon, lay a rising problem
F                                   Bb                 E
People couldn't stop eating, and there was nothing that could stop them

Am              E        F                  Bb  E
What was once a people of pretty balanced diets
Am               E               F          Bb          E
Baker Town without its bread was revolution without riots
Am               E                  F                  Bb  E
Flora closed her shop down, but she knew it was too late
    Am                  E             F                 E        Am  G  D
And soon enough the population of the town was overweight
      Am  G  D
Overweight
    Am      G      D      E  F  E
Overwei-hey-yay - E-ight

 Bread! BREAD!

      A          Dm               A      Dm               A
And so, the very next day Flora went back to her mill 
    Dm                     A     Dm  G
And opened up her bread shop
        A        Dm              A           Dm                 A
But it seemed, to Flora's dismay that no one wanted her bread
    Dm                  A               Dm      G
And she was left alone up on the hilltop

D   F            G
 Victoria Sponge kept on baking
D     F                E           Eb
 With recipes she stole from Flora's notes
D    F              G
 And Flora's heart kept breaking
D       F              E              Eb          D
 As the cakes continued rising, and the bread became toast...
