Verse 1: 
C#m/Bm                    F#/E 
You and me got the whole day off
C#m/Bm          B/ATake (024242@1)a trip to Vincent Van Gogh
C#m/Bm                F#/E           A/G (302220@1)- Ab/F#
But the line went halfway round the park
C#m/Bm                         F#/E
And we're looking for a place to rest
C#m/Bm                   B/AEvery (024242@1)seat in every bar was set
C#m/Bm         F#/E           A/GSo (302220@1)we turned back to The Grand Hotel
Bridge 1:
Em/Dm            B7/A7
 And the rain came hard
G/F (120003@1)                         F#/E
A million people on a protest march

C#m/Bm     F#/E          A/G (302220@1)- Ab/F#
Wild conspiracies turn to dust
C#m/Bm                    F#/E
 Hear the sound of cathedral bells
C#m/Bm                   B/ACash (024242@1)ringing at the gates of Hell
C#m/Bm        F#/E                   A/G (302220@1)
And fairground hooligans push and swell

Chorus:
                   Em/Dm           B7/A7
They're the darkest days of a free men

Em/D (010000@1)                 B7/A7
Every temptation and device
     D/C (x30232@1)                 A/GAll (302220@1)the diamonds and the Spice
D/C (x30232@1)                       B7/A7
I would give anything for the sight
      E/DOf (020100@1)an honest man (Hey)

Eyes swim in emptiness
C#m/Bm                   B/AI (024242@1)was looking at a hotel guest
C#m/Bm        F#/E          A/G (302220@1)- Ab/F#
He blew me a big sarcastic kiss
Bridge 2
Em/Dm              B7/A7
And the Lord walked in
G/F (120003@1)                    F#/E
With a monocle and lips so thin
Em/Dm         B7/A7                   B/ASaw (024242@1)the barman wink as he poured his brandy
