     E     E/Eb             E           E/Eb
When I was ten I thought my brother was God
            A9
He'd lie in bed, turn on the light with a fishing rod
E           E/Eb                 E        E/Eb
  I learned the names of all his football team
            A9             Bsus4
And I still remembered them when I was nineteen
E  E/Eb  E/Eb   A9   Bsus4

E           E/Eb          E        E/Eb
Strange the things that I remember still
                A9
Shouts from the playground
                    Bsus4
When I was home and ill
   E      E/Eb               E           E/Eb
My sister taught me all that she learned there
             A9
When we grew up, we said
             Bsus4
We'd share a flat somewhere
A9  Bsus4    A9 Bsus4  A9  Bsus4        A9
When I was seventeen,        London meant Oxford Street

Where I grew up there were no factories 

There was a school and shops and some fields and trees

And rows of houses one by one appeared

I was born in one lived there for eighteen years

Then when I was nineteen

I thought the Humber would be
    E   E/Eb        E      E/Eb           A9        Bsus4
The gateway from my little world into the real world
               E    E/Eb           E       E/Eb
But there's no real world, we live side by side
    A9            Bsus4
And sometimes collide
When I was seventeen, London meant Oxford Street
It was a little world
I grew up in a little world
