                           Snookeroo
             Written by Bernie Taupin and Elton John
      Taken from the album "Goodnight Vienna" by Ringo Starr
                Transcribed by Petteri Jarvinen

D                 A
I was born in the north of England
      Bm                  G
I was raised in a working town
  D                          A
I broke all the rules when I went to school
        Bm                       G
But the teachers couldn't pin me down

D                  A
I tried to make my parents proud
    Bm                    G
By adapting to the social powers
   D                      A
Oh pigs will fly, and the earth will fry
          Bm                  G
When they get me doing honest hours

Bm
Snookeroo, Snookeroo
A
Daddy's going on the booze
Bm
Mother used to cut my hair
    A
And sister used to make the news

          Bm
Oh it was two rooms up and two rooms down
            A
And we were sentenced by the wrecking crane
      D           G      Bm
I was born on the eve of Halloween
    G                     A              D
And Snookeroo, Snookeroo, Snookeroo's my name.

D                 A
I need someone to cook for me
    Bm               G
And turn me loose at night
D                            A
I could spend my life with a factory girl
           Bm                G
'Cause the factory girl's my type

D                  A
I hear them gossip on the street
Bm                       G
Most of what they say is true
   D                     A
Oh don't you know that I hear them say
                Bm                  G
There goes that lazy, no-good Snookeroo

(Repeat chorus)
