VERSE 1

             E                B
I could have put my head in a bucket full of porridge

    A                         E      B
And moaned about the hospital market scheme

E                  B
I would have saved fourteen pounds

       A                    E           B
That I just splashed out on your second album

A                    E

Bb  F       E

VERSE 2

E                                 B
If you're going to quote from the Book of Revelation

A                         E           B
Don't keep calling it the Book of Revelations

E                        B
There's no 's', it's the Book of Revelation

A                  E          B
As revealed to St. John the Divine

A             E
