JUST WHO IS THE FIVE O'CLOCK HERO? by THE JAM

A                  C#m/Ab
Hello darling, I'm home again
A/G                  F#m7      Bm
 Covered in shit and aches and pains
D                                  C#
 Too knackered to think so give me time to come round
D                                       Bb
 Just gimme the living room beat of the TV sound

Gm Bb Gm

A                             C#m/Ab
 My hard earned dough goes in bills and the lader
A/G                                    F#m7        Bm
 And that Prince Philip tells us we've got to work harder
D                             C#
 It seems a constant struggle just to exist
D                           Bb
 Scrimping and saving and a-crossing off lists

Gm Bb Gm

Eb                              D
 From this window I've seen the whole world pass
Eb                                D
 From dawn to dusk I've heard the last laugh laughed
    Eb                          C
I've seen enough tears to wash away this street
           F                         Dm      Gm
I've heard wedding bells chime and a funeral march
        Eb                 D
When as one life finishes another one starts

G Bm Em Am Cmaj7 B

C                               B
 From this window I've seen the whole world pass
C                                 B
 From dawn to dusk I've heard the last laugh laughed
    C                          A
I've seen enough tears to wash away this street
           D                         Bm      Em
I've heard wedding bells chime and a funeral march
       C                   B                       E
When as one life finishes another one starts

A                          C#m/Ab
 Alright then love so I'll be off now
A/G                                   F#m7
 It's back to the lunchbox and worker/management rows
D                                   C#
 There's got to be more to this old life than this
D                           Bb
 Scrimping and saving and a-crossing off lists

Gm Bb Gm
