1.    Ever seen a blind man cross the road, 
      D5                        G5      - F5 - C5 - D5
    trying to reach the other side ?
G5                F5                 C5
    Ever seen a young girl growing old 
      D5                        G5      - F5 - C5 - D5
    trying to make herself a bride ? 
E5                      D5
   So what becomes of you my love,
G5                             A5
    when they have finally stripped you of
         C5
    the handbags and the gladrags
               D5                                G5     - F5 - C5 - D5      
    that your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you.

2.   Once I was a young man 
  C5                      D5              G5    - F5 - C5 - D5
    and all I thought I had to do was smile.
G5                    F5
    You are still a young girl, 
C5                  D5               G5    - F5 - C5 - D5
    and you bought everything in style.
E5                             D5
    But once you think you're in, you're out,
G5                             A5
    'cause that don't mean a single thing without
            C5
    the handbags and the gladrags
               D5                                G5   - F5 - C5 - D5
    that your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy.

3.    Sing a song of six-pence for your sake, 
                D5              G5   - F5 - C5 - D5
    and take a bottle full of rye.
G5                     F5              C5
    Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake, 
         D5                  G5   - F5 - C5 - D5
    and bake them all in a pie.
E5                              D5
   They told me you missed school today,
G5                                 A5
    so what I suggest you just throw them all away
         C5
    the handbags and the gladrags
               D5                                 G5    - F5 - C5 - D5
    that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy.
