   F5           D5
   Call me morbid, call me pale

              F5             D5
   I've spent six years on your trail

   A5  G5    F5
   Six long years

           D5     G5
   On your trail


           F5           D5
   Call me morbid, call me pale

              F5             D5
   I've spent six years on your trail

   A5        G5          F5              D5   G5
   Six full years of my life on your trail



              E5                 F5  C5  G5
   And if you have five seconds to spare

              E5                       F5
   Then I'll tell you the story of my life :

   C5                   G5
   Sixteen, clumsy and shy

   E5                     A5 F5
   I went to London and I

     C5                       G5     E5   E5
   I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A.

               F5                 D5
   I said : "I like it here - can I stay ?

     F5                 D5
   I like it here - can I stay ?

   A5            G5       F5
   Do you have a vacancy

                   D5    G5
   For a Back-scrubber?"

   She was left behind, and sour
   And she wrote to me, equally dour
   She said : "In the days when you were
   Hopelessly poor
   I just liked you more..."

   And if you have five seconds to spare
   Then I'll tell you the story of my life :
   Sixteen, clumsy and shy
   I went to London and I
   I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A.
   I said : "I like it here - can I stay ?
   I like it here - can I stay ?
   And do you have a vacancy
   For a Back-scrubber ?"


   Call me morbid, call me pale
   I've spent too long on your trail
   Far too long
   Chasing your tail
   Oh ...
