He Cpainted Salford Smokey tops,
On CDmardboard boxes from the shops.
And paA7rts of ancolts where I used to pDmlay.

cause he painCted kids who had nowt on their feet,
The clGothes he wore had all seen better Cdays,
Verse 2
CNow they said his works of art where dull,
No roDmom old lad the wall was full,
But LoA7wry didn’t care much any Dm- way,
They said he just paints cats and dogs.
And MaCtch stalk men in boots and clogs,
And LowGry said that’s just the way they’Cll stayG,
chorus
And he painted CMatch stalk men and Match stalk cats and Dmdogs,

And now he tCakes his brush and he waits out - Dmside them factory gates,
To paint his GMatch stalk men and Match stalk cats and dCogs, G
Verse 3
CNow canvas and brushes where wearing thin,
When LondDmon started calling him,

Is it Gtrue you’re just an ordinaryC chapG.
