[Intro]
N.C. (tab)
[Verse 1]
N.C. (tab)
I can think of nowhere
I would rather be
Reading morning papers
Drinking morning tea
[Chorus]
She Gclutches the tray
And then we talk just like a Dkitchen sink play
Nothing A#ventured, nothing Fgained
GLiving so close to danger
DEven your friends are strangers
A#Don't count upon their compaFny
[Verse 2]
N.C. (tab)
This is for the fingers
This is for the nails
Hidden in the kitchen
Right behind the scales
[Chorus]
GWhat do I care
I'm wasting fingers like I Dhad them to spare
Plugging A#holes in the ZuiderFzee
GPunishing Paul for Peter
DDon't ever trust those meters
A#What you believe is what you Fsee
[Organ solo]
G D C x4
[Bridge]
In my Gtown, there is a Draincoat under a Ctree
In the Gsky, there is a Dcloud containing the Csea
In the Gsea, there is a Dwhale without any Ceyes
In the Gwhale, there is Da man without his raiCncoat
[Verse 3]
N.C. (tab)
In another country
With another name
Maybe things are different
Maybe they're the same
[Solo]
G D A# F x2
[Chorus 2]
GBack on the trail
The seven soldiers read the Dpapers and mail
But the A#news, it doesn't Fchange
GSwinging about through creepers
DParachutes caught on steeples
A#Heroes are born, but heroes Fdie
GJust a few days
A little practice and some Dholiday pay
We're all A#sure you'll make the Fgrade
GMother of God, if you care
DWe're on a train to nowhere
A#Please put a cross upon our Feyes
[Outro]
GTake me
I'm nearly ready, you can Dtake me
To the A#raincoat in the Fsky
GTake me
My little pastry mother Dtake me
There's a A#pie shop in the Fsky
G(fDadA#e) F
