(Capo on 5th to play along)
CDown to the agent's Gshop I'd go
I'd Cshoulder my Gbag down the DIrvine Road
Past the Ccouncil houses Grow on Drow
WhenG I was a Cpaper Dboy
With the CDaily Record and the GPeople's Friend
I'd go Cdown to the Gsunny sDide again
CUnder the bridge where the Grailway Dbends
WhenC I was a Dpaper Gboy
And my feet flew in the morning light
Racing the dawn as the sky grew bright
And everything in the world was right
When I was a paper boy
I'd walk the morning and the empty streets
Would ring to the sound of my own two feet
And I'd walk in step to my own heartbeat
When I was a paper boy
As the rain rolled down the back of my neck
I'd deliver the news of death and sex
Rhodesia, Speck and Malcolm X
When I was a paper boy
There's a crow in a treetop way up high
Hung as a warning left to die
And a moaning wind in the morning sky
When I was a paper boy
