A real gem from "Punch the Clock." I noticed that nobody tabbed the album version, so I thought I'd try to figure it out. First tab; forgive me if it sucks. Key of: C Intro: Dm9 F G7 Verse 1:
The Cfamily circle gathers 'round from Amvery far and near To Cpass around the C7same remarks they pFassed away last year The lDmittle girl you dangled on your Emknee without mishap Stirs Csomething in your memory and Fsomething in your lap
Chorus:
But it's a Cliving This is the lAmife For the Cworld Gand his Amwife The Gworld F#and his Bmwife
Intro Verse 2:
The Ckissing cousins slip outside to Amcuddle and confess CShe says sweet notC7hing at all, it's mucFh more of a mess The cDmonversation melts like chocolate Emdown their open jaws CAs the juniper berry slips down jFust like last night's drawers
Chorus:
But it's a Cliving This is the lAmife For the Cworld Gand his Amwife The Gworld F#and his Bmwife
Bridge:
To Etell the truth our E7Mum ran off with Amsomeone else's father FWent for two weeks' Bbholiday in CTaramasalata EDaddy went out E7with the rubbish Fand he kept on walking FBetween Mum and the Bbwalls God only Bbknows who does the talkiG7ng
Chorus:
But it's a Cliving This is the lAmife For the Cworld Gand his Amwife The Gworld F#and his Bmwife
Intro Verse 3:
But lCater on in the evening through the Amtears and fol-de-rol Come the Csentimental C7feelings for the lFure of vitriol DmLonging thoughts go hankering for the Emold home overseas With a Cblindfold and a national anthem Fsung in different keys
Outro:
But it's a Cliving This is the lAmife It's a liviCng This is the lAmife It's a liviCng This is the lAmife For the Cworld Gand his Amwife The Gworld F#and his Bmwife (repeat until fade out)
