Fairport Convention - Breakfast in mayfair

The ^Eworld has surely ^F#mlost its head, the ^Anews is full of ^Ecrimes There's robberies in The Tele^F#mgraph and there's ^Amurders in The ^F#mTimes And ^Aalways more obi^Btuaries and ^Deven one of ^Athese Con^Ecerns the brutal ^F#mslaughter of one ^Aold Miss Emma ^EKeyes ^{F#m E F#m}

The ^Epolice have got their ^F#mman, they're sure, he ^Anever left the ^Escene Indeed, he raised a ^F#mhue and cry, a ^Amost unusual ^F#mthing An ^Aarsonist, a ^Bmurderer, his ^Dsoul will soon be ^Afrying He's ^Eyoung but old e^F#mnough to kill and ^Anot too young for ^Edying^{F#m E F#m}

Now it ^Eseems the popu^F#mlace will queue to ^Asee him stand in ^Ecourt To hear him speak his ^F#mwicked lies while ^Asmiling at his ^F#mthoughts This ^Aarrogant young ^Bruffian is ^Dobviously ^Aguilty Though ^Enowhere does it ^F#msay exactly ^Ahow or why he ^Ekilled her ^{F#m E F#m}

For^Eget it dear, it's ^F#mnot the first, there's ^Abound to be a^Enother The way you carry ^F#mon you'll have us ^Athinking she's your ^F#mmother This ^Aman called Lee has ^Bhad his day and ^Dsoon he'll be for^Agotten So ^Eput that paper ^F#mdown before your ^Abreakfast goes quite ^Erotte^F#mn ^{E F#m E}
