"In The Wee Small Hours Of Sixpence" (Gary Brooker - Keith Reid) Intro:
C/ [drum fill] Verse 1:
In the wCee small hours of sFmixpence And the lCighted chandelFmier Stands a rDmusty Em old retFainer C Abdim [N.C.] C/G Whose old eyes are filled with tears
For his master, good Sir Gallant Who is now off to the wars And although his eyes are crying We know grief is not the cause Chorus 1:
And if grFief isF#dim not the rCeason He must Fbe of F#dimsterner stCuff And his swFord, though oldAm/E and rDmusty G /F /E /D Must be blunt as sharp enough
Verse 2: In the wee small hours of sixpence And the broken windowpane Stand the remnants of the evening Who are waiting all in vain For the crowing of the cockroach Sure as morning is not night But the air is filled with silence And the day bright is not light Chorus 2: But still darkness is no reason We are men of sterner stuff And our swords, though old and rusty Still are blunt as sharp enough Instrumental break [key changes to D]: D Bm D/A Bm / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / G Bm/F# Em A /G /F# /E / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Verse 3:
In the wDee small hours of Gmsixpence And the hDat stand in the hGmall Waiting oEmnly F#m for the mGorning D Bbdim [N.C.] D/A Shadows flitting 'cross the wall
And perhaps that old retainer Who now giving of his all May have once been just as we are And now has no face at all Chorus 3:
But still grGief wasG#dim not the rDeason He was mGade of G#dimsterner stDuff And his swGord, though oldBm/F# and rEmusty A /G /F# /E Still was blunt as sharp enough
