Richard Digance - Working class millionaire

^DPeople say to ^Bme what do you ^Emthink you’re gonna be When I ^Atells them I see laughter in their ^Deyes ^{D/G D/F# D/E} If you ^Dwants an expla^Bnation, I’ve ^Emfound me true vocation Though me ^Aanswer seems to take ‘em by sur^Dprise. ^{D/E D/F# D/G D}There ain’t no ^Ggood jobs to be found round Bethnal ^DGreen or Canning Town Bar a ^Bmcouncillor, a magistrate or ^Emmayor But ^GI just sit and ^Alaugh ‘cause I’d ^Dreally like not ^Bhalf To be a ^Eworking-class ^Amillio^Dnaire. ^{D/G D/F# D/E}

I don’t ^Dwant to be a ^Bclerk, a con^Eductor or a spark ^ALife’s too short for working, who knows ^Dwhere ^{D/G D/F# D/E} So I’ll ^Djust sit back and ^Bdream, forget the ^E‘ouses in-between And be a ^Aworking-class millio^Dnaire.

I’d have a ^Dmansion down in ^BBow where ^Emall me mates could go A ^Acarriage and a team of dappled ^Dgreys ^{D/G D/F# D/E} And on the ^Dlawn I’d have a ^Bseat for ^Emtired pairs of feet On ^Afolks that’s walked search of better ^Ddays.^{D/E D/F# D/G D}There’d be a ^Glion either side of the ^Dgateway to the drive A ^Bmstatue of Lloyd George would greet me ^Emguests And ^Gin the marble ^A‘all, goalposts ^Dpainted on the ^Bwall And ^Eother things the ‘ampstead crowd de^Atests.

I don’t ^Dwant to be a ^Bclerk, a con^Eductor or a spark ^ALife's too short for working, who knows ^Dwhere ^{D/G D/F# D/E} So I’ll ^Djust sit back and ^Bdream, forget the ^E‘ouses in-between And be a ^Aworking-class millio^Dnaire.

So now I’ve ^Dgot this palace ^Bgrand, it sounds like ^Emsomething down the Strand But it ^Aain’t, it’s down by Royal Albert ^DDock ^{D/G D/F# D/E} The ^Dboats sail in an ^B‘our and the ^Emword is passed about There’s a ^Awelcome at me mansion if yer ^Dknock.^{D/E D/F# D/G D}Yes, it’s the ^Gsimple life for me: that’s ^Dall I want, you see That’s ^Bmall the Cockney pride in me ex^Empects There’s ^Gnothing can com^Apare with an ^DEast End millio^Bnaire That’s used to ^Eliving just from one day to the ^Anext. ^{A/G A/F# A/E}

I don’t ^Dwant to be a ^Bclerk, a con^Eductor or a spark ^ALife's too short for working, who knows ^Dwhere ^{D/G D/F# D/E} So I’ll ^Djust sit back and ^Bdream, forget the ^E‘ouses in-between And be a ^Aworking-class millio^Dnaire.
