The Beautiful South - Manchester

From N^Dorthernden to Partington it's r^Bmain From A^Gltrincham to Chadderton it's r^Aain From M^Doss Side to Swinton hardly S^Bmpain It's a p^Gicture postcard of 'wish they never c^Aame'

And whilst that d^Geckchair in the garden it makes no s^Dense It d^Aoesn't spoil the view or cause off^Dence Those F^Gloridas Bavarias and Ke^Dnts Make g^Aentlemen wear shorts but don't make g^Dents

So con^Dvertibles stay garage-bound Save ^Bmafter-sun for later If ^Grain makes Britain great Then ^AManchester is greater As you ^Ddry your clothes once again Up^Bmon the radiator ^GWhat makes Britain great Makes ^AManchester yet greater

From ^DCheetham Hill to Wytenshawe it's ^Bmrain ^GGorton Salford Sale pretty much the sa^Ame As I'm ^Dcaught without my jacket once ^Bmagain The ^Graindrops on my face play a sweet re^Afain

And as ^Gwinter turns reluctantly to ^Dspring For the ^Aclouds above the city there's one last ^Dfling ^GSwallows build their nests chaffinch s^Ding And the ^Asun strolls into town like long lost ^Dking

So con^Dvertibles stay garage-bound Save ^Bmafter-sun for later If ^Grain makes Britain great Then ^AManchester is greater As you ^Ddry your clothes once again Up^Bmon the radiator ^GWhat makes Britain great Makes ^AManchester yet greater

And the ^Gmood of this whole sodden place is ^Dmelancholy Like the ^Asun came out to play shone through the c^Dlouds but dropped its lolly And ^Geveryone looks so disappointed s^Do so sorry Like the ^Arain blew into town kidnapped the s^Dun and stole it's brolly

So con^Dvertibles stay garage-bound Save ^Bmafter-sun for later If ^Grain makes Britain great Then ^AManchester is greater As you ^Ddry your clothes once again Up^Bmon the radiator ^GWhat makes Britain great Makes ^AManchester yet greater
