Squeeze Box -
-----------
(Townshend)
GMama's got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
And when Daddy comes home
He never gets no rest
'Cause she's Dplaying all night
And the Cmusic's all right
DMama's got a squeeze box
CDaddy never sleeps at Gnight
Well the kids don't eat
And the dog can't sleep
There's no escape from the music
In the whole damn street
'Cause she's Dplaying all night
And the Cmusic's all right
DMama's got a squeeze box
CDaddy never sleeps at Gnight
She goes Gin and out and in and out and in and out and in and out
She's Dplaying all night
And the Cmusic's all tight
DMama's got a squeeze box
CDaddy never sleeps at Gnight
G (slowly, finger picked)
She goes, squeeze me, come on and squeeze me
Come on and Dtease me like you do
I'm Cso in love with you
DMama's got a squeeze box
CDaddy never sleeps at Gnight
She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out
'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night
Imagine A Man Chord pattern : C C7 F Fm
------------- This song is finger picked - slowly
(Townshend) chorus: Bb C Dm Em F ... C
CImagine a man
Not a C7child of any revolt
But a Fplain man Fmtied up in life
Imagine the sand
Running out as he struts
Parading and fading, ignoring his wife
Imagine a road
So long looking backwards
You can't see where it really began
Imagine a load
So large and so smooth
That against it a man is an ant
Then you will see the end
You will see the end
Imagine events
That occur everyday
Like a shooting or raping or a simple act of deceit
Imagine a fence
Around you as high as prudential
Casting shadows, you can't see your feet
Imagine a girl
You long for and have
And the body of chalky perfection and truth
Imagine a past
Where you wish you had lived
Full of heroes and villians and fools
And you will see the end
You will see the end
And you will see the end
You will see the end
Oh yeah
Imagine a man
Not a child of any revolt
But a man of today feeling new
Imagine a soul
So old it it is broken
And you will know your invention is you
And you will see the end
You will see the end
You will see the end
You will see the end
Oh yeah
They Are All In Love
-------------------- D Em G A (repeat)
(Townshend) Chorus - G A
A% - same thing you so with D chord a lot
With your bottom finger on second string,
Do a 3,2,0,2
DWhere do you Emwalk on Gsunny Ati
Where do you fit in zzzzip magazine
Where the past is the hero and the present a queen
Just tell me right now where do you fit in
With mud in your eye and a passion for gin
And they're all in love
And they're all in love
Hey, goodbye all you punks
Stay young and stay high
Hand me my checkbook
And I'll crawl out to die
But like a woman in childbirth
Grown ugly in a flash
I'm seen magic and fame
Now I'm recycling trash
And they're all in love
And they're all in love
And they're all in love
And they're all in love
How Many Friends G D C A
----------------
(Townshend)
...
mes When the rivers gleam and the buildings shine How do you feel goin' up hallowed halls And the summer clothes brighten gloomy halls And Gthey're all in Alove And they're all in loveGI'm feelin' so Dgood right now
There's a Chandsome boy tells me Ahow I changed his Gpast
He buys me a Dbrandy
But Ccould it be he's Areally just after my Gas
He likes the clothes I wear
He says he likes a man who's dressed in season
But no-one else ever stares, he's being so kind
What's the reason?
How many friends have I really got?
A%
You can count 'em on one hand
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
(continue)
s?That Glove me, that Dwant me, that'll Gtake Dme Cas GI Aam?
Suddenly it's the silver screen
And a face so beautiful that I have to cry out
Everybody hears me
But I look like a fool now
With a cry and I shy out
She knows all of my friends
But it's nice to find a woman who's keen on living
Now I think I've reached the end
I wonder in the dead of night - how do I rate?
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?
It's all like a dream you know
When you're still up early in the morning
And you all sit together to watch the sun come through
But things don't look so good
When you could use a bit of warning
Then you know that no-one will ever speak the truth about you
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?
When I first signed a contract
It was more than a handshake then
I know it still is
But there's a plain fact
We talk so much shit behind each other's backs
I get the willies
People know nothing about their own soft gut
So how come they can sum us up
Without suffering all the hype we've known
How come they bum us up
How many friends have I really got?
You can count 'em on one hand
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?
