           Daddy went off to work about 7:30 

              Am                   
           He put on his overalls and his working

           D7
           gloves 

                    G    
           He said "United drew again" to his cousin

           Ernie 

                      Am             D7
           And read a magazine about crime and secret

           And if it all sounds boring 

                            G
           If it all sounds boring 

                            D
           If it all sounds boring

           Mama went down the hill to the supermarket 

               Am                                  D7

           She brought back groceries in a carrier bag 

               G         
           She hung up her coat and then she put on the

           kettle
 
               Am                 D7            G    
           Sat down with a cup of tea and lit a fag 

                                D
           And if it all sounds boring 

                            G
           If it all sounds boring 

                            D
           If it all sounds boring 


                                                 C
           Then there's something wrong with the song

              G

                 G      
           Young Billy grazed his knee on a concrete 

           Em
           playground 

               Am      
           And answered "Yes, miss" when they called 

               D7
           his name 

                  G                          Em
           Auntie Mary rearranged her mantle pieces

               Am                    D7
           And sucked a peppermint before the rent man

           G
           came 
    
                                D
           And if it all sounds boring 

                            G
           If it all sounds boring 

                            D
           If it all sounds boring 

                                                 C
           Then there's something wrong with the song 

              G
           Or you 

           Or me 

           Or something
