E

Standing in the dock at Southampton

Trying to get to Holland Or France

E7

The Man In the Mac said

You gotta go back

you know they didnt even give us a chance

A

you know it aint easy

E

you know how hard it can be

B7

the way things are going ...

E

theyre gonna crucify me.

Finally made the plane into paris

honeymooning down by the seine

peter brown called to say

you can make it ok

you can get married in gibraltar near spain ..

you know it aint easy.... etc

Drove from paris to the amsterdam hilton

talking in our beds for a week

the newspapers said

whatre you doing in bed

i said we're only trying to get us some peace ...

you know it aint easy...etc

A

saving all your money for a rainy day

giving all your clothes to charity

B7

last nite the wife said

oh boy when youre dead

B

You dont take nothing with you but your soul

E

Think!

From: Harlan L Thompson

[final two verses corrected]

Made a lightning trip to Vienna

Eating chocolate cake in a bag

The newspapers said, "She's gone to his head

They look just like two gurus in drag" ...CHORUS

Caught the early plane back to London

Fifty acorns tied in a sack

The men from the press say "We wish you success

It's good to have the both of you back"...CHORUS
