Verse 1
Well (A minor) we were heroes then,
And the girls were all pretty
And a uniform was a lucky charm, (F sharp minor)
(F major) Bought you the key (E major) to the city (A minor)
We used to dance the
whole night through
While Al Bowlly sang (F major) "The
Very (B flat major) Thought Of You"
(A minor) Now Bowlly's in heaven
and (E major) I'm in limbo (A minor) now
Verse 2
Well (A minor) I gave my youth to king
and country (E minor) (A minor)
But what's my country done for me
(F sharp minor) But (F major) sentenced me to (E major) misery
(C major) I traded (G major) my (D major) helmet (E major)
(A minor) and my parachute
For a (F major) pair of crutches (G major) (F major) and a (B flat major) demob suit
Al (A minor) Bowlly's in heaven and (E major)
I'm in limbo (A minor) now
(G major)

Verse 3
(C major)
(D minor) Hard times, (E minor) hard hard times (D minor)
(E minor) Hostels and mis (F major) sions and
(A minor) dosser's soup lines
(C major) Can't close me eye (D minor) s on
a bench (E minor) or a bed (F major)
For the (A minor) sound of some (D minor) battle
raging (A minor) in my head
Verse 4
Old friends, (A minor) you lose so many
You get run around, all over town
The wear (F major) and the tear,
Oh it (E major) just drives you down (A minor)
(G major) St (D major) Mungo's (G major) with its
(A minor) dirty old (E major) sheet (A minor) s
Beats (F major) standing all day
Down on (B flat major) Scarborough Street
Al (A minor) (F sharp minor) Bowlly's in heav (A minor) en and (B minor) (E major) I'm in (A minor) limbo now

Verse 5
(E minor) got to foot-slog
Once (D minor) (E minor) Once in a blue (F major) moon
you (A minor) might find a job
Sleep (C major) in the rain,
(D minor) you (E minor) sleep in the snow (F major)
When the (A minor) beds are all (D minor) taken
You've got nowhere (A minor) to go
Verse 6
Well I can see (A minor) me now,
I'm back there on the dance floor
Oh with a blonde on me arm,
red-head to to spare
(F major) Spit on my shoes and shine in (E major) me hair
(A minor) And there's (C major) Al (A minor)
Bowlly, he's up on a stand (C major)
Oh (F major) that was a voice (A minor)
and that was a band (F major) (B flat major)
(A minor) Al Bowlly's in (F major) heaven and
(E major) I'm in limbo (A minor) (E major) now
