Verse 1
(C major) (G major) In the (C major) earli (G major) est (A minor) days of (G major) my
shoplift (F major) ing career, (E minor)
(D minor) You could (A minor) safely say I was (E minor) filled with (G major) fear.
It was (F major) nail biting work from the (G major) very start,
But (C major) several quick successes
soon (G major) gave me heart.
(C major) Af ter (G major) a (A minor) while I could (G major) pick
or (F major) nick or (G major) steal,
Some (D minor) shirts (A minor) some trousers (E minor)
(C major) and a few (E minor) (G major) (F major) LPs.
No- one ever stopped me,
they (G major) didn't seem to care.
It sometimes (C major) seemed to me that
there was (G major) no- one there.
Verse 2
(A minor) Then a fine summers day
my mates (D major) and me,
Set (A minor) off down the westend on
our (D major) usual spree.
(A minor) Things were as normal for an (F major) hour or so,
(G major) Then my nimble hands
were a bit too slow.
(C major) Two store (G major) detect (A minor) ives (G major) made
a fast approach,
(A minor) One grabbed my jacket
(you're nicked!)
(E minor) The other grabbed (G major) my throat.
So they (F major) caught me at last,
one said (G major) with joy:
"You'll have (C major) to do some time,
my light (G major) fingered boy!"

Interlude 1
(C major) (A minor) (G major) (F major) (E minor) (G major) (A minor) (E minor) (G major)
(F major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 3
If (A minor) only I'd remembered my
com (D major) mon sense,
They cap (A minor) tured me red-
handed with (D major) evidence.
If I (A minor) go to the manager
and (F major) say I'm sorry,
Maybe (G major) he'll forgive me for my
youthful (D minor) folly. (G major) (F major) (C minor)
Verse 4
But (C minor) what will (B flat minor) me social worker (C minor) say,
(B flat major) If I don't come home today? (C minor)
He'll give me (B flat minor) a clout! (C minor)
What if they don't let me (B flat minor) out? (B major) (C minor)
I told him I'm on me (B flat minor) own!
Don't (C minor) they understand?
(B flat minor) I'm from a broken home! (B flat major)
Verse 5
I'll (C major) tell them I'm the pro (A minor)
duct of a (G major) broken home,
And I (A minor) always went out (E minor) on my (G major) own.
(F major) Was it too late to say (G major) I'd pay,
And I'll (C major) never steal again
'till the (G major) end of my days?
Because (C major) I (G major) have no (A minor) friends
to call (G major) as such,
(A minor) Money and posessions I
(E minor) did not (G major) have much,
So I started (F major) to steal in (G major) order
to get by.
The quickness (C major) of the hand
deceives (G major) the eye. (C major)
deceives (G major) the eye the eye the eye...
deceives the eye
