Key: G major
Verse 1
I had another job.
I was working in a market
selling fruit and veg
and I wrote most of the first album
behind that stall for those six years
on the back of brown bags.
And while I was in that stall one day,
it's a bit of a tragic story
but it became a celebration
of a kid's life.
D
A friend of mine I used to play football with came
G
in and asked us what time the trains were running
G
Bb
G
and I wrote this song once I heard that news
I didn't think anybody would ever hear the
song
I was just sitting on my bedroom floor
and this song kind of came out
and it was more
of a celebration about his life
and we told their family about it
and obviously it ended up
becoming our first single
so this is Local Boy in the Photograph.
