Intro 1
(C major) (B flat major) (C major)
Verse 1
I can think of nowhere (C major)
I would rather be
Reading morning papers,
drinking morning tea:
She clutches (G major) the tray
And then we talk just like a
(D major) kitchen sink play
Nothing (B flat major) ventured, nothing (F major) gained.
(G major) Living so close to danger,
(D major) Even your friends are strangers
(B flat major) Don't count upon their company.
(F major)

Verse 2
(C major) This is for the fingers, (B flat minor)
(C major) This is for the nails:
Hidden in the kitchen, (B flat minor)
(C major) Right behind the scales.
(G major) What do I care?
I'm wasting fingers like I
(D major) had them to spare,
Plugging holes (B flat major) in the Zuider (F major) Zee.
(G major) Punishing Paul for Peter,
(D major) Don't ever trust those meters
(B flat major) What you believe is what you see. (F major)

Verse 3
In my town, (G major)
there is a raincoat (D major) under a tree.
(C major) In the sky, (G major) there is a cloud (D major)
con (B minor) taining (D major) the sea. (C major)
In the sea, (G major) there is a whale (D major)
without (B minor) any (D major) (C major) eyes.
In the whale, (G major)
there is a man (D major) without (B minor) his raincoat.
(C major)
Verse 4
In another country,
(B flat minor) (C major) with another name (B flat minor)
(C major) Maybe things are different,
(B flat minor) (C major) maybe they're the same.

Verse 5
(G major) Back on the trail,
The seven soldiers read the pa
(D major) pers (B flat major) and mail
But the news, it does't change. (F major)
Swinging (G major) about through creepers,
(D major) Parachutes caught on steeples
(B flat major) Heroes are born, but heroes die. (F major)
(G major) Just a few days,
a little practice and some (D major) holiday pay,
We're all sure (B flat major) you'll
make (F major) the grade.
(G major) Mother of God, if you care,
(D major) We're on a train to nowhere
(B flat major) Please put a cross upon our (F major) eyes.
Take (G major) me - I'm nearly ready,
you can (D major) take me
To the (B flat major) raincoat in the sky. (F major)
(G major) Take me - my little pastry
mother (D major) take me
There's a pie (B flat major) shop in (F major) the sky.
