Key: F# minor

Intro 1

Verse 1
Em Em 
 
There was a time,
Am Am 
 
now very far away,
F#dim F#dim 
 
Em Em 
 
When we set up together, I        and she.
Am Am 
 
G# G# 
 
I got the brain, and she supplied the breast I saw her eye,
F F 
 
and she looked after me
C C 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
A way of life then, if not quite the best
And when a client came I'd
slide out of our bed
And treat him nice and go and
have a drink instead
And when he paid up,
I'd address him, sir
Come any night, you feel you fancy her
That time's long past,

but what would I not give
Bbm Bbm 
 
Fm Fm 
 
C C 
 
To    see that whorehouse
Em Em 
 
where we used to  live?
Am Am 
 
That was a time, now very far away
He was so sweet and bashed
F#dim F#dim 
 
Em Em 
 
me       where it hurt
And when the cash ran out,
Am Am 
 
the fappers really flew
Ab Ab 
 
He'd hop and say,
Fm Fm 
 
F F 
 
I'm going to pawn your skirt
G G 
 
C C 
 
Ab Ab 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
A skirt is nicer, but no skirt will do
Just like his cheek,
he had me very stewin'
I'd ask him straight to say what
he thought he was doin'
F F 
 
C C 
 
Then he'd lash out and knock
me headlong down the stairs
F F 
 
C C 
 
I had the bruises up and on for years
That time's long past
Cm Cm 
 
Fm Fm 
 
But what would I not give

Am Am 
 
That was the time, now very far away
Em Em 
 
Not that the bloody time seemed
F#dim F#dim 
 
Em Em 
 
to have looked up
Am Am 
 
When afternoons were all I had for you
Fm Fm 
 
I told you she was
Ab Ab 
 
Fm Fm 
 
generally booked up
F F 
 
G G 
 
Ab Ab 
 
The night's more normal here
G G 
 
C C 
 
than the daytime will do
And when a client came,
you'd slide out off a bed
And treat him nice and go and
have a drink instead
And when he paid up, I'd address him,
F F 
 
C C 
 
Come any night, you feel you fancy her
That time's gone by,
F F 
 
Fm Fm 
 
but what would we not give

I'm going do same on the other side.
