A G D E X3

[Verse 1]
A           G                   D     E                        A   G  D  E
 Ever see a blind man cross the road, tryin' to make the other side
A           G                  D    E                        A    G  D  E
 Ever see a young girl growing old, tryin' to make herself a bride

[Chorus]
F#m                  E           A                       B
  So what becomes of you my love, when they have finally stripped you of
    D                                   E                                 A  G  D  E   A  D  A  D
The handbags and the gladrags that your grandad had to sweat so you could buy      baby

[Verse 2]
A             G         D                  E               A    G  D  E
 Once I was a young man, and all i thought i had to do was smile
A                G          D        E                    A    G  D  E
 You are still a young girl, and you bought everything in style

[Chorus]
F#m                        E          A                     B
  But once you think your in your out 'cos you don't mean a single thing without
    D                                   E                                 A  G  D  E   A  D  A  D
The handbags and the gladrags that your grandad had to sweat so you could buy      baby 

[Verse 3]
A                   G              D         E                      A  G  D  E
 Sing a song of six-pence for your sake, and take a bottle full of rye
A                     G          D         E                   A  G  D  E
 Four and twenty blackbirds, in a cake and bake them all in a pie

[Chorus]
F#m                      E             A                          B        
 They told me you missed school today, so what I suggest you just throw them all away
    D                                   E                                A  D  A  D
The handbags and the gladrags that your poor old grandad had to sweat to buy
 
[Chorus]
F#m                      E             A                     B 
 They told me you missed school today, so I suggest you just throw them all away
    D                                   E                                A     G  D  E
The handbags and the gladrags that your poor old grandad had to sweat to buy ya
