Evening Of Swing Has Been Cancelled

Half Man Half Biscuit


Tom: F

 F                        C
I fell asleep amongst the boulders strewn between
       F                             C
Glyder Fach and Glyder Fawr and I saw in a dream
     F                        C
Your charmless associates in a stretch limousine
          F                 C
They were plunging headlong into a ravine
         Bb         C              F
And your evening of swing had been cancelled
     Bb         C              F
Your evening of swing had been cancelled
     Bb         C              F               Bb         C      F C F C   
Your evening of swing had been cancelled, your evening of swing. 
F                  C
Came the behemoth, seven score and nine
   F                                  C
To rescue all the children from their parents on the line
         F                            C
And they took them to a crash site, unfurled a ball of twine
    F                                  C
And tied a bunch of flowers around the speed limit sign
F                    C
No more the Multiplex stood in its stead
F                                C
Pleasure grounds with maze in the shape of a sled
    F                       C
And outside "The Gielgud" a neon sign read:
F                            C
"Equus On The Buses" starring Mr Ed
         Bb         C              F
And your evening of swing had been cancelled
     Bb         C              F
Your evening of swing had been cancelled
     Bb         C              F               Bb         C      (F C x10)
Your evening of swing had been cancelled, your evening of swing. 
      F                    C
And a plague fell upon the Retail Park
      F                C
And a storm broke over Henman Hill
        F                              C
And the christening party arsehole who hitherto had blurred
      F                 C
My conception of man as nature's final word
    F                          C
Was fleeing from the lava, his SatNav pleading thus:
F                                  C
"I'm not from round here mate, you should've got the bus"
      F                     C
Enter then a real rat pack, millions pouring in
     F                                C
And Ezekiel punched Dan Brown and the knights are drawing in
         Bb         C              F
And your evening of swing had been cancelled
     Bb         C              F
Your evening of swing had been cancelled
     Bb         C              F               Bb         C      F C F C F
Your evening of swing had been cancelled, your evening of swing.
