G                    Am     G                      D
Here comes The Black Horse,   there goes The Brown Cow
G                  Am      G                    D
Full of ringers of course,   thrown up from the plough
G                 Am      G                    D
The hoops and the stripes,  the halves and the quarters
Bm                 C   Eb                 D
The Sunday morning rain,  the touchline refrain:
             G                   C                   G                   C

Just walk away John, come on, just walk away John, come on

Just walk away John, come on, just walk away John because
             G                   D            G Am (x2)  G Am Em D (x2)
He’s on the ‘roids, he’s on the ‘roids.
G                 Am    G                        Am
It’s Lee’s twenty-first   but they’re not coming in
G                 Am   G                  D
Because Bruiser McHuge  declares them too thin
G             Am  G                  D
Annoyed and upset  they head for elsewhere
Bm                        C    Eb                  D
They’d normally argue the toss,  but besides being boss
             G                   C                   G                   C

Just walk away John, come on, just walk away John because

He’s on the ‘roids, he’s on the ‘roids.
G                        C      G                       D
He used to lark with the dreads, now he’s a nark on the steds
