Tom: Em

So I’m walking down the road and heading towards me
Is somebody I know, but not like a brother
He’s seen me, and we both realise
That we’re going to have to put into operation the tricky manoeuvre that is
Acknowledgment without breaking stride.
Em
So I keep my eyes fixed firmly on the ground, ‘til I get within ten or so feet away
With a nod of the head and a timely hello I can carry on walking, don’t wanna get talking
Rule number one – carry on walking and anyway I don’t know his name.

And if I were to guess I’d guess it all wrong and I’d be there for a long time.
G F

Bb G C D G C D G C D Em
Do you still drink in the Swan?

Inside back page, Radio Times “My kind of day” with the actors and actresses
I get up about six, and I have a cold shower, switch on “Today”, Vitamin C
Write some letters ‘til quarter past eight when Olivia takes Oliver to school.
It’s about an hour’s drive to Shepperton from ours
Em
So I go through the scripts in the back of the car
And if I get hungry I’ll eat a Multigrain Bar.
Weekends are good we can walk the South Downs as a family
But of course what most people never realise
Is that us poor actors are out of work
G D Em G D C
For ninety percent of the time.
G F
Yes, of course I must have missed you
