Tom: C
C
[Verse 1]
C G
Down the lanes of foggy chimneys,
F C G
Through the little seaside town,
C G
Strides the east wind like a dragon,
F C G
Strewing leaves of ragged brown.
F C Am
Winter's planting icicles
Dm7 G
A-long the bar-ren shore,
F G Am
And the Punch and Judy Man is gone for ever
[Chorus]
C G F C G
Mr.Punch and Judy Man, time flows like the yellow sand
F C Am Dm G C
Bring me back the childhood land of summers long ago
[Verse 2]
C G
In the meadow by the river
F C G
Where the elm and willow stand
C G
Silver mist comes creeping down
F C G
To lullaby the sleeping land
F C Am
Through the bare and blackened branches
Dm7 G
Swallows fly no more
F G Am
And the Punch and Judy Man is gone for ever
[Chorus]
C G F C G
Mr.Punch and Judy Man, time flows like the yellow sand
F C Am Dm G C
Bring me back the childhood land of summers long ago
[Verse 3]
C G
Hear the ghosts of penny arcades
F C G
Jingle jangle on the pier,
C G
Gone the sound of laughing children,
F C G
Fading with the dying year.
F C Am
Songs and sunshine leave the world
Dm7 G
to winters weary ways
F G Am
And the Punch and Judy Man is gone for ever
[Chorus]
C G F C G
Mr.Punch and Judy Man, time flows like the yellow sand
F C Am Dm G C
Bring me back the childhood land of summers long ago
[Verse 4]
C G
Punchinello, Punchinello,
F C G
Where have you and Judy gone?
C G
Gone to join the swelling ranks
F C G
Of things that we look back upon.
F C Am
Memories can conjure you
Dm7 G
from dreams of summer days
F G Am
But the Punch and Judy Man is gone for ever
[Outro]
C G F C G
Mr.Punch and Judy Man, time flows like the yellow sand
F C Am Dm G C
Bring me back the childhood land of summers long ago
C G F C G
Mr.Punch and Judy Man, time flows like the yellow sand
F C Am Dm G C F C
Bring me back the childhood land of summers long ago
