[Verse]
G D
I loved your home at Springfield
C Em
And your chauffer-drive Jag
C G
But the afternoons at the yacht squadron
C D
Really are a drag
C D
Your country home at Aldgate
G Em
Your horses and your friends
C D G Em
The alcoholic sunsets, the pleasure never ends
C D G Em
I've just begun to notice the cold steel in your eyes
[Chorus]
C D Em
So I say to you goodbye
C D Em
As she goes on asking why
[Verse]
G D
I've spoken to your father
C Em
he's a self made millionaire
C G
Do you know where his factories are?
C D
Do you know who lives there?
C D G Em
In squashy little red-brick houses far away from here.
C D G Em
They're ugly and they're all the same, the neighbours live so near
C D G Em
The way my famliy's living there you'd not believe your eyes
[Chorus]
C D Em
So I say to you goodbye
C D Em
As she goes on asking why
[Verse]
G D
Your brother's learning how to drive
C Em
the jag in your back yard
C G
Your father sits and tells me
C D
about how he's worked so hard
C D G Em
Your mother's introducing me with patronising grace
C D G Em
To all her bridge friends in the salon, little cakes and lace
C D G Em
My mothers working nightshift now, she's working till she dies
[Chorus]
C D Em
So I say to you goodbye
C D Em
As she goes on asking why
[Interlude]
G Em C D x6
Em
[Verse]
G D
Your fathers firm owns factories
C Em
not far from where we stay
C G
The chimneys spewing thick black smoke
C D
Across the night and day
C D G Em
The people live and work down there underneath that cloud of smog
C D G Em
The kids' backyards are small and bare, too small to keep a dog
C D G Em
Dont tell me that they like it there, thats certainly a lie
[Chorus]
C D Em
So I say to you goodbye
C D Em
As she goes on asking why
[Verse]
G D
Please don't cry, you'll find a lover
C Em
very soon I'm sure
C G
A gentleman who'll bring you roses
C D
and lay them at your door
C D G Em
It's not because you're rich, because you're not prepared to think
C D G Em
The higher daddy rises, the more his workers sink
C D G Em
You won't wake up in time my lady, you won't realise
[Chorus]
C D Em
So I say to you goodbye
C D Em
As she goes on asking why
