Verse
D A
Down the lanes of foggy chimneys
G D
Through the little seaside town
D A
Strides the east wind like a dragon
G D
Strewing leaves of ragged brown
G D
Winter planting icicles
Em A
Along that barren shore
G A D
But the Punch and Judy man is gone forever
[Chorus]
D
Mr. Punch and Judy Man
G D
Please bring back my childhood land of summer
[Verse 2]
D A
In the meadow by the river
G D
Where the oak and willow stand
D A
Silver mist come creeping down
G D
and lullaby our sleeping land
G D
Through the bare and brackened branches
Em A
Swallows fly no more
G A D
But the Punch and Judy man is gone forever
[Chorus]
D
Mr. Punch and Judy Man
G D
Please bring back my childhood land of summer
[Verse 3]
D A
Slot machines and penny arcades
G D
Jingle jangle on the pier,
D A
Gone the sound of children laughing
G D
Fading with each dying year
G D
Through the little town he wanders
Em A
In the misty morning haze,
G A D
But the Punch and Judy Man is gone for ever
[Chorus]
D
Mr. Punch and Judy Man
G D
Please bring back my childhood land of summer
[Verse 4]
D A
Punchinello, Punchinello,
G D
Where have you and Judy gone?
D A
Gone to join the swelling ranks
G D
Of things that they looked back upon
G D
Memory can conjure up
Em A
those dreams of yesterday,
G A D
But the Punch and Judy Man is gone for ever
[Chorus]
D
Mr. Punch and Judy Man
G D
Please bring back my childhood land of summer
[Chorus]
D
Mr. Punch and Judy Man
G D
Please Bring back my childhood land of summer
