Intro
G#add9 C Fm A#m D# G#add9 C
G#
That cold North wind they call "La Bise"
C7
Is swirling 'round about my knees
Fm A#m D#
Trees are crying leaves into the river
G#
I'm huddled in this French cafe
C7
I never thought I'd see the day
Fm A#m D#
When winter's here and summer's nearly over
C# D#
Even the birds have packed up and gone
G# C#
They're flying south with this song
G# C#
And my love, she too has gone
D#
She had to fly, take care
CHORUS:
G#
It's such a lonely sky
Fm A#m D#
They'll trap your wings, my love, and hold your flight
G# Fm
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
A#m
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
D# G# Fm A#m D# G#
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
G#
The old cathedral lights are low
C7
She and I, we'd often go there
Fm A#m D#
To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer
G#
Lords and ladies lying in stone
C7
Hand in hand from long ago
Fm A#m D#
Though their hands are cold, their love's forever
C# D#
Even the choir rehearses those songs
G# C#
For Christmas is not long
G# C#
And we may sing our song
D#
She had to fly, out there
CHORUS: (# fade towards end #)
G#
It's such a lonely sky
Fm A#m D#
They'll trap your wings, my love, and hold your flight
G# Fm
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
A#m
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
D# G# Fm
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky

Fly away, fly to me, and if you need my love

I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky

A# G7
Hello darling, this is the army,
Cm
I've just got the time to write,
F
Today we attack, there's no turning back,
A# D# A# F
The boys they're all ready for the fight,
A# G7
Yes, I'm well but this place is like hell,
Cm
They call it Passchendaele,
F
In nineteen seventeen the war must be ending,
A# D# A#
The General said this attack will not fail,
D# D
So I'm writing down this simple little melody
Gm Dm Cm D
When you play it my love, think of me...
Cm A# F A# Cm
We'll be together in this song for you,
F A# G7 Cm F A# D# A#
And it goes La la la...
F A# G7 Cm F A# D# A# F
Sing it darling, La la la...
A# G7
They got old Bill and the Sergeant is still out there,
Cm
Wounded in some shellhole,
F
They say this war will end all wars,
A# D# A# F
Oh God I really hope it will,
A# G7
Oh how's old England, are they still singing
Cm
Those songs that we loved to sing,
F
When all this is over, we'll go sailing in Dover,
A# D# A#
Catching fish like we used to with a string,
D# D
Oh I miss you, I miss you, I miss you so!
Gm Dm Cm D
If they get me my love you will know...
Cm A# F A# Cm
We'll always be together in this song for you...

03. Patricia the Stripper 3:30
Capo 5
G# C7
Dennis is a menace with his 'anyone for tennis?'
Fm G#7
and beseeching me to come and keep the score.
C# C#m
And Maud says, 'Oh Lord, I'm so terribly bored.
G# Fm A#7
I really can't stand it anymore.'
D#7 G# C7
I'm going out to dinner with a gorgeous singer
Fm G#7
to a little place I found down by the quay,
C# C#m
her name is Patricia, she calls herself Delicia,
G# Fm A#7 D#
and the reason isn't very hard to see.
G# C7
She says 'God made her a sinner just to keep fat man thinner,
Fm G#7
as they tumble down in heaps before her feet.
C# C#m
They hang around in groups like battle weary troops,
G# Fm A#7 D#
one can often see them queue right down the street.
C# C7
You see, Patricia (or Delicia) not only is a singer,
Fm A#7 D#7
she also removes all her clothing - - -
C# D# G# C# G#
for Patricia is the best stripper in to....wn.
D#7 G# F7
And with a swing of her hips she started to strip,
A#m D#7
to tremendous applause she took of her drawers,
G# F7
and with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips,
A#m D#
and threw it all in the air, everybody stared !
C# C7
And as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor,
G# F7
the police were banging on the door,
A#m D# G# C#
on a Saturday night in nineteen-twenty- f...our.
G# D#
Take it away boys!
G# F7 A#m D#7 G# F7 A#m D# G#
D#7 G# C7
But poor Patricia was arrested and everyone detested
Fm G#7
the manner in which she was exposed.
C# C#m
Later on in court, well, everybody thought
G# Fm A# D#
a summer run in jail would be proposed.
C# C7
But the judge said, “Patricia, or may I say Delicia,
Fm A#7 D#7
the facts of this case lie before me. Case dismissed !
C# D# G# C# G#
This girl was in her working clo.....thes !!”
D#7 G# F7
And with a swing of her hips she started to strip,
A#m D#7
to tremendous applause she took of her drawers,
G# F7
and with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips,
A#m D#
and threw it all in the air, and everybody stared !
C# C7
And as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor,
G# F7
the police were yelling out the door,
A#m D# G# F7
on a Saturday night in nineteen-twenty- f...our.
A#m D#7 G# C# G#
On a Saturday night in nineteen-twenty-four. Oh yeah !

06. The Painter 4:20
C
I'd like you to meet my last queen,
D G
Over there large as life,
C F
She's been hanging there for almost a week,
D G
My poor late wife,
C
What do think of the colour of her skin,
F
It has the bloom of a rose,
C
You see she begged me to bring a certain painter in,
D G
And for that picture in her bedroom she would pose,
F
Well after a while he was driving me mad,
C
As you could well understand,
D
Sitting in there, day after day,
G
With my wife in the palm of his hand,
C
It was "Madam please do this and Madam please do that",
G
You've never heard such display,
But he didn't mind he was taking his time,
G# A# C G
It was me that had to pay,
C
"Oh Madam I think we should take a walk in the woods,
G
You understand it's the light",
And did I mind, no, I was so kind when they,
G# A# C
Came back in the middle of the night,
G# A# C F C F
And I swear I'll take care of the painter, oh the painter,
C
Well as you can see it was hard for me,
F
But something has to be done,
C D
She only has eyes for him and his lies, and as for me,
G
Not a glance, not a single one,
F
My orders were severe and she disappeared,
C
It really was such a shame,
D
And when they told me she was dead I broke down and said,
G
"It's that painter, it's him, he's to blame,"
C
With his "Madam please do this and Madam please do that",
G
You've never heard such display,
But he didn't mind he was taking his time,
G# A# C G
It was me that had to pay,
C
"Oh Madam I think we should take a walk in the woods,
G
You understand it's the light",
And did I mind, no, I was so kind when they,
G# A# C
Came back in the middle of the night,
G# A# C F
And I hope it's the rope for the painter,
G# A# C F
When he's found, it's hellbound for the painter,

I'll get that painter...

08. The Tower 5:22
CFPO 5th - A beautiful ballad
G# - G#maj7 - C# - G#
G# G#maj7
1. F great lord came walking through the forest one morning
C# G#
with a weapon in his hand
G#maj7
rich was his castle, he lacked for nothing
C# D#
killing was his plan.
Fm Cm
When a white bird flew by, she fell from the sky,
C# G# A#m D# G#
nothing was found, only blood on the ground, she was gone.
G# G#maj7
2. Cursing his fortune, he turned to the forest
C# G#
to kill once again.
G# G#maj7
Standing before him was a lovely young woman
C# D#
with her head hung in pain.
Fm Cm
When he saw her, his eyes were filled with desire,
C# G# A#m D#
he said, "I must have her, she must be mine !
G# - C# - D#
She will be mine !"
G# G#maj7
3. He offered her silver, he offered her gold,
C# G#
but she threw it on the ground.
G# G#maj7
He fell to his knees and he begged her, "Oh please,
C# D#
come with me, what you wish will be found."
Fm Cm
She said, "Sir, I'll go if you'll put up your bow,
C# G# A#m D#
spare these creatures, leave them in peace.
C
You have no need.”
A#m D# G#
But her words were lost in the wind,
C# G# D#
his eyes were fixed on a queen.
Fm Cm A#m D# G#
And all he saw was a woman but all she was, was a dream.
C# D# C Fm C# G# D# - D#7
Ah ah, ah ah, la la la, la la la, la.
Fm Cm A#m D# G#
And all he saw was a woman but all she was, was a dream.
G# G#maj7
4. He took her and bound her with ropes tied around her,
C# G#
to his castle he did ride.
G# G#maj7
In a wood was a bower where stood an old tower,
C# D#
and he threw her deep inside.
Fm Cm
Then the birds left the sky and a terrible cry,
C# G# A#m D#
brought thunder and lightning, rain falling down,
G#
tears on the ground.
G# G#maj7
5. All through the days on her face he would gaze,
C# G#
for she was lovely as the spring.
G# G#maj7
No words would she speak but, “Leave them in peace!”
C# D#
And some sad lament she would sing.
Fm Cm
Oh, one day by the door, at the window he saw
C# G# A#m D#
a single white feather lying on the floor :
G# - C#
She was there no more.
D# G# G#maj7
6. Now that great lord is dying, his cold heart is crying,
C# G#
for the love of a girl,
G# G#maj7
for many an hour he has wept on the tower,
C# D#
for she meant more than the world.
Fm Cm
But once in the sky a white bird flew by,
C# G# A#m D#
he lifted his hands, he cried out in pain :
C
“Come back again !”
A#m D# G#
But his words were lost in the wind,
C# G# D#
his castle was built upon sand.
Fm Cm A#m D# G#
All he has is a memory, and all he yearns is her hand.
C# D# C Fm C# G# D# - D#7
Ah ah, ah ah, la la la, la la la, la.
Fm Cm A#m D# G#
All he has is this memory, and all he yearns is her hand.
09. Just Another Poor Boy 4:46
D# G# D# G# D# G# D#
D# Cm G# A# D#
He was but a traveller on the lonely road of life,
D# Cm Fm A#
she, her name was Mary, a lady of the night.
G# A# G7 Cm
She found him lying in that road, on a winter's night so cold,
Fm A# D# G# A# D# G# A#
just another poor boy, treat him ri.......ght.
D# Cm G# A# D#
She saw that he was hungry and gave him food to eat,
D# Cm Fm A#
she knew that he was weary and he had no place to sleep.
G# A# G7 Cm
She took him home to her own bed, she lay down his wounded head,
Fm A# D# G# A# D# G7
and washed away the world from his hands and his fee......t.
Cm A# G#
He was just another poor boy, just another poor boy,
D# A# Cm A# G# A#
when he cried out in his sleep she held him tight.
Cm A# G#
Just another poor boy, just another poor boy,
D# A# Cm A# G#
and she gave him love and comfort through the night,
Cm A# G# D# A# Cm A# G# D# G# D#
till the morning’s light.
D# Cm G# A# D#
At night she sat beside him, by the fire he would talk,
D# Cm Fm A#
he said all men were brothers and that love could conquer all,
G# A# G7 Cm
Many gathered round to hear, many for his life did fear,
Fm A# D# G# A# D# G# A#
in troubled times like these men seldom talk....ed.
D# Cm Fm A#
Oh, they came to him one morning at the breaking of the day,
D# Cm Fm A#
she woke to hear him calling as they carried him away.
G# A#
Accusing him of spreading lies and hate,
G7 Cm
his public meetings were a danger to the state,
G# A# C
some soldier said "Who was he anyway?"
Dm C A#
Just another poor boy, just another poor boy,
F C Dm C A# C
and the tears were falling from her face like rain.
Dm C A#
Just another poor boy, just another poor boy,
F C Dm C A#
and they hung him on the hillside far away.
Dm
And on the ground she lay,
C A# F C Dm C A#
do do do do do, poor boy, do do do do do.
Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm
Oh, my Lord!
C Dm C Dm C Dm A# C
Oh, my Lo.......rd! Oh, my Lord! O..h !
Dm C A#
Just another poor boy, just another poor boy,
F C Dm C A# C
and the tears were falling from her face like rain.
Dm C A#
Just another poor boy, just another poor boy,
F C Dm C A# C
and they hung him on the hillside far away.
Dm C A#
Just another poor boy, just another poor boy,
F C Dm C A#
and she never dreamed she'd see his face again !
