Ever see a blind man cross the road
C G
Trying to make the other side
G D C
Ever see a young girl growing old
C G
Trying to make herself a bride
Em D
So what becomes of you my love
G A
When they have finally stripped you of
C
The handbags and the gladrags
C Am D G
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
G D
Once I was a young man
C G
And all I thought I had to do was smile
G D
Well you are still a young girl
C G
And you bought everything in style
Em D
So once you think you're in you're out
G A
'Cos you don't mean a single thing without
C C
The handbags and the gladrags
Am D G
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
G D C
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
C G
And take a bottle full of rye
G D C
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
C G
And bake them all in a pie
Em D
They told me you missed school today
G A
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
C
The handbags and the gladrags
C Am D G
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
Oh oh
Em D
They told me you missed school today
G A
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
C
The handbags and the gladrags
C Am D G
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
