[Intro]~

[Verse]~
D A
I loved your home at Springfield
G Bm
And your chauffer-drive Jag
G D
But the afternoons at the yacht squadron
G A
Really are a drag
G A
Your country home at Aldgate
D Bm
Your horses and your friends
G A D Bm
The alcoholic sunsets,..!! the pleasure never ends
G A D Bm
I've just begun to notice the cold steel in your eyes
[Chorus]~
G A Bm
So I say to you goodbye
G A Bm
As she goes on asking why
[Verse]~
D A
I've spoken to your father
G Bm
he's a self made millionaire
G D
Do you know where his factories are!!..?
G A
Do you know who lives there!!..?
G A D Bm
In squashy little red-brick houses far away from here!
G A D Bm
They're ugly and they're all the same,..!! the neighbours live so near
G A D Bm
The way my famliy's living there you'd not believe your eyes
[Chorus]~
G A Bm
So I say to you goodbye
G A Bm
As she goes on asking why
[Verse]~
D A
Your brother's learning how to drive
G Bm
the jag in your back yard
G D
Your father sits and tells me
G A
about how he's worked so hard
G A D Bm
Your mother's introducing me with patronising grace
G A D Bm
To all her bridge friends in the salon,..!! little cakes and lace
G A D Bm
My mothers working nightshift now,..!! she's working till she dies
[Chorus]~
G A Bm
So I say to you goodbye
G A Bm
As she goes on asking why
[Interlude]~

[Verse]~
D A
Your fathers firm owns factories
G Bm
not far from where we stay
G D
The chimneys spewing thick black smoke
G A
Across the night and day
G A D Bm
The people live and work down there underneath that cloud of smog
G A D Bm
The kids' backyards are small and bare,..!! too small to keep a dog
G A D Bm
Dont tell me that they like it there,..!! thats certainly a lie
[Chorus]~
G A Bm
So I say to you goodbye
G A Bm
As she goes on asking why
[Verse]~
D A
Please don't cry,..!! you'll find a lover
G Bm
very soon I'm sure
G D
A gentleman who'll bring you roses
G A
and lay them at your door
G A D Bm
It's not because you're rich,..!! because you're not prepared to think
G A D Bm
The higher daddy rises,..!! the more his workers sink
G A D Bm
You won't wake up in time my lady,..!! you won't realise
[Chorus]~
G A Bm
So I say to you goodbye
G A Bm
