   C                     D
I put on my raincoat to make it rain

     Em                          D
and sure enough the skies opened up 
again

    C                  D
I dreamed of you as I walked to the 
shops,

          Bm                       
you were dancing with the wallies 
  Em
on Top of the Pops

C    C/B    D

     C                    D

moving the goalposts

        Bm

Continues after the ad
 Em
spread the news all over this land

Am
robin hood and his merry men

     D
are never never never coming back 
again

For the picking in the verses, use 
slow arpeggios, emphasising the bass

intro.
