Breakfast In Mayfair

Intro: E  F#m  E  F#m

    E                F#m          
The world has surely lost its 
      A               E
head, the news is full of crimes
                             F#m   
There's robberies in The Telegraph 
            A              F#m
and there's murders in The Times
    A              B           D 
And always more obituaries and 
          A
even one of these
   E                F#m           
Concerns the brutal slaughter of 
   A             E     F#m  E  F#m
one old Miss Emma Keyes


    E                     F#m
The police have got their man, 
                   A           
they're sure, he never left the 
   E
scene
                    F#m            
Indeed, he raised a hue and cry, a 
A            F#m
most unusual thing

   A           B             D   
An arsonist, a murderer, his soul
              A
 will soon be frying
     E              F#m           
He's young but old enough to kill 
    A                 E    F#m  E
and not too young for dying
  F#m



       E             F#m          
Now it seems the populace will 
      A                E
queue to see him stand in court
                      F#m        
To hear him speak his wicked lies 
       A              F#m
while smiling at his thoughts
     A              B        
This arrogant young ruffian is 
  D         A
obviously guilty
       E               F#m         
Though nowhere does it say exactly 
A             E           F#m  E
how or why he killed her
  F#m



Instrumental (verse chords)


   E                 F#m          
Forget it dear, it's not the 
          A            E
first, there's bound to be another
                  F#m              
The way you carry on you'll have us
 A                   F#m
 thinking she's your mother
     A                  B         
This man called Lee has had his 
      D                A
day and soon he'll be forgotten
   E              F#m              
So put that paper down before your 
A                    E    F#m E 
breakfast goes quite rotten
F#m E
