A Lilac Harry Quinn

G                     C
In this sumptuous hacienda
        G                          
Where I weigh things up as they’re 
           D
on the way down
       G                           
From beneath your Reverend Jim 
  C
Jones bedspread
            G                D    
I watch the angels look down onto 
           G
your sweet brow.
                           C
If God had meant for us to work
G                                 
Then I’m sure he would have given 
   D
us jobs
    G                              
Six weeks to live but at least I’m 
       C
not in Journey

Baby I’m from the Wirral peninsula
            C           D          
A merciless despot with nothing to

In my Dick Quax running shoes.
G              C            D   
Underneath the shade of the 
    G
average tree
                  C       D   G
Where they handed out mediocrity
                C        D        
I saw you with ‘Alchemy’ under 
  G
your arm
                C           D    
Standing in the middle of a long 
G
queue.

I saw the Goodyear airship sail 
          F#
over your head

I saw the joke I told you fly 
        F#
over your head
Bm                      F#       
Why don’t they have any badminton

 courts in the jungle?

Because there isn’t the demand, oh
