Dm
 My hands are stained with thistle 
milk
F
 And I can see what a fool I’ve 
been.
   Dm
My hands are stained with thistle 
milk
F
 Look at the state it’s got me in.

    Dm
The fire that burned inside of me
F
 Has sank rapidly into vacancy and 
chill
    Dm
And now my hours of happiness
    F
Are darkened by the thought they are
 passing towards nothing.

 Yeah, that was me down at Camber 
Sands

 I should have just got a job on the
 bins
F                         C
 The pay’s better and I’d know some 
hard blokes
F               C
 And I wouldn’t have to pretend
F                     C     
 That I know what ‘rhetorical’ 
          F Bb C
means.
