       F                         
On the bleakest day autumn could 
Dm
muster
     Bb                         
In a church to which they'll not 
   C
return
          F                    
I thought back to a time when I 
       Dm
could trust her
     Bb                         C
To a time when there wasn't John 
Byrne.
         Gm                        
And in a cruel twist of fate which 
   Bb
so often
  F                     C
Occurs in tales such as this
  F                       Dm
I found myself catering reception
               Bb            
And there were urges I had to 
   C
resist.

    F                             
Not least 'cos John Byrne is much 
Dm
fitter
        F               Bb        
And the straightener to him holds 
   C     C7
no fears
          F                A7     
So if the chocolate in the 
         Dm     F
fountain tastes bitter
       Bb               C           
  F      (as intro)
It's because it's been laced with my
 tears.
    F                       Dm
Celebrations were well underway when
    Bb                        C
Her father prayed silence and spoke
              F                    
He said "It's not like I'm losing a
 Dm
 daughter as..."
Bb                     C
(Violently starting to choke).
         Gm                     
And in a gesture which said "I'm 
      Bb
fast fading
      F               C
Could somebody dial 999?"
   F                    Dm
He valiantly toasted my capers
       Bb             Bb          
With a glass of what he thought 
   C
was wine.
       F              Dm         
It was gone half past ten before 
Bb            C
folk cottoned on
   F              A7         Dm    
(instr)
By which time I'd landed in Wick.
      F                         Dm
So if what's in the fondue's to die 
for
         F          Bb        
It's got nothing to do with the 
  C     C7
cheese
       F             A7           
And if what's in the punchbowl 
   Dm     F
seems lethal
       Bb             C    
It's because it's two-thirds 
       F
anti-freeze.
