Venus In Flares

  C
A million housewives every day
G                C
Pick up a can of beans and say
“What an amazing example of 
G        C       C G C   C C G C
synchronisation”.

He looked out of the aeroplane
       G                G
And he saw the Alps way down below

He fixed his gaze on the white 
terrain
              G              C
 And he could see a portrait in the 
snow.
And he shouted: “Hey - look down 
       G                C
there, I can see Robert Powell”.
That’s an ominous example of the 
G         C
power of TV.


[Chorus]

           D7                 G
And I went la la la, la la la laaa
Continúa después del anuncio
D7                 G

 D7                   G
Oh la la la, la la la laaa
D7                                  
   G                             C C
 G C  (x4)
Just like everyone else does when 
they can’t think of any more words.


[Verse 2]

Yeah, OK I had a Kojak mac
   G                              
By Christ they were trendy at the 
C
time.
                             G     
I got it into my head that I had to
           C
 stamp out crime
                             G     
The man behind the mask at 
          C
C&A’s was quite polite
He said that when I wore my mac I 
G                C
wouldn’t have to fight.


[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

       F
Oh the Grand Old Duke Of York
                         G
Well he had ten thousand men
       F
And he marched them all to the top 
of the hill
                     G       C C G C
  (x4)
And he had them all again.
