So there he was then, Penzance to

play

Christmas Eve in a nowhere band
     D/F#  Em        D/F#    G
Now early morning Christmas Day
               D/F#           G
He’s hitching home to Geordieland

                 C   G     G/B    
Last night the snow came, just my 
 C/G
luck
             Em           Em/D    
And who the hell do you think you 
C/G
are
  D/F#   Em    D/F#     G
Climbing up into that truck
               D/F#            G
With your old bag and your guitar

              C  G/B  Cmaj7  D/F#
And you, you would-be vagabond
  D/F#

No-one invited you, you know
            Em     D/F#    G
Matchstick man, up in the dawn
                 D/F#             G
You’ve got five hundred miles to go

            C   G        G/B  
The driver now must drop off his 
    C    C/G
load
                Em          Em/D  
The snow still laying thick on the
   C/G
 ground
 D/F#      Em    D/F#      G
Leaves him on a high crossroads
              D/F#           G
Where he can see for miles around

             C G      G/B    Cadd9
The sun is shining, sky is blue
           Em                C/G
And everything is white and bare
 D/F#  Em              G
Not a car comes into view
                 D/F#       G
There’s nothing moving anywhere

                 C  G/B  Cmaj7  
And you, you would-be vagabond

No-one invited you, you know

Matchstick man, you speck upon
                D/F#              
These vast and silent plains of 
G   D/F#
snow
