Gmaj7          Em Em7  Bm7  A
Avast! They're leaving town two by two
Gmaj7       Em Em7         Bm7        A
As the rain pours down and we're all soaked through
Gmaj7       Em Em7 Bm7  A
And as they march away, two by two
Gmaj7        Em Em7      Bm7     A
It's like we need an ark for the rest of us

So I'll cut my hair short
         D                   Bm                   Gmaj7         A
And I'll make a flag from an old black dress that I'd have worn

If it hadn't rained so much that the
Bm                 Gmaj7         A
Seven hills became seven seas
         D             Bm                Gmaj7     A       D
And I'll sail my house from Broomhill to Walkley

Pretty Polly is a pigeon, she's got a gammy leg and she'll eat anything
            Gmaj7            Em Em7              Bm7          A
I've got an eye patch with a hole in cos I don't need to navigate by stars
                 Gmaj7       Em Em7              Bm7                  A
I use the road signs and the Arts Tower
G         Em         Bm7        A
