Snookeroo

D                 A
I was born in the north of England
      Bm                  G
I was raised in a working town
  D                          A
I broke all the rules when I went to
 school
        Bm                      
But the teachers couldn't pin me 
 G
down

D                  A
I tried to make my parents proud
    Bm                    G
By adapting to the social powers
   D                      A
Oh pigs will fly, and the earth will
 fry
          Bm                  G
When they get me doing honest hours

Bm
Snookeroo, Snookeroo
Continues after the ad
A
Daddy's going on the booze
Bm
Mother used to cut my hair
    A
And sister used to make the news

          Bm
Oh it was two rooms up and two rooms
 down
            A
And we were sentenced by the 
wrecking crane
      D           G      Bm
I was born on the eve of Halloween
    G                    
And Snookeroo, Snookeroo, 
 A              D
Snookeroo's my name.

D                 A
I need someone to cook for me
    Bm               G
And turn me loose at night
D                            A
I could spend my life with a factory
 girl
           Bm                G
'Cause the factory girl's my type

D                  A
I hear them gossip on the street
Bm                       G
Most of what they say is true
   D                     A
Oh don't you know that I hear them 
say
                Bm           
There goes that lazy, no-good 
       G
Snookeroo

(Repeat chorus)
