The Winning Dream

G                             
It's early Friday moening i was 
  C             G
cycling into town
The front wheel was wobbling and the
 D
 mudguard hanging down
G                              
The two legs of me trousers were 
       C                G
tied up with bits of twine
and the pension book was telling me 
  D                     G
a pint would soon be mine


G                            C   
How ya, Mr Murphy? says the 
          G
postal clerk to me
                          D
Not too bad say I for a man at 
seventy three
G                                 
A fox came to me house last night 
    C             G
and stole me only duck
But a lottery tick she says "it 
D                    G
might change yiour luck"

[Verse]
G                                 
I took the little girls advise and
  C             G
 handed her a pound
Outside I scratched the ticket with 
  D
a penknife I had found
Well I nearly dropped me trousers 
    C                G
and grew a head of hair
                    D         
When I realised I was a bloody 
        G
millionaire

G                              C 
No more hay or turf to save, no 
              G
more feeding calves
One kick from my big boot and the 
D
bike was in two halves
G                                  
Well I headed for the local - sure 
C                G
I was feeling great
                    D              
And friends I never knew I had came
            G
 in to celebrate

[Verse]
G                            C   
Not long after that I had a new 
           G
suit on me back
A new red car outside the door and a
  D
 telephone on the rack
G                                 
The wife was wearing a blonde wig 
          C                  G
where her grey head used to be
And the wellington trcks had 
 D                               G
disappeared from just below her knee


G                           C    
I sat down admiring the new dress
            G
 that she wore
A brand new set of teeth she got 
D
installed the day before
G                                 
Well I held her oh so tightly like
C               G
 when I was a Groom
                                D  
And we looked rich and graceful as 
                        G
we waltzed around trhe room

[Verse]
G                                
But then I got an awful shock, I 
C                   G
thought I neary died
                             D
I spied me ugly missus as I opened 
up one eye
 G                                 
with rollers in her old grey head, 
     C               G
she nearly made me sick
                      D            
Get up and Milk the cows she said, 
               G
you raving lunatic


G                          C     
Twas then I realised that it was 
        G
all a dream
The cows were mooing in the fileds 
         D
and the cat was at the cream
G                             
Me bike was in the hedge and me 
   C               G
trousers had a shine
                             D   
Twas lovely while it lasted, this 
                 G
winning dream of mine
Twas lovely while it lasted, this 
C         D        G
winning dream of mine
