Bb B/Ab Eb
Ever see a blind man cross the road
E/F Bb B/Ab E E/F
Trying to make the other side
Bb B/Ab Eb
Ever see a young girl growing old
E/F Bb B/Ab Eb E/F
Trying to make herself a bride
Gm F
So what becomes of you my love
Bb C
When they have finally stripped you of
Eb
The handbags and the gladrags
F Bb B/Ab Eb E/F
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
Bb B/Ab Eb
Once I was a young man
E/F Bb B/Ab Eb E/F
And all I thought I had to do was smile
Bb B/Ab Eb
Well you are still a young girl
E/F Bb B/Ab Eb E/F
And you bought everything in style
Gm F
So once you think you're in you're out
Bb C
'Cos you don't mean a single thing without
Eb
The handbags and the gladrags
F Bb B/Ab Eb E/F
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
Bb B/Ab Eb
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
E/F Bb B/Ab Eb E/F
And take a bottle full of rye
Bb B/Ab Eb
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
E/F Bb B/Ab Eb E/F
And bake them all in a pie
Gm F
They told me you missed school today
Bb C
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
Eb
The handbags and the gladrags
F Bb B/Ab Eb E/F
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
Oh oh
Gm F
They told me you missed school today
Bb C
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
Eb
The handbags and the gladrags
F Bb B/Ab Eb E/F
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
