capo 3 — sounds 3 semitones higherIntro
G G/F C D X2
Verse 1
Ever seen a blind man cross the road
Trying to make the other side?
Ever seen a young girl growing old
Trying to make herself a bride?
Chorus
So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
D G G/F C D X2
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
Verse 2
Once I was a young man
And all I thought I had to do was smile
Well you are still a young girl
And you've bought everything in style
Chorus
So once you think you're in you're out
'Cause you don't mean a single thing without
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
Instrumental
Verse 3
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And drink a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake 'em all in a pie
Chorus
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
D C C/B G X16
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
D G G/F C D X2
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
