chorus
C G
through the tarlatan holes you've been slipping been slipping away (la da dum dum)
C G
and the weather will hold it's been ever so ever so gray (la da dum dum)
Em G C
and here as we're coming down and we're sounding out
Cm Em D/F# G G/B C
it's a terrible terrible tide as it lights upon your eye
Em G C
but there on the motorway reeks of marmalade
Cm Em D/F# G G/B C
it's a chemical chemical kind as it lights upon your eye
Am C
lights upon your eye
outro
Em D/F# G G/B C
April marches on
