Madness - In The Middle Of The Night
G Am Bm Am
Nice man george newsagent on the corner
G Am Bm Am
Not very rich but never any poorer
C Dm Em Dm
Jaunty old george a happy sixty-three
C Dm Em Dm
Not very tall but healthier than me.
G Am Bm Am
He whistles timeless tunes as he saunters down the street
G Am Bm Am
Springs in his legs and elastic in his feet.
Am E
But in the middle of the night
Am E
He steals through your garden
Bm F#
Gives your hosiery a fright
Bm F#
And doesn't say pardon.
Am E
As soft as a breeze
Am E
With an arm full of underwear
Bm F#
On his hands and knees
Bm F#
Dreams about the knicker scare.
G Am Bm Am
Hello there george newsagent on the corner
G Am Bm Am
How's the old caryes the climate's getting warmer
C Dm Em Dm
Chatty old george as you get your morning paper
C Dm Em Dm
Read about the knicker thiefunderwear taker.
G Am Bm Am
Bids you 'good day'as you wander out the door
G Am Bm Am
Never closes early always cleans the floor.
Am E
But when darkness hits the town
Am E
And there's washing on your line
Bm F#
Get your knickers down
Bm F#
Before the dreaded sign.
Am E
When the clock strikes eight
Am E
And you're snuggled up in bed
Bm F#
He'll be at the garden gate
Bm F#
Filling underwear with dread.
G Am Bm Am
Nice man george newsagent on the corner
G Am Bm Am
He was closed today maybe gone to mow the lawn
C Dm Em Dm
I had to go further down the road to get me current bun
C Dm Em Dm
Hello - isn't that george on page one ?
G Am Bm Am
No it couldn't be but yes it is
G Am Bm Am
Difficult to see from these photofits.
Am E
But they are after him
Am E
Of that you can be sure
Bm F#
They've called him on the phone
Bm F#
They've knocked on his door.
Am E
A-but he's gone away
Am E
Gone to stay with some mates
Bm F#
He got the papers early
Bm F#
And saw his own face.
Am, E, Am, E, Bm, F#, Bm F# (fading)
