[Intro]
Em  D  C  x3
 
[Verse 1]
G         D         C
  Please send me a sign
           G               B
And set me up against the lane
             Em       D      C
And give me something I can trust
            D
In all the drama and change
 
[Verse 2]
G    D          C
  I followed a dream
          G              B
And if a man is born to fall
             Em     D        C
Then let me live against my creed
             D
In all the filth of it all
 
[Chorus]
           C        G
And I can drink my whiskey and water
         B        Em
And fix folly and peace
               C
'Cause there's a price you pay 
    G                            D
To live this way, it's called ill at ease
 
[Verse 3]
G          D        C
  Please drop me a line
             G              B
And send me love and sun to boot
          Em   D        C
Cos I am idle drunk and well 
          D
Busy with nothing to do
 
[Verse 4]
G       D       C
  This battle is cold
           G              B
I have to make the grade alone
            Em       D      C
'Cause I have traveled far to find
          D
I need a room of my own
 
[Chorus]
        C
Where I can 
        G
Break habit with Fortune
     B                  Em
'Cause she's something to be
               C            G
She's spending Saturdays in Partick
         D
With the SSP
 
[Chorus]
       C          G
And I am charged guilty as sin
         B              Em
Because it hurts me to know
             C
That she is working so hard
    G                D
But for the joy of stock control
 
[Instrumental]
G   D  C  G  B
Em  D  C  D  C  G
 
[Chorus]
         G      D        C
But let me sing out to myself
            G                 B
And polish off these bottle cries
              Em       D       C
And send them down to Saville Row
             D
'Cause I'm not ready to die
 
[Chorus]
  G         D        C
But I, am ready to live
       G                B
Can I make it out with pride
          Em       D         C
Play the left wing let down king
               D
Put out with something to hide
 
[Chorus]
     C         G
And I can run to you for cover and 
  B             Em
We'll bury the dread
              C                 G
And when the time has come for leaving
        D
I will love you instead
 
[Chorus]
         C          G
Oh won't you sing something in minor key
 B                 Em
This stillness is bleak
             C              G
Oh could we dream away the guilt 
                 D
We have for the working week
 
[Chorus]
           C               G
And in the warm arms of a stranger I'm
 B           Em
Too happy to lie
              C              G
I know we've both been here before
                 D
Just please don't ask me why
 
[Chorus]
      C
And I have
        G
Walked here with you close to me
 B         Em
But never alone
                C                 G
But won't you cling to me in the major key
            D
All the joy I've known 
 
[Outro]
            C
All the joy I've known 
         G        C
Oh  the joy I've known
         G        C
Oh  the joy I've known
         G        C
Oh  the joy I've known
         G        C
Oh  the joy I've known
   G       C
Lalalala-lalala 
   G       C
Lalalala-lalala 
   G       C
Lalalala-lalala 
       G
Lalala la

I'm pretty sure this song is played half a step down from what is tabbed here.
