[Intro]
G Em A C
[Verse]
GPushing Through the Market Square
EmSo many mothers sighing
ANews had just come over
CWe had 5 years, left to cry in
GNews guy wept and told us
EmEarth, was really dying
ACried so much his face was wet
CThen I knew, he was not lying
GI heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
EmI saw boys, toys, electric irons and TVs
AMy brain hurt like a warehouse, It had no room to spare
GI had to cram so many things to store, Everything in there
[Chorus]
And all the Amfat-skinny people, C
and all the tall-short peAmople C
And all the nobodyG people, C
and all the somebody peopDle
I never thought I'd need so many people C
[Verse]
GA girl my age went off her head,
Emhit some tiny children
AIf the black hadn't a-pulled her off,
CI think she would have killed them
GA soldier with a broken arm
EmFixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
AA cop knelt, and kissed the feet of a priest
CAnd a queer threw up, at the sight of that
GI think I saw you, in an ice-cream parlour
EmDrinking milk shakes cold and long
ASmiling and waving and looking so fine
CDon't think you knew you were in this song
GAnd it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
EmAnd I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
AYour face, your race, The way that you talk
CI kiss you, you're beautiful, want you to walk
[Verse]
GWe've got five years, stuck on my eyes
EmFive years, what a surprise
AWe've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
CFive years, that's all we've got
GWe've got five years, what a surprise
EmFive years, stuck on my eyes
AWe've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
CFive years, that's all we've got
GWe've got five years, stuck on my eyes
EmFive years, what a surprise
AWe've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
CFive years, that's all we've got
GWe've got five years, what a surprise
EmWe've got five years, stuck on my eyes
AWe've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
CFive years, that's all we've got
