The Incredible String Band — Smoke Shovelling Song

Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

This is played in A on the record (with a capot, I think.)



[Verse 1]
D                            A
Last winter blew so cold no lies,
        D          E         A
And my fire smoke would not rise
D                       G        D
Soon as the smoke had tried to depart,
        G                       A           D
It'd be froze up harder than a landlord's heart.

[Verse 2]
D                                           A
I called up the police, yes and they came round,
   D                  E            A
Three days later and very brought down.
     D                        G        D
The sergeant he gave this hysterical croak,
        G                                       A               D
Says, "What do you think you have going here, some kind of a  joke?" (Of course I wasn't laughing)

[Verse 3]
D                                              A
He says, "You're causing us officers so much grief,
  D                     E      A
Why don't you give us some relief?
D                       G       D
Why don't you call the fire brigade?
      G                                                  A              D
Or maybe why don't you try shovelling the smoke up the chimney with a spade."

[Verse 4]
D                                        A
I borrowed a spade from the woman next door
    D                             E             A
And I broke up the smoke that remained on the floor.
G                                 D
I was shovelling away, till the closing of day
            G         A               D
and I was singing a smoke-shovelling song

[Verse 5]
D                                        A
After working so hard I went out to my yard
    D                   E          A
And I looked up to my chimney so long, (there was nothing to see there).
G                           D
Just a thousand foot high, way into the sky
        G       A              D
Was a pillar of smoke full of song.

[Middle 8]

               G        A                  D
There was an aeroplane stuck in it, but I didn't notice at first
            G           A            D
It was so cunningly disguised as a dragon.

[Verse 6]
D                                                                      A
Came the summer at last, though it was rainy and fast
      D         E      A
The pillar it melted away
G                                     D
The aeroplane fell with a big smoky smell
G                       D
And echoing around all over the town,
          G             A               D
Were the words of the smoke shovelling song.

[Middle 8]
     G                                                        D
And anyone telling a bigger story would have to be telling a lie,
     G                                 A              D
And anyone thinking a bigger one up, have to be very high.
