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.
