Аккорды Richard Thompson - Al Bowllys In Heaven

[Verse 1]
Dm
Well we were heroes then, and the girls were all pretty
                     F           Bb7                       A
And a uniform was a lucky charm, bought you the key to the city
F
We used to dance the whole night through
Bb7                       A7
While Al Bowlly sang "The Very Thought Of You"
Dm                       A7             Dm
Now Bowlly's in heaven and I'm in limbo now

[Verse 2]
Dm
Well I gave my youth to king and country
                      F           Bb7                     A
But what's my country done for me but sentenced me to misery
F
I traded my helmet and my parachute
Bb7                           A7
For a pair of crutches and a demob suit
Dm                        A7           Dm
Al Bowlly's in heaven and I'm in limbo now

[Chorus]
F      Gm7   Am7       Gm7
Hard times, hard hard times
F        Gm7               Am7           Gm7
Hostels and missions and dosser's soup lines
F       Gm7        Am7           Gm7
Can't close me eyes on a bench or a bed
Bb7                                       A7
For the sound of some battle raging in my head

[Verse 3]
Dm
Old friends, you lose so many
                              F
You get run around, all over town
Bb7                              A
The wear and the tear, oh it just drives you down
F
St Mungo's with its dirty old sheets
F                Bb7                          A7
Beats standing all day down on Scarborough Street
Dm                        A7           Dm
Al Bowlly's in heaven and I'm in limbo now

[Solo]
Dm   F   Bb7   A   F   Bb7   A7   Dm   A7   Dm

[Chorus 2]
F         Gm7         Am7        Gm7
Can't stay here, you got to foot-slog
F         Gm7        Am7            Gm7
Once in a blue moon you might find a job
F             Gm7      Am7          Gm7
Sleep in the rain, you sleep in the snow
                  Bb7                           A7
When the beds are all taken you've got nowhere to go

[Verse 4]
Dm
Well I can see me now, I'm back there on the dance floor
                              F
Oh with a blonde on me arm, redhead to spare
Bb7                              A
Spit on my shoes and shine in me hair
F
And there's Al Bowlly: he's up on a stand
F             Bb7                   A7
Oh that was a voice and that was a band
Dm                        A7           Dm
Al Bowlly's in heaven and I'm in limbo now
