INTRO:
Am A4 Am Am(9)
Am A4 F7M/G
Once there was a
Am A4 F7M/G
time, When my
Am/F# A4/F# F7M Em
mind lay on higher things
{as above}
And once there was a time
I could find pretty words to sing
But now, well now I find
It saves time to say what you mean
I know it seems so unrefined
but it's time to let off some steam
Oh come on!
F D7/F# Am Em
Everybody knows that No means Yes
F D7/F# Dm7/G G
Just like glasses come free on the N. H. S.
F D7/F# Am Em
But the more I look through them the more I see
F G(6) C
I'm becoming more like Alfie
Once there was a time
When a kind word could be enough
And once there was a time
I could blindfold myself with love
But not now - now I'm resigned
To the kind of life I had reserved
For other guys less smart than I
Y'know - the kind who will always end up with the girls
And besides
Everybody knows that No means Yes
Just like glasses come free on the N.H.S.
But the more I look through them the more I see
I'm becoming more like Alfie
Oh come on!
