My Saturday [(Am)]job pays s[C/G]ix and six d

own[Dm/A]
A copy boy at the Chronicle
Five cigarettes and two s[C/G]ilver half crowns[Dm/A]
Meeting Vince at Mark Toney?s in town[Dm/A]
Boy, do we get around

Basil sits t[(Am)]here on the t[C/G]able for s

ubs
But not a part of the Bri-nylon club
Ancient blue sweater, too [C/G]old for the job
Bored out of his mind
With the Colins and Bobs

I?m a jack and a l[C/G]ad

And I?m up for the world
And I?ve kissed a Gateshead girl

He [(Am)]calls for a copy boy, gr[C/G]umpy as h

ell
Poets have to eat as well
What he wouldn?t give just to walk out today
To have time to think about time
And young love thrown away

I?m a jack and a l

ad
And I?m up for the world
And I?ve kissed a Gateshead girl

St

arlings swarming a cloud
Over Grainger Street
Over the black church
Over the Bl[C/E]ack Gate
And the shadowy [(Am)]Keep

He peers through his [(Am)]wire rims
At the f[C/G]ish and chip w

ords
He?s supposed to dish up and forget
His drudgery now has become slightly blurred
By one of his Players untipped cigarettes

Bury all j

oy
Put the poems in sacks
And bury me here with the hacks

In the summer the [(Am)]fair
Will stretch [C/G]over the M

oor
L[Dm/A]overs will lie and make out in the park
Basil puts on his old d[C/G]uffel and scarf
And goes out into the dark
