chorus

C                                                               G
through the tarlatan holes you've been slipping been slipping away (la da dum dum)

C                                                   G
and the weather will hold it's been ever so ever so gray (la da dum dum)

    Em            G                     C
and here as we're coming down and we're sounding out

       Cm                Em   D/F#  G      G/B       C
it's a terrible terrible tide as it lights upon your eye

    Em           G                 C
but there on the motorway reeks of marmalade

       Cm                Em   D/F#  G      G/B       C
it's a chemical chemical kind as it lights upon your eye

Am               C
lights upon your eye

outro

Em    D/F#  G       G/B  C
April       marches      on
