Laughs and jokes
C F
And drinks and smokes
C F
And no lights on the stairs
Am
We were young, so young
C F
And always broke
G Am F
Not that we ever cared
C G C
Not that we ever cared
G F
Well, the holes in the walls
C G
Were such a lot
F C
Welcome to London town
G F
But when you’re new to it all
C
And you think you’re hot
G F C
You’re not planning on hanging around
C F
People would go on their different ways
C Am F
I left to start a band
G F C G
A note came through the letter box
F C
In your childlike hand
Am
Oh, laughs and jokes
C F
And drinks and smokes
C F
And no lights on the stairs
Am
We were young, so young
C F
And always broke
G Am F
Not that we ever cared
C G C
Not that we ever cared
G F C
One day I rode to where you were
G F C
The doorbell jangled a note
G F
They buzzed me in
C
I climbed the stairs
G F C
In my boots and leather coat
C
There’s an old brass
F
Standing there at the top
C Am F
Without her witch’s broom
G F C
It almost seemed like a knocking shop
G F C
When the girls came out of their rooms
G F
And they all stood around
C
And stared at me
G F C G
Two brunettes and a blonde
F C
Then the old brass shrugged and said
G F C C
We don’t know where she’s gone
F
Later on I picked up the ball
C Am F
And I took off down the line
G F C
I suppose by then I’d realised
G F C
You’d run into hard times
Am
Oh, laughs and jokes
C F
And drinks and smokes
C F
And no lights on the stairs
Am
We were young, so young
C F
And always broke
G Am F
Not that we ever cared

(Am) C/G F Dm/A
My Saturday job pays six and six down
F
A copy boy at the Chronicle
Am C/G F Dm/A
Five cigarettes and two silver half crowns
F Dm/A
Meeting Vince at Mark Toney’s in town
F Am
Boy, do we get around

Basil sits there on the table for subs

But not a part of the Bri-nylon club

Ancient blue sweater, too old for the job

Bored out of his mind

With the Colins and Bobs
C/G FMaj7
I’m a jack and a lad
C FMaj7
And I’m up for the world

And I’ve kissed a Gateshead girl
(Am) C/G F Dm
He calls for a copy boy, grumpy as hell
F
Poets have to eat as well
Am C F Dm
What he wouldn’t give just to walk out today
F Dm
To have time to think about time
F
And young love thrown away
C FMaj7
I’m a jack and a lad
C FMaj7
And I’m up for the world

Starlings swarming a cloud

By one of his Players untipped cigarettes

Bury all joy

Put the poems in sacks

In the summer the fair

G
I came in three days early
C/G
To meet my boat
G Gadd9
It ain’t the life of Riley
Em7 C/G
But it’s keeping me afloat
G
It’s quiet over Christmas
C/G
If you got no place to go
G Gadd9
I got my home from river rats
Em7 CMaj7/G G Gadd9 G
The only home I know
G
I found myself a flophouse
C/G
And I hit the streets at nine
G Gadd9
Get some grub and drink a beer
Em7 CMaj7/G
Maybe go down the line
G
These chips will take your money
C/G
Shake a young man down
G Gadd9
It’s the same in every one of these
Em7 C/G
Sorry river towns

Well I picked me up a bottle
G CMaj7/G
To take back to the room
G Gadd9
Then I saw a young girl standing
Em7 C/G
In a doorway in the gloom
G Gadd9
We’d hardly started talking
G C/G
The old scenario
G Gadd9
And I just let her work me over
Em7 C/G
Down by the Ohio
G Gadd9
River towns

When I asked her if she’d like to stay
C/G
She was down my stairs so quick
G
I never asked what got her started
Em7 C/G
With the sorry river tricks
G Gadd9
So I get the bottle open
G C/G
But something’s hit a nerve
G Gadd9
And I’m looking in the mirror
Em7 CMaj7/G
At the face that I deserve

11. Wherever I Go
Key: B Major
Time: 4/4
To play without capo hit transpose button to +4 (not recommended, buy a capo!).
As it often happens with mainly piano songs, chord voicings are quite varied.
Some guitar chords are crucial, though, and played through the song identically.
Basically, you can always simplify fancy chords to first letter (e.g. Cadd9 to C).
CAPO: 4
G5.....................[3x00xx]
Cadd9..................[x32033] or simplify to C
