Primrose Hill by Loudon Wainwright III
Primrose Hill
(Capo 2)
[Verse]
C
Living on the side of Primrose Hill
F
Drinking cans of Tennants just can't seem to get my fill
G
Got a beat up guitar and a dirty old sleeping bag
F
And this mangy dog whose tail don't wag
C
Sun's been shining down on my hillside bed
F
That's not the only reason my face is so red
G
This nasty cut on my nose is not from no fight
F
I just fell down yesterday or maybe it was last night
C
I used to sing and play down in the underground
F
But a few years back they started cracking down
G
Now I'm living on the side of Primrose Hill
F
I'm no tourist attraction but I give them a thrill
[interlude]
C
Yeah I see you riding by on your flash bicycle
F
Yeah they can do you for that on Primrose Hill
G
A pretty young mother goes by she's pushing her pram
F
Her little baby leans out just to see what I am
C
From the top of the hill there's a hell of a view
F
Houses of Parliament and London Zoo
G
Those politicians all chatter they trumpet and roar
F
That must be what those hyenas all are laughing for
C
When you come up to London it sure is something to see
F
It's somewhere to go but it's no place to be
G
And there's two things keeping me from going 'round the bend
F
I got my music and this dog for a friend
[interlude]
C
'Cause life gets slippery when you're living on the side
F
Yeah I know I should quit drinking but I haven't even tried
G
My mutt's licking my fingers and I'm wetting my lips
F
I got a can of extra strong and a bag of chicken and chips
C
If I had a little money I'd get a few things
F
Like a bottle of vodka and a pack of new guitar strings
G
I guess I could die here on the side of this hill
F
I'm no tourist attraction but I'd give them a chill
C
And I'm living on the side Of Primrose Hill
F
Drinking cans of Tennants Just can't seem to get my fill
G
Got a beat up guitar And dirty old sleeping bag
F
This mangy dog Whose tail won't wag
