On Preston platform
Do your soft shoe shuffle dance
Brush away the cigarette ash that's
Falling down your pants
And you sadly wonder
Does the nurse treat your old man
The way she should
She made you tea
Asked for your autograph
What a laugh

(strumming on lyrics, nothing fancy)
C D
On Preston platform
G G* E-
Do your soft shoe shuffle dance
C D
Brush away the cigarette ash that's
G A
Falling down your pants
C D
And you sadly wonder
G G* E-
Does the nurse treat your old man
D
The way she should
C
She made you tea
G
Asked for your autograph
G* E-
What a laugh
With:
G* : 200033 used for transition from G to E-
Extra fancyness (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzA7_qh3z_o):
- instead of plain A use either Asus4 (x02230) or A6 (x02222)
- when strumming D remove index or middle finger,
creating Dadd4 (x00032) or Dsus2 (x00230)
[Outro]
Mainly strumming on chords, with some variation (bass strings pulled
off and hammered back). Do your thing. The progression, just
after the last E- at the end of lyrics, is the following:
D Esus4 E-
D Esus4 E- Emadd11 E-
With:
Esus4 : 002200
Emadd11 : 002205
On Preston platform
Do your soft shoe shuffle dance
Brush away the cigarette ash that's
Falling down your pants
And you sadly wonder
Does the nurse treat your old man
The way she should
She made you tea
Asked for your autograph
What a laugh
