                           Red Trousers


Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo

[Verse 1]
    G
I'm Tim, I'm also Tim and this old bugger is Giles (Hello!)
      Em
We're meeting up with Henry, three more Timmies and Miles (Good-o!)
    C
But how to spot each other when the crowd is so thick? (Uh-oh)
D
Don't you worry, Timbo, there's a very old trick
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
 
We're wearing
G
  Red trousers, so we're not hard to spot
 
We're wearing
Em
  Red trousers, and we wear them a lot
 
We're wearing
C
  Red trousers, as perhaps we have said
     D
From belt hooks down to turnups, we're all pillarbox red
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G
Another gin and tonic, please, for each of the Tims (I say!)
  Em
A Jägerbomb for Harry and a jugful of Pimm's (Phwoar!)
     C
Then next slip up to Twickers, where the totty will swoon
         D
With our lower limbs all slathered in a sea of maroon
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
 
We've all got
G
  Red trousers, and we're out on the lash
 
We've all got
Em
  Red trousers, also plenty of cash
 
And in our
C
  Red trousers, we will knock 'em all dead
          D
With self-confidence as total as our trousers are red
 
 
[Bridge]
 
G                         Em
Henley, Ascot, Lords, the Oval
                      C       D
Tim's dad's place outside the Yeovil
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
 
Still in our
G
  Red trousers, they're the last word in style
 
We love our
Em
  Red trousers, you can see 'em for miles
 
And in our
C
  Red trousers, we'll head back to South Ken
     D
'Til next weekend the Boat Race and red trousers again
 
 
[Outro]
 
G
Red trousers (Ooo!)
Em
Red trousers (Ooo!)
C
Red trousers (OoooOoOoOooo!)
D
Red trousers
                  G
Trousers that are red
