[Intro]
A
[Verse]
A E F#m A
I’m going on the circuit, I’m doing all the clubs
Bm A E Asus4/G D/F#
And I really need a song boys to stir those workers up
A E F#m A
And get their wives to sing it with me just like in the pubs
Bm C#m D Bm E D/E
When I worked the good old pubs in Stepney
[Verse 2]
A E F#m A
Oh could you knock a line or two together for a friend
Bm C#m D E Asus4/G D/F#
Sentimental tear inducing with a happy end
A E F#m A
And we need a tune to open our season at Southend
Bm A D Bm E G Em D Em F
Ca_________n you help us
[Chorus]
F G
It’s hard to write a song with bitter fingers
C Am
So much to prove, so few to tell you why
F G
Those old die-hards in Denmark Street start laughing
C Am
At the keyboard player’s hollow haunted eyes
Dm Em
It seems to me a change is really needed
F G Em D Em
I’m sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das
F G
No more long days hacking hunks of garbage
C E/G# A
Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars
[Instrumental]
A
[Verse 3]
A E F#m A
I like the warm blue flame, the hazy heat it brings
Bm C#m D E Asus4/G D/F#
It loosens up the muscles and forces you to sing
Bm C#m D E Asus4/G D/F#
You know it’s just another hit and run from the tin pan alley twins
A E F#m A
And there’s a chance that one day, you might write a standard lads
Bm C#m D E Asus4/G D/F#
So churn them out quick and fast and we’ll still pat your backs
A E F#m A
‘Cause we need what we can get to launch another dozen acts
Bm A D Bm E G Em D Em
Oooo______hhh Are you working
[Chorus 2]
F G
It’s hard to write a song with bitter fingers
C Am
So much to prove, so few to tell you why
F G
Those old die-hards in Denmark Street start laughing
C Am
At the keyboard player’s hollow haunted eyes
Dm Em
It seems to me a change is really needed
F C G Em D Em
I’m sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das
F C G
No more long days hacking hunks of garbage
C E/G#
Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars
[Chorus 3]
F G C
It’s hard to write a song with bitter fingers
Am
So much to prove, so few to tell you why

Those old die-hards in Denmark Street start laughing

At the keyboard player’s hollow haunted eyes

It seems to me a change is really needed
F C G Em D Em
I’m sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das
