Em             C         
I  unpacked my troubles  
 
        D            Bm   
from an old safeways bag  
 
C          Am             D       
underneath Cardboard City lights  
 
          Em                   C       
these two charactors bought me supper  
 
         D            Bm    
and they gave me some fags  
 
    C         Am           D      
and I settled down for the night  
 
 
      Em           C      
and I dreamt I was drunk  
 
     D        Bm     
on a tropical ocean  
 
        C           Am        D        
sailing home to the missus in Kilburn  
 
    Em          C     
and there on mu bunk  
 
             D          Bm        
were all her letters of devotion  
 
          C            Am      
with some drawings and kisses  
 
D                  
from the children  
 
 
 
      Em              C       
And I dreamt I was an artist  
 
     D                   Bm     
like Toulouse-Lautrec or Manet  
 
C               Am         D       
drinking like a bastard in Madrid  
 
           Em             C       
instead of underneath the arches  
 
                 #     
with Flanagan and Allen  
 
C             Am                 D       
not a million miles from Chelsea bridge  
 
 
                                
And then I woke up from my dreams  
 
    D                    Bm       
the neighbours heard the screams  
 
    C                   
and all the stray dogs  
 
     Am             D      
were barking at the smell  
 
Em                     C          
those two scumbags had come back  
 
          D                Bm      
with some matches and some petrol  
 
C              Am              D        
set fire to my bed and left me burning  
 
   Em     
IN HELL!
