I bought this glove a thou sand (F#)years a go
For some (Bsus)birth day or some Christ mas that has (Esus2)come and gone

It’s all a pro cess that is (F#)real ly quite pre cise A sort of (Bsus)se cret meth od known to ver y few
So, if you’re in the mar ket for pro fes sion al ad vice Well, to (Bsus)day could be a luck y day for you
