Ba by.

Once I was a (Bb)young man, cross the road and all I thought I tryin’ to had make to the do was smile.

You are er still a young girl, grow in’ old

and you bought ev make ’ry thing a in style.

And once you think you’re you, (Eb)in you’re out, love,

’cause you don’t have mean a (C)sin gle of thing with out

the (Eb)hand bags and the glad rags that you burned that I had to sweat so you could buy.

Mm.

Sing a song of (Bb7)six pence for your sake

and take a bot tle full of (Bb)rye.

Four and twen ty (Bb7)black birds in a (Eb)cake

and bake (F7)them all in a (Bb)pie.

They told me you missed (F)school

to day,

so what I sug gest is just (C7)throw them all a way,

the (Eb)hand bags and the glad rags that you (F7sus)pour o ver and that I had to sweat to buy.

(Ebmaj7)Oh.

(F7sus)pour o ver and that I had to sweat to buy you.

(Bb)Hmm.
