Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Ever see a blind man cross the road

Tryna make the other side

Ever see a young girl growing old

tryna make herself a bride

So what becomes of you my love

When they have finally stripped you of

The handbags and the gladrags

( ) x2

That your poor old grandad had to sweat to buy you

(same as first verse)

Once I was a young man

And all i thought i had to do was smile

Well you are still a young girl

And you bought everything in style

So once you think your in your out

'Cos you don't mean a single thing without

The handbags and the gladrags

That your poor old grandad had to sweat to buy you

Sing a song of six-pence for your sake

And take a bottle full of rye

Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake

And bake them all in a pie

They told missed school today

So what I suggest you just throw them all away

The handbags and the gladrags

That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you

They told missed school today

So what I suggest you just throw them all away

The handbags and the gladrags

That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
