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
