Handbags and Gladrags
[G] [F] [C] [D] [G] [F] [C] [D]
[G] Ever seen a [F] blind man cross the [C] road [D] Trying to make the other [G] side [F] [C] [D] [G] Ever seen a [F] young girl growing [C] old [D] Trying to make herself a [G] bride [F] [C] [D]
[Em] So what becomes of [D] you my love
[G] When they have finally [A] stripped you of
The [C] handbags and the gladrags
That [D] your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy [G] you [F] [C] [D]
[G] Once I was a [F] young man
[C] and all I thought I [D] had to do was [G] smile [F] [C] [D] [G] You are still a [F] young girl
[C] and you bought [D] everything in [G] style [F] [C] [D]
[Em] But once you think you're [D] in you're out
[G] 'Cause you don't mean a [A] single thing without
The [C] handbags and the gladrags
That [D] your poor Grandad had to sweat so you could [G] buy [F] [C] [D]
[G] Sing a song of [F] six-pence for your [C] sake And take a [D] bottle full of [G] rye [F] [C] [D] [G] Four and twenty [F] blackbirds in a [C] cake And [D] bake them all in a [G] pie [F] [C] [D]
[Em] They told me you missed [D] school today
[G] So what I suggest you just [A] throw them all away
The [C] handbags and the gladrags
That your [D] poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy [G] you [F] [C] [D]
[Em] They told me you missed [D] school today
[G] So what I suggest is you just [A] throw them all away
The [C] handbags and the gladrags
That your [D] poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy [G] you [F] [C] [D] [G] [F] [C] [D] [G]
