Petrol

(The chords above the line show the chords used in that line, in that order. Unfortunately, the soundcick software will not show them above the actual places where they change)

G D
When Petrol is ten pounds a gallon

D G
A wonderful life there will be

G C
I’m taking my shiny red motorcar

G D C
Tying it up to a tree

G D
There won’t be so many flash geezers

D G
Burning it up all day long

G C
There won’t be so many inhalers

G D C
To help us to live with the pong


D A7 C
Roller-skate, bicycle, flapping sail

D A7 C
Clipety, clopety, shiny tail

G D
I fancies a trip to the seaside

D G
But cos there’s no buses to find

G C
I’m strapping a sail on me old skateboard

G D C
With no destination in mind




G D
I’ll tack my way this way and that now

D G
And imagine the look on my face

G C
At the sight of the rolling armada

G D C
With a network already in place


D A7 C
Roller-skate, bicycle, flapping sail

D A7 C
Oceans of industry, save the whale





G D
When only the army has petrol

D G
And they may give the police a go

G C
I wonder who’ll run the black market then

G D C
When petrol is ten sovs a throw

Eminor D
I don’t mind the slide back to Camelot

D G
I’ll even supply my own bow

G C
The only thing I’ll never try to buy

G D C
Is petrol at ten bucks a go




D A7 C
Roller-skate, bicycle, flapping sail

D A7 C
Clipety, clopety, shiny tail

D A7 C
Roller skate, bicycle, flapping sail

D A7 C
Oceans of energy, save the whale
