[Intro]
Gmaj7  E7
[Strophe]
         Gmaj7           E7 
Call me morbid, call me pale
            Gmaj7             E7 
I've spent six years on your trail
Bm  A6   G 
Six long years
          E7     A 
On your trail
         Gmaj7           E7 
Call me morbid, call me pale
            Gmaj7             E7 
I've spent six years on your trail
Bm       A6          G              E7  A 
Six full years of my life on your trail
[Refrain]
            F#                        G  D  A 
And if you have five seconds to spare
           F#                       G    C  G6 
Then I'll tell you the story of my life :
D                   A 
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
F#                       Bm G 
   I went to London and I
   D                       A     F#m  F# 
I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A.
             Gmaj7                E7 
I said : "I like it here - can I stay?
   Gmaj7                E7 
I like it here - can I stay?
Bm            A6      G 
Do you have a vacancy
                E7    A 
For a Back-scrubber?"
[Strophe]
  
She was left behind, and sour
 
And she wrote to me, equally dour
 
She said : "In the days when you were
 
Hopelessly poor
 
I just liked you more..."
[Refrain]
            F#                        G  D  A 
And if you have five seconds to spare

[Strophe]
  
Call me morbid, call me pale
 
I've spent too long on your trail
 
Far too long
 
Chasing your tail
 
Oh ...
