B B/A E
Ever see a blind man cross the road
E/F# B B/A E E/F#
Trying to make the other side
B B/A E
Ever see a young girl growing old
E/F# B B/A E E/F#
Trying to make herself a bride
G#m F#
So what becomes of you my love
B C#
When they have finally stripped you of
E
The handbags and the gladrags
F# B B/A E E/F#
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
B B/A E
Once I was a young man
E/F# B B/A E E/F#
And all I thought I had to do was smile
B B/A E
Well you are still a young girl
E/F# B B/A E E/F#
And you bought everything in style
G#m F#
So once you think you’re in you’re out
B C#
’Cos you don’t mean a single thing without
E
The handbags and the gladrags
F# B B/A E E/F#
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
B B/A E
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
E/F# B B/A E E/F#
And take a bottle full of rye
B B/A E
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
E/F# B B/A E E/F#
And bake them all in a pie
G#m F#
They told me you missed school today
B C#
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
E
The handbags and the gladrags
F# B B/A E E/F#
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
Oh oh
G#m F#
They told me you missed school today
B C#
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
E
The handbags and the gladrags
F# B B/A E E/F#
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
