Doreen chords by Half Man Half Biscuit

Intro:

C E F D7 G   C E F D7 G

    C
In the room with the sloping roof
E
In your director’s chair
  F
You talk with your hands
   D7      G
About what you will do next year.


  C
But no-one gives a toss
    E
And we all go to Europe
   F
Watch Alwin Schockemöhle
   D7    G
Where’er he competes.

 F  Bb  F  Bb
Doreen,  Doreen
 F  Bb  F  Bb
Doreen,  Doreen.


  C          E
The recreation ground by us

Don’t seem to have
 F
Many facilities
    D7      G
For the kids and the dogs.


   C
I submitted a poem
    E
To the council chambers
     F
But they just looked surprised
     D7     G
Like the front of an Anglia.


     C         E
There are no dark corners of cool relief
    F        D7  G
It’s a tragedy with few interludes.


 F  Bb  F  Bb
Doreen,  Doreen
 F  Bb  F  Bb
Doreen,  Doreen.


Instrumental:

C E F D7 G (repeat x4)

  C
The five-day breaks
     E
And the long weekends
    F
Give me plenty of time
      D7    G
To see the everyday things.


   C
I was faintly amused to see
E
Dutch veterans Alquin
F
Fooling around
      D7    G
On pleasure craft at Chester.


C
Walking up Scafell
E
Swinging a chain
 F
Along came a hosteller
 D7      G
I asked him his name.


    C
When he said he was Malcolm
  E
Of Arimathea
  F
My rejoinder was “Die,
       D7   G
You off-beat cabaret type.”


 F  Bb  F  Bb
Doreen,  Doreen
 F  Bb  F  Bb
Doreen,  Doreen.


Instrumental:
