Guitar chords with lyrics


(intro) G Em C D (x4)

G      Em            C       D
I wandered around to the back of the petrochemical plant where they?d found Mr
G         Em C D
Gwatkin?s jacket in 1974.  Sleeves turned inside out
G             Em      C       D
With a tin of sweetcorn in each pocket. The rumours surrounding his disappearance
G          Em        C           D
Are many and varied. Though we should for the time being at least accept the version of
G             Em         C          D   G Em
Events given to us by the lamentable chap himself on his eventual return.
       C        D
In doing this however, we must also keep in our thoughts
  G         Em      C         D
The findings of better minds who conclude that Gwatkin as-is no longer
G     Em       C D  G Em C D G Em C D
Represents Gwatkin as-was.

G           Em       C             D
Piecing together an occasional vague sentence and some garbled chanting heard during the
G      Em          C           D
Small hours, it appears that our victim was making his way home from the Pessimist
G      Em           C       D
Festival in Mollington when he was set upon by a gang of miscreants, the
G          Em           C         D
Chief malefactor of whom was a particularly vicious character going by the name of
G     Em        C         D
Bridgedale. So called on account of a thermal sock with which he
G          Em            C          D   G Em C D G Em C D
Gloved his fist whenever he became tetchy and needed to punch somethink.


G      Em          C       D
Unable to comply with the rabble?s hot tempered demands for unreasonable
G       Em         C        D
Things such as cathedral juice and vicar shit, the heavily pummelled
G               Em        C      D
Innocent was dragged into the churchyard of St. Lawrence and there left to his own
 G         Em       C      D
Devices next to the grave of young Nelson Burt ? whose own tragic
G           Em       C         D G Em C D
Tale is of particular interest to the local historian.


G             Em        C      D
It is believed that within twenty minutes of this episode, a further attack was witnessed by
G    Em         C  D
One Slow Dempsey of Woodside Farm, who alleged that he saw the
 G          Em         C      D
Aforementioned Bridgedale scuttle a full four hundred feet along the Wervin Turnpike
G      Em           C     D G Em C D
To deliver a perfect Haymaker onto a stray colt.      This afternoon I
G       Em           C              D
Visited Daniel Gwatkin in the confined place which he will probably never leave.
G       Em        C    D
I was offered redbush tea and a fig roll. The pleasantry gave
G          Em          C         D
Hope for lengthy discourse but cheer was swiftly dismissed as the pitiful subject
G             Em        C          D
Proceeded to gaze out of a large window for what seemed like an age, before
G         Em           C       D
Turning around to fix me with pitch black sockets which simply said
G     Em C D  G          Em C D  Am Em C D
?Help me?.      Then came the song:


G   Em C     D      G     Em C D
Cresta!   What the fuck were we drinking?
G   Em C     D      G     Em C D
Cresta!   What the fuck were we drinking?

G     Em   C        D     G     Em     C       D
I write to people, they don?t get back to me. I write a second time, they don?t reply.
G      Em    C       D  G      Em  C     D
To ease the loneliness and pass the time I pace the room, inventing bands;
G   Em     C      D   G         Em    C        D
Experimental trio from Borehamwood ? ?Hall, Stairs and Landing?: they?re really good.
G    Em  C      D     G       Em  C      D
Scott Verplank did not get back to me. Newcombe and Roche, still no response.
G     Em    C     D   G       Em    C       D
Congolesi Unsworth, Glaswegian Runes, the singer?s granddad writes all the tunes.


G   Em     C      D  G   Em     C      D
Jodie Mudd, Jodie Mudd, Jodie Mudd. Jodie Mudd, Jodie Mudd, Jodie Mudd.
G   Em   C      D    G Em C D
Uh-oh Chongo! It?s Danger Island!


G    Em C     D      G
Cresta!   What the fuck were we drinking?
   Em     C      D
Jodie Mudd, Jodie Mudd, Jodie Mudd.
G    Em C     D      G     Em C D
Cresta!   What the fuck were we drinking?
G
Cresta!
