Harold The Barrel

Am                   Am7/G            Bbmaj7
A well-known Bognor restaurant-owner disappeared
           Am
Early this morning.
Am7/G           Am7/F            C
Last seen in a mouse-brown overcoat,
        D7
Suitably camouflaged,
    G         B7      E
They saw him catch a train.

  G#m                Eb
Father of three its disgusting
       G#m             Eb
Such a horrible thing to do
 Gm        F        A7                     Dsus4                D
Harold 'the Barrel' cut off his toes and he served them all for tea
         Gm  Bb A7 Dm/F
Can't go far,
           Gm
he can't go far.
             Bb              A7 Dm/F
Hasn't got a leg to stand on
            Gm
He can't go far.


     Am             Am7/G        Bbmaj7
I'm standing in a doorway on the main square
           Am7/G
Tension is mounting
           Am7/G             Am7/F
There's a restless crowd of angry people
C             D7
More than we've ever seen.
C            G       B7   E
- had to tighten up security
    G#m                   Eb
Over to the scene at the town hall
    G#m                  Eb
The lord mayors ready to speak
Gm      F                      A7
Man of suspicion, you can't last long
            Dsus4             D
The British public is on our side
            Gm   Bb A7 Dm/F
Can't last long,
               Gm
you can't last long.
                   Bb                                 Dm
Said you couldn't trust him, his brother was just the same
                Gm
You can't last long


   Fmaj7       Bbmaj7
If I was many miles from here,
   Fmaj7                  Bbmaj7
Id be sailing in an open boat on the sea
        Ebmaj7             Dm7
Instead I'm on this window ledge,
        Ebmaj7          Dm7
With the whole world below
Cm7        Bbm7
Up at the window
Cm7        Bbm7
Look at the window...

A         E

F#             Bm              Bm/A   Bm/G#
Were all your friends, if you come on down
     G
And talk to us son
         D      A
You must be joking
               E
Take a running jump


     Am                 Am7            Bbmaj7
The crowd was getting stronger and our Harold
        Am
Getting weaker;
 Am7/G                    Am7/F
Forwards, backwards, swaying side to side
C                 D7
Fearing the very worst
  C           G   B7           E
They called his mother to the site
G#m              Eb
Up on the ledge beside him
G#m               Eb
His mother made a last request.
Gm        F           A7
Come off the ledge if your father were alive
         Dsus4           D
He'd be very,very, very upset.
            Gm  Bb A7 Dm/F
Just can't jump,
                Gm
You just can't jump
                 Bb
Your shirts all dirty,
           A7                Dm
There's a man here from the B. B. C.
               Gm
You just can't jump

A          E
