           C              G            A string: -2-3-2-0-
I see you shuffle in the courtroom with
                          D Dsus
your rings upon your fingers and       A|-----2-
      C            Em              <-  E|-0-3---
your downy little sidies and
      G/A?           D Dsus D Dsus
your silver-buckle shoes.

C                    G
Playing at the hard case,
                  D Dsus
you follow the example
        C            Em
of the comic-paper idol
      G/A?         D Dsus D Dsus
who lets you bend the rules.

                  verse two suggestions as above

Em                                      A          (A7) Em
 You put your bet on number one and it comes up every time.
Em                                            A           (A7) Em
The other kids have all backed down and they put you first in line.
Em                               C
And so you finally ask yourself just how big you are --
C                                              B
and "you" take your place in a wiser world of bigger motor cars.
Em ?
"And you wonder who to call on".

C/D D Dsus/ repeat (play the C as xx0010)
 

rest the same

So!  Where the hell was Biggles when you needed him last Saturday?
And where were all the sportsmen who always pulled you though?
They're all resting down in Cornwall --
writing up their memoirs for a paper-back edition
of the Boy Scout Manual.
