    	    	Вступление

[Intro]
G G A A
D D D D


[Verse 1]
G         A           D
- The gymnast, high above the ground,
G             A         D
- Limbers up and falls timber town
G          A              D
- Ankles splayed and all tied
G          Em  D    G
- The gymnast long has arrived
     Em       D       G
Lasy -- your long sister lays
        Em        D    G
Waiting out this long light brigade
            Em     D    G
Prayed for snow a long time
         Em     D    G
And lazy -- it long has arrived


[Chorus]
G
- Through the tarlatan holes
                                      C
You've been slipping, been slipping away
G
- And the weather will hold
                             C
It's been ever, so ever, so gray


[Verse 2]
     Em            G
And here as we're coming down
       C
We're sounding out:
       Cm                  Em
It's a terrible, terrible tide
D      G                C
As it lights upon your eye
     Em           G                  C
But there on the motorway, reeks of marmalade
       Cm                  Em
It's a chemical, chemical kind
       G                C
As it lights upon your eye...
 Am               C
Lights upon your eye


[Bridge]
    D  G  Em                 Bm
The bosun -- calls upon the quay
 D  G    Em                        Bm
Compass gone, he long has lost his way
    D     G    Em             Bm
To lighthouse shine, to calm tide
    D  G  Em          Bm
The bosun -- long has arrived


[Chorus]
G
- Through the tarlatan holes
                                      C
You've been slipping, been slipping away
G
- And the weather will hold
                             C
It's been ever, so ever, so gray


[Verse 3]
     Em            G
And here as we're coming down
       C
We're sounding out:
       Cm                  Em
It's a terrible, terrible tide
D      G                C
As it lights upon your eye
     Em           G                  C
But there on the motorway, reeks of marmalade
       Cm                  Em
It's a chemical, chemical kind
       G                C
As it lights upon your eye...
 Am               C
Lights upon your eye


[Outro]
Em     G      C
April marches on
Em     G      C
April marches on
Em     G      C
April marches on
Em     G      C
April marches on
