B       E
Overcoat
A        D  A
Old wool cap
B            E
Leather gloves
A        D  A
Hide the fat

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m                    F#m
In a world made of tears
C#m                    F#m
He is safe from his fears

[Verse]
B
On his own
B             E
He's on his own (on his own)
N.C.
He likes it that way
E    F#    G#    F#

[Verse]
B             E
Thoughts arise
A       D   A
Fear is doubt
B             E
Bearing through
A         D   A
Giving smell

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m                   F#m
It's the happiest day
C#m                    F#m
When he moves far away

B
From the crowd
B              E
The curious crowd

[Chorus]
N.C.
He wants them to
F#m    E        D         E       F#m
Stand back the old man's snoring heavy
F#m   E          D        E         F#m
Down underneath the bridge he's got his
F#m    E    D        E
Mansion of cardboard slats
    C#m    D   E
And it's enough

N.C.
Oohhhh


[lead break] (Repeat Verse twice during solo)

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m                  F#m
It's the happiest day
C#m                   F#m
When he moves far away

B
From the crowd
B               E
The curious crowd

[Chorus]
N.C.
He wants them to
F#m    E        D         E       F#m
Stand back the old man's snoring heavy
F#m   E          D        E         F#m
Down underneath the bridge he's got his
F#m    E    D        E
Mansion of cardboard slats
    C#m    D   E
And it's enough (x2)
