  Dm                                      G       A
    In nineteen hundred and eighty six,
                        Am                                 G           Dm
    there’s not much for a chippie but swinging a pick.
                   Dm                              G            A
    And you can’t live on love, and on love alone,
                Am                                G                   Dm
    so you sail cross the ocean, away cross the foam.

             Dm                                G               A
    To where you're a Paddy, a Biddy or a Mick,
      Am                            G             Dm
    good for nothing but stacking a brick.
             Dm                                         G            A
    Your best mate's a spade and he carries a hod,
    Am                        G          Dm
    two work horses heavily shod.

 F    C     G        Dm                F               C           Am
Oh, I'm missing you, I'd give all for the price of a flight.
 F     C    G        Dm  F                  C       G
Oh, I'm missing you under Piccadilly's neon.

     Dm                             G             A
3. Who did you murder, are you a spy?
                     Dm
    I'm just fond of a drink, helps me laugh, helps me cry.
               Dm                                    G               A
    Now, I just drink red biddy for a permanent high,
       Am                               G         Dm
    I laugh a lot less and I'll cry till I die.

 F    C     G        Dm                F               C           Am
Oh, I'm missing you, I'd give all for the price of a flight.
 F     C    G        Dm  F                  C       G
Oh, I'm missing you under Piccadilly's neon.

    Dm                                    G                A
    All ye young people, now take my advice,
                  Am                                  G               Dm
    before crossing the ocean you'd better think twice.
                       Dm                                     G              A
    ‘Cause you can't live without love, without love alone,
            Am                                                  G         Dm
    the proof is round the West End in the nobody zone,

                      Dm                                 G              A
    Where the summer is fine, but the winter's a fridge,
                   Am                                         G                  Dm
    wrapped up in old cardboard under Charing Cross Bridge.
                 Dm                                G                   A
    And I'll never go home now because of the shame,
            Am                                G                Dm
    of a misfit's reflection in a shop window pane.

 F    C     G        Dm                F               C           Am
Oh, I'm missing you, I'd give all for the price of a flight.
 F     C    G        Dm  F                  C       G
Oh, I'm missing you under Piccadilly's neon.

 F    C     G        Dm                F               C           Am
Oh, I'm missing you, I'd give all for the price of a flight.
 F     C    G        Dm  F                  C       G
Oh, I'm missing you under Piccadilly's neon.
