  Ab                    Eb 
A doyen of topiary once told me 
     Ab                              Eb 
That one day he would like to grow a maze 
   Ab                              Eb 
It seemed to be quite logical that this should be his wish 
         Ab                             Eb 
And with that we both went our separate ways. 

     C                             Am 
They said you died at seven due to something in your head 
  C                              Am 
I asked the sister why it wasn't someone else instead 
  C                               Am 
Tonight I'll cry myself a bath of tears and ask the world 
            G                G7                        B E (x2) Ab Eb (x4) 
'Why is Rod Hull alive ' and getting paid as well?â?� 

Ab                               Eb 
Heard a Palace spokesman mention Sarah 
Ab                                        Eb 
Said she'd known the groins of Jacques Laffite 
      Ab                             Eb 
She's well prepared to be a standard bearer 
   Ab                          Eb 
As pure as unproverbial driven sleet. 

C                             Am 
Halfway up the Wrekin with an empty flask of tea 
  C                              Am 
A fog descends and takes away my visibility 
    C                              Am 
Yet in this Helen Keller state I'd still quite like to know 
            G                G7 
'Why is Rod Hull alive ' and getting paid as well?â?� 

      Am                E                   Am              E 
And I wonder if they'll bring back National Service and the birch 
      Am           E                  Am                         G        B E (x8) 
And I wonder but I doubt if they will ever bring back the Watney Cup.
