Intro: C  F  C  G  C 

                 F          C 
I press my nose against the pane 
              G      C 
Of the little toffee shop 
                F       C 
Day after day I save my pennies 
                G      C 
To spend at the toffee shop 


     Dm       F       C 
Come Saturday morn at nine o'clock 
  Dm           F          G 
I stand on the cold stone street 
  Dm          F        C 
A penny every day that I have saved 
   Dm    G         C        Dm  G  C 
To buy myself some sweets 


                     F       C 
The nice little lady old and grey 
             G   C 
With glasses and shawl 
                   F           C 
Gives love away to good little boys 
          G        C 
Who do as they are told 


      Dm     F       C 
She's always telling stories 
Dm     F         G 
Of her childhood days 
Dm           F       C 
She couldn't buy the things that I can 
    Dm       G        C        Dm  G  C 
For families in those days
