                      C    F
True love will never fade
                      Dm   G
True love will never fade
                      C    F
True love will never fade
                      Dm   G
True love will never fade
                      C
True love will never fade


                          F
I wonder if there's no forever
                    C
No walking hand in hand
                     Dm   G
Down a yellow brick road
                    C
To never never land


                               F
These days I get to where I'm going
                       C
Make it there eventually
                      Dm        G
Follow the trail of breadcrumbs
                       F  G
To where I'm meant to be
                       C
To where I'm meant to be


                                  F
I don't know what brought you to me
                C
That was up to you
                         Dm    G
There's so many come to see me
                       C
Who want their own tattoo


                       F
I fixed a needle in a holder
                         C
Laid my hand upon your spine
                      Dm     G
And there upon your shoulder
                            C
I drew the picture as your sign


               Dm     G
When I think about us
                           C   Am
I see the picture that we made
                  F      G
The picture to remind us
                      F   G
True love will never fade
                      C   F
True love will never fade
                      Dm   G
True love will never fade
                      C
True love will never fade


C / F / F / C / C / Dm / G / C
                     

                          F
I worked the rowdies and daytrippers
                         C
Now and then I think of you
                          Dm      G
Any which way we're all shufflin'
                C
Forward in the queue


                         F
They like to move my operation
                             C
They like to get me off the pier
                       Dm    G
And I dream I'm on a steamer
                C
Pullin' out of here


               Dm     G
When I think about us
                         C    Am
I see a picture that we made
                  F      G
The picture to remind us
                      F    G
True love will never fade
                      C   F
True love will never fade
                      Dm   G
True love will never fade
                      C    F
True love will never fade
                      Dm   G
True love will never fade

True love will never fade

                  C7add11
The scaffolder’s wife
                    C
driving out of the yard
                       F
with a face that’s as hard
                   C
as a scaffolder’s bar -
                    G
when she goes into town
                        E
she might take the top down
        Am  D  Am
on the car
  

                   C7add11
The quick little steps
                 C
in the stiletto boots
                       F
and the hair with the roots
                   C
She comes in as a rule
                  G
to get the nails done
                     E
and the tan for the sun
                        Am  D  Am
when the kids are in school


                        F
Don’t begrudge her the Merc
                       G
it’s been nothing but work
       C  C/B Am
and a hard   life
 Am/G       F
Losing her looks
              G
over company books
                    F
- the scaffolder’s wife


C / Dm / C / Gm

                   C7add11
In the wicked old days
                    C
when they went it alone
                  F
kept the company going
                  C
on a wing and a prayer
                         G
They don’t pay what they owe
                          E
when they have the cash flow
              Am  D  Am
- they don’t care


                        F
Don’t begrudge her the Merc
                       G
it’s been nothing but work
       C  C/B Am
and a hard   life
 Am/G       F
Losing her looks
              G
over company books
                    F   C  Dm  C

'Repair it or die' I was told

I still don’t understand

why I ever survived to be old

with a heart full of holes
                 F    G
A heart full of holes

A heart full of holes
                 F    G
A heart full of holes

Waltzing with fear in our hearts

When you come to my fights, and I am under the lights

Don't count me out, the start of the bout

You’ve been having sleepless nights
                                   
You’ve gone as quiet as a church mouse
     
and checking on your rights

And it looks as though
                     Dm   A#  Am  Bm
they’ll punish the monkey
                           Dm
and let the organ grinder go


Dm    


 A#          A            Dm      A#
You’ve been talking to a lawyer
                        Dm    A#
Are you going to to pretend
     A                Dm    A#
that you and your employer
               A               A#
are still the best of friends?
     A               Dm            A#
Somebody’s going to take the fall
                       A
There’s your quid pro quo
                    Dm    A#   Gm  C
They’ll punish the monkey
             Dm    A#  Gm  C
punish the monkey

punish the monkey
                           Dm

 F            A#    F   
Here comes a policeman
          A#      F
He won’t be sidetracked
                      A#     C
He’s asking about a smoking gun
     Dm A#      A    A
He’s after the facts

It’s a quiet life from here on in
                        Dm     A#
You’ve dropped your poison cup
     A            Dm      A#
The telephone is ringing
            A             A#
But you’re not picking up
        A             Dm     A#
Time’s up, Sir Lord Flunkey
                A
And everybody knows
             Dm    A#  Gm  C
punish the monkey
