G#m 
Richard, how do you do it? 
                    E 
I say you've got to knuckle down kid, you've got to learn to live through it 
       B 
You'll prosper, if you stick at it for long enough

          B 
Wll I've got my holiday socks on 
B 
French Opening across th kitchen tiles, knocking into everyone 
  E 
I used to have a passing shot 
E 
They'd say "shot Richard, lovely passing shot" 
          B 
But I was younger then and living was free 
B 
Now evening wine invokes a purple-prosing demon in me 
         E 
And I am trying to be very direct here 
E 
I am trying to write the perfect sentence

Let them bleed out on a promenade?
