Songs They Never Play On The Radio

Peter Doherty


Tom: D

D                F#m         Bm
Songs they never play on the radio
       G               F#m              Em
As the cobwebs fall on the shipping new record
A                  D
The needle skips a groove
             F#m
They hate to say
     Bm
They told you so
              
But they tell you so
G            F#m       Em
That no-good so-and-so coming round and
A            D
Sweet by and by
        F#m    Bm                  Bm
Just to claim… what he claims he's owed but
G
I know
F#m
He's owed
Em         A                  Em
Just about half of nothing at all
                        A
What was that song they played
F#m              Bm
The day you went away
Em                    A
Oh was that song they played
F#m              (riff)
The day you went away

D                 F#m       Bm
Sing a song about what it's like to knock about with
G        F#m       Em 
Somebody who you'd quite like to
A                        Em
Like to knock about with you
               A
Why did you go away
F#m                     Bm
What about that pact we made?
Em           A                                      
She couldn't stay and why did you go away?

Improvise with the verse chords

D          F#m               Bm               
Songs they never play on the radio
       G                   F#m          Em
As the cobwebs fall on the old shipping record
A                  D
The needle skips a groove
             F#m
They hate to say
     Bm
They told you so, they tell you so
      G      F#m      
That no good so-and-so
Em                 A                    D  and improvise to end the song
But round again so round we go
