G 

Verse 1:

D F C G Bacon fried, squinty-eyed, moments of the dawn D F C G Misty street calling me, 'Get dressed and walk around' E F G In the square, standing there girl so sad A 'What's the matter'? She said
D A G D 'Oh, oh dear sir, the world has got me down D A G D And folks preach happiness when there's none to be found D A G D I type and answer phones to earn my meager pay D A G D To keep me alive so I can waste another day'

Post-Chorus

D C#m Bm A I sadly turned and walked away D C#m Bm A G For there was nothing I could say

Verse 2:

D F C G Walking on, noonday sun, dusty road to town D F C G Saddened by the girl that I had chanced to come upon E F Then, I'd seen a limousine G A A rich old guy, mean of eye. He said
D A G D 'Oh, bah humbug, you can't understand D A G D The world is one big bank, you must steal what you can D A G D Because it's fools like you who waste their precious time D A G D By walking in the sun instead of trying to make a dime'

Post-Chorus

D C#m Bm A The words he spoke turned my world grey D C#m Bm A Could everybody feel this way? D C#m Bm A As if in answer down the road D C#m Bm A A lovely girl picked flowers of gold Bb C F She smiled sweetly and gave one to me and said
F C Bb F 'Please, kind sir, don't look so down F C Bb F For in this hard world love still abounds F C Bb F And hand in hand friends of beauty can lie F C Bb F A On clover beds 'neath a blanket of sky'
Coda D A G D Oh, oh dear sir, the world has got me down (Oh, bah humbug, you can't understand) D A G D And folks preach happiness when there's none to be found(The worldis one big bank you must steal what you can) D A G D I type and answer phones to earn my meager pay (Because it's fools like you who waste their precious time) D A G D To keep me alive so I can waste another day (By walking in the sun instead of trying to make a dime) D 'How are you? How are you? How are you'? D 'Hi, how are you'?
