Verse 
C 
Sitting at the old kitchen table 
                      Am 
Peace and health and dreams 

Stretching out in the darkness 
                C 
Mother's up the stairs with her aging new boyfriend 
                Dm 
Cathy's staying in to make sure nothing happens 
                G 
All aboard the freak parade 
                F 
I cover up my head and pray 
                     C 
I'm praying for the light 


C 
Down amongst the old city chambers 
                Am 
Men in frocks debate all the policy changes 
          C 
Everybody bet on the boom and got busted 
          Dm 
Everybody bet and in the government trusted 
              G 
Grubby little red MP 
                F 
Yellow flapping hopelessly 

 
Am Tory like the cat with the cream E Tory like the cat with the cream Am I studied you in history C I studied in the library Dm F In days of old when knights were bold Am C They'd settle it with swords and shields Dm F In days of old when knights were bold C It's settled by the king
C Praying for a friend is contagious Am Especially when it comes at the old kitchen table C Listening for the swoosh of his quickening paces Dm Watching for the smile on the bravest of faces G How I wish you'd read to me F Verses rich in swallows and trees C To get me though the night C Waiting at the old kitchen table Am Listening for my code listening for my instructions C Surely now I'm here I am destined for greatness Dm I want to be the Queen pulling kids out of rivers G All aboard the freak parade F I cover up my head and pray
