run[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch] \r\nSad old boys suck on lager tins[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch] \r\nStaggering past on tottering pins[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch] \r\nLittle kids play on the fountain by the square[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] \r\nAnd the flower girl sells bunches by the pair[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch] \r\nBlue stocking blue a girl of high-legged renown[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch] \r\nStrides past and through lacking only a gown[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Am[/ch] \r\nHer mind is high her heels on the ground[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]D[/ch] \r\nPoetess of the ordinary her thoughts profound[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] \r\nHer eyes are bright her nose looks down[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] \r\nThe books she reads are her only sound [/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch] \r\nAnd you know you can't have her [/tab]\r\nYou know it's not you \r\nOnly the girls in the square\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch] \r\nKnow who is who[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch] \r\nOnly the drunks

\r\nBlue stocking blue makes tea in her flat[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch] \r\nWonders whether the day is right to wear a hat[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Am[/ch] \r\nShe calls a friend, stretches her calf[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]D[/ch] \r\nToo lovely to be, too beautiful by half[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] \r\nShe falls on the bed and arches her back[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] \r\nCloses her eyes and dreams of black[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch] \r\nAnd you know you can't have her [/tab]\r\nYou know it's not you \r\nOnly the girls in the square\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch] \r\nKnow

[ch]Am[/ch] \r\nThe publican laughs as three men bet[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]D[/ch] \r\nThe horses aren't running so they stay in debt[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch] \r\nNewsprint for a bed, a dosser falls[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] \r\nAnd somewhere close a tennis player calls [/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Bridge]\r\n[tab] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] \r\nThen the horses run and the old girls dance[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch] \r\nTime for the fair and the games of chance[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] \r\nBooze is falling like rain from the sky[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] \r\nAnd flowers lighten before they die[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] \r\nKids paint their faces and mamas laugh[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] \r\nWhile bloomsbury blue ties on her scarf[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] \r\nShe's on the square, she's by the park[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nShe's in the light, she's in the dark[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch] \r\nAnd you know you can't have
