A Friday in July. A sweltering eighty degrees. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nMartin Jarvis was completing his week in dictionary corner; he’d been reassuringly average. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nSomewhere in the Shires, surgeons had entered the mind of Mr Stinchcombe and found black apes, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\ngibbering on dark lawns. I’d spent the afternoon becoming increasingly frustrated with the [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\ngrooming agitator on my lime Dyson. I was due in Parbold at seven fifteen, and wasn’t going to make it. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nTelephoning the person who needed to know this, I found myself caught up on a crossed line, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nsomething I’d not experienced for years. I listened in with quiet delight.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Intro 1 cont.]\r\n(Talking)\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nIt appeared that someone called Bill, whilst out walking the bounds that morning, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nhad looked in to Top Acre, and been horrified to see the almost visible ribcage of a foal, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nwhich belonged to the straggle-haired girl from Keeper’s cottage, whose name, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nif this was a Helen Fielding novel, would be something like ‘Martha Flanagan’. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nBut the countryside is never as romantic as townsfolk believe it to be, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nand the girl’s name was Karen Henderson. On closer inspection of the poor emaciated beast, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nit was agreed that a visit upon the child’s father was in order. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nNot a mission to relish apparently, as the man in question was affected by a strange disquiet, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nwhich gnawed away at his faith, and it was rumoured his days were spent sucking on the [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]\r\nbleached bones of his dead mates, whilst writing songs for the hospice – one of which goes like this:[/tab]\r\n\r\n \r\n[Verse 1]\r\n\r\n[tab]                    [ch]E[/ch]        [ch]Am[/ch]                         [ch]E[/ch]        [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nNa na na na na na na na na na na,   Na na na na na na na na na na na[/tab]\r\n[tab]                     [ch]E[/ch]        [ch]Am[/ch]                         [ch]E[/ch]        [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nNa na na na na na na na na na na,   Na na na na na na na na na na na.[/tab]\r\n\r\nOh sucking on the bleached bones of my dead mates\r\n[tab]                                            [ch]E[/ch]                         [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nTrying to get to Parbold for a quarter past seven, and it isn’t gonna happen.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 2]\r\n\r\n[tab]           [ch]E[/ch]                       [ch]Am[/ch]         [ch]E[/ch]\r\nHospice, I think you’re marvellous, hospice I sing your praises[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]       [ch]E[/ch]                 [ch]Am[/ch]               [ch]E[/ch]\r\n On high days and holidays; I big you up on high days and holidays[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                [ch]E[/ch]                 [ch]Am[/ch]                 [ch]E[/ch]\r\n I hear you go on some good outings; I’d like to go on one of your outings[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Am[/ch]                          [ch]E[/ch]\r\n Please take me with you on one of your outings.[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]               [ch]D[/ch]        [ch]A[/ch]       [ch]E[/ch]\r\n I heard you’re going to Billing Aquadrome[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]              [ch]D[/ch]        [ch]A[/ch]       [ch]E[/ch]\r\n I hear you’re going to Billing Aquadrome[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]           [ch]D[/ch]       [ch]A[/ch]       [ch]E[/ch]\r\n I’ve never been to Billing Aquadrome[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]          [ch]D[/ch]           [ch]A[/ch]       [ch]E[/ch]\r\n Let me go with you to Billing Aquadrome[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]              [ch]D[/ch]     [ch]A[/ch]       [ch]E[/ch]        [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]    [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]\r\n Please let me go to Billing Aquadrome……………..[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Coda]\r\n\r\n[tab]        [ch]A[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]A[/ch]       [ch]E[/ch]\r\nI’ll be busking this at Embankment[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]A[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]A[/ch]       [ch]E[/ch]\r\nI’ll be busking this at Embankment[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]A[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]A[/ch]        [ch]E[/ch]      [ch]A[/ch]     [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]  [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]\r\nI’ll be busking this at Embankment tube tomorrow.[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]            [ch]D[/ch]     [ch]A[/ch]  [ch]E[/ch]  [ch]A[/ch]   [ch]D[/ch]\r\n January the sixth.
