(intro        F      Eb  F)
BbIndicate then you stupid Gbastard how was I supposed to Cknow
That you intended to go Eleft, I'm not a mind readerBb  G  C  E  
You shall be Bbcast away into the Gfiery pit and in the Cfiery pit there are
                            E(instr F)
Eternal sleeping policemen.
FI saw a young professional couple playing Poohsticks on a Cotswold bridge
I watched them walk along the banks of the Windrush eating jasmine ice cream
Before heading north to Warwick Arts Centre and Marianne Faithfull, splendid.
I picked up all the elastic bands dropped by the postman on my driveway
And took them up to the pub on a Thursday evening
As that's where he likes to go for the quiz
He believes he is needed for the music round
His friends obviously humour him
Anyway, I place myself at a nearby table
And whenever he tries to light up a cigarette
I fire it out of his mouth with one of the elastic bands
Which he finds most annoying, most annoying. 
(instr F,       F   Bb  F,   Dm   C   F(x2)
Gouranga Gouranga, Bbyes I'll be Fhappy
When Dmyou've been arrested for deCfacing the Fbridge
Gouranga Gouranga, Bbyes I'll be Fhappy
When Dmyou've been arrested for deCfacing the Fbridge
Gouranga Gouranga, Bbyes I'll be Fhappy
When Dmyou've been arrested for deCfacing the Fbridge
Gouranga Gouranga, Bbyes I'll be Fhappy
When Dmyou've been arrested for deCfacing the Fbridge
Gouranga Gouranga, Bbyes I'll be Fhappy
When Dmyou've been arrested for deCfacing the Fbridge
                             Bb       F(fade out)
Gouranga Gouranga, yes I'll be happy
