1977
I
The Aclown came down to meet me  
With a smile upon his face
He Gfired his starting pistol
and Fbegan the human race
There were Afaces all around me
They were running everywhere
But Geverywhere is nowhere
And Fnowhere isn't Gthere
Chorus:
It's a Cgame, a Fgame, 
a Ggame that we're Amplaying
Well, FI don't mind but DmI don't make the Grules
It's a Cgame, a Fgame, 
a Ggame that we're Amplaying
Just a Fgame for Glovers and Gfools
II:
There's Asnakes upon your ladder
And there's dice upon your skirt
There's Glipstick on my collar
And there's Fsweat upon my shirt
The Aneighbours will start talking
But you know that I don't care
For the Gneighbours they are nowhere
And Fnowhere isn't Gthere
Chorus:
It's a Cgame, a Fgame, 
a Ggame that we're Amplaying
Well, FI don't mind but DmI don't make the Grules
Interlude:
It's a CgaaFaaaCaaaFme
CGaaaFmeG  
Final Chorus(x2+Fading):
It's a Cgame, a Fgame, 
a Ggame that we're Amplaying
Well, FI don't mind but DmI don't make the Grules
It's a Cgame, a Fgame, 
a Ggame that we're Amplaying
Well, FI don't mind but DmI don't make the Grules

1977

The clown came down to meet me

With a smile upon his face

He fired his starting pistol

and began the human race

There were faces all around me

They were running everywhere

But everywhere is nowhere

F G

And nowhere isn't there

Chorus:

C F

It's a game, a game,

G Am

a game that we're playing

F Dm G

Well, I don't mind but I don't make the rules

C F

It's a game, a game,

G Am

a game that we're playing

F G G

Just a game for lovers and fools

II:

There's snakes upon your ladder

And there's dice upon your skirt

There's lipstick on my collar

And there's sweat upon my shirt

The neighbours will start talking

But you know that I don't care

For the neighbours they are nowhere

F G

And nowhere isn't there

Chorus:

C F

It's a game, a game,

G Am

a game that we're playing

F Dm G

Well, I don't mind but I don't make the rules

Interlude:

C F C F

It's a gaaaaaaaame

C F G

Gaaame

Final Chorus(x2+Fading):

It's a game, a game,

G Am

a game that we're playing

Well, I don't mind but I don't make the rules

It's a game, a game,

G Am

a game that we're playing

F Dm G

Well, I don't mind but I don't make the rules
