   EmSo I’m walking down the road and heading towards me
Is somebody I know, but not like a brother
He’s seen me, and we both realise
That we’re going to have to put into operation the tricky manoeuvre that is
Acknowledgment without breaking stride.
EmSo I keep my eyes fixed firmly on the ground,  ‘til I get within ten or so feet away
With a nod of the head and a timely hello I can carry on walking, don’t wanna get talking
Rule number one – carry on walking and anyway I don’t know his name.
And if I were to guess I’d guess it all wrong and I’d be there for a long time.G  D  Em  G  D  C  
How’s it Ggoing, where’re you Fliving
Do you Bbstill see much of CSteve?
Are you Gmarried, are you Fworking
Do you Bbstill drink in the GSwan?C  D  G  C  D  G  C  D  Em  
EmInside back page, Radio Times “My kind of day” with the actors and actresses
I get up about six, and I have a cold shower, switch on “Today”, Vitamin C
Write some letters ‘til quarter past eight when Olivia takes Oliver to school.
It’s about an hour’s drive to Shepperton from ours
EmSo I go through the scripts in the back of the car
And if I get hungry I’ll eat a Multigrain Bar.
Weekends are good we can walk the South Downs as a family
But of course what most people never realise
Is that us poor actors are out of work
For ninety percent of the time.G  D  Em  G  D  C

So I’m walking down the road and heading towards me

Is somebody I know, but not like a brother

He’s seen me, and we both realise

That we’re going to have to put into operation the tricky manoeuvre that is

Acknowledgment without breaking stride.

So I keep my eyes fixed firmly on the ground, ‘til I get within ten or so feet away

With a nod of the head and a timely hello I can carry on walking, don’t wanna get talking

Rule number one – carry on walking and anyway I don’t know his name.
