Mr Briggs is on holiday, but he stays in his room

Verse 2:
D E
Mr Briggs needs sleep now; he's been up for a week
C Bm E
He can hear a buzz, buzz, buzzing in his head

He has a three-bar heater, but it don't keep him warm

If he bought another, then he'd have three more
(repeat chorus)

Mr Briggs, while on holiday, never left his bed

She could pull herself together, but she knows she never will
(repeat chorus; end with solo)
