[Intro]
Dm
Dm  Bb  Gm  Am Bb C Dm
[Verse 1]
         C                     Dm
He was a sweet and tender hooligan
                        Bb                Gm
And he swore that he'll never never do it again 
                 Am    Bb            C     Dm
And of course he won't not until the next time...
         C                      Dm
He was a sweet and tender hooligan
                        Bb                Gm
And he swore that he'll never never do it again 
                 Am    Bb            C     Dm
And of course he won't not until the next time...
[Verse 2]
C        Dm                             Bb        Gm
Poor old man, he had an accident with a three-bar fire
             Am              Bb          C       Dm
But that's okay, because he wasn't very happy anyway
   C     Dm                       Bb               Gm
A poor woman, strangled in her very own bed as she read
             Am                 Bb
But that's okay, 'cause she was old
                   C       Dm
And she would have died anyway
[Bridge]
                C                    Dm
Don't blame the sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan
               Bb
Because he'll never, never, never, never
Gm                   Am   Bb            C     Dm
Never, never do it again, not until the next time
[Verse 3]
C             Dm
Jury, you've heard every word, so before you decide
          Bb                        Gm
Would you look into those mother-me eyes?
               Am
I love you for you, my love, you, my love
Bb             C       Dm
You, my love, you, my love
C             Dm
 Jury, you've heard every word, so before you decide
          Bb                        Gm
Would you look into those mother-me eyes?
               Am
I love you for you, my love, you, my love
Bb                C       Dm
Love you just for you, my love
[Bridge]
                C                    Dm
Don't blame the sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan
               Bb                  Gm
Because he'll never, never do it again
            Am              Bb      C       Dm
And in the midst of life we are in death, etcetera
