Intro:   4/4 | |         |        |     | |     |         |        |     | x2   ("Tux on" is whispered 4 times during the intro) He has eyes down at the bingo on that lucky Friday night   The match was rained off Saturday but the panel came in bright   And on Sunday your mates were toasting you with champagne down the pub   And on Monday you went to London To pick the cheque up with your mum   You had a tux on You had a tux on   The first time you had a tux on lucky man   There’s a photo on the mantelpiece when you bought your first guitar   And your girlfriend came to see you when you were the rising star   You knew your luck was holding when you filled the local hall   The first time and the last time that you thought you had control   You had a tux on lucky man you had a tux on   You got a tux on tux on   Now you’re touring stadiums you’ve let it go too far   Standing with your manager your back to every bar   Burning all your credit cards chopping out the pain   Crowding into toilets with a host of your new-found friends   You got a tux on nothing’s changed you got a tux on Lucky man with a tux on you’re still the same with a tux on Solo:   |     |        |    |       | x3 |     |        |     |    | |     |        | Interlude: | |           |       |     | |     |           |       |     | It was eyes down in the parlour they prayed it wouldn’t rain   A brother pulled his cuffs down to hide the blue-black vein   His razor’d more than lines out they found him just too late   The final performance the main man lies in state   With a tux on look at him now   with a tux on   The last time with a tux on take him away with a tux on   Somewhere in a tenement in a well-thumbed magazine   Someone finds a photograph that triggers of a dream   The uniform that symbolises the comfortable life   He’s always known his luck’s in but now he’s found the drive   He’s got a tux on look at him now with a tux on He’s gonna get one with a tux on free admission with a tux on Get it anyway with a tux on He’s got a tux on the easy way with a tux on tux on End on _________________________________ Is your index finger too weak to play barre-chords?
