Picadilly Palare

Here’s how I play it. For capo version transpose it -2 and put capo on the second fret. [Intro] [Verse]     Off the rails I was and off the rails   I was happy to stay Get out of my way         On the rack I was Easy meat and a reasonably good buy A reasonably good buy        [Chorus] (Here I play a little power chord progression) The Piccadilly palare Was just silly slang Between me and the boys in my gang So bona to vada oh you Your lovely eek and your lovely riah [Verse] We plied an ancient trade Where we threw all life’s instructions away Exchanging lies and digs my way           Cause in a belted coat Oh I secretly knew That I hadn’t a clue   (No no no no no you can’t get there that way you follow me)    [Chorus] The Piccadilly palare Was just silly slang Between me and the boys in my gang      Exchanging palare You wouldn’t understand Good sons like you never do [Interlude] [Verse] A cold water room   it’s not much I know but for now it’s where I belong Am I really doing wrong? Around the centre of town is where I belong Am I really doing wrong?" [Chorus] So why do you smile When you think about Earl’s court? But you cry when you think of all The battles you’ve fought and lost? It may all end tomorrow Or it could go on forever In which case I’m doomed It could go on forever In which case I’m doomed             (fade)
