	C	D
I p	ut on my raincoat to m	ake it rain

	Em	D
and s	ure enough the skies opened	up again

	C	D
I dr	eamed of you as I w	alked to the shops,

	Bm	Em
you were d	ancing with the wallies on	Top of the Pops

	C	C/B	D
	once	in a wh	ile

	C	C/B	D
Gen	nady Ge	rasimov d	rops his smile

	C	D
and y	ou can see that his a	im's

	Bm	Em
a portf	olio pregnant with g	ains

	C	C/B	D
he's b	een	up all n	ight

	C	C/B	Am	G
moving the goalp	ost	s

	Bm
like a j	ackdaw with a fiery brand,

	Em
s	pread the news all over this land

	Am
	robin hood and his merry men

	D
are n	ever never never coming back again
