Matchstalk Men And Matchstalk Cats And Dogs (failed - reindex) Brian and Michael
Verse 1
He [G]painted Salford Smokey tops,
On C[Em]ardboard boxes from the shops.
And pa[E7]rts of ancolts where I used to p[Am]lay.
I’m sure he once walked down our street,
cause he pain[G]ted kids who had nowt on their feet,
The cl[D]othes he wore had all seen better [G]days,
Verse 2
[G]Now they said his works of art where dull,
No ro[Em]om old lad the wall was full,
But Lo[E7]wry didn’t care much any - [Am]way,
They said he just paints cats and dogs.
And Ma[G]tch stalk men in boots and clogs,
And Low[D]ry said that’s just the way they’ll [G]stay,[D]
chorus
And he painted [G]Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and [Am]dogs,
He painted [D]kids on the corner of the streets with the sparking [G]clogs,[D]
And now he t[G]akes his brush and he waits out - [Am]side them factory gates,
To paint his [D]Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and d[G]ogs,[D]
Verse 3
[G]Now canvas and brushes where wearing thin,
When Lond[Em]on started calling him,
To com[E7]e on down and wear the old flat [Am]cap,
They said tell us all about your ways,
And a[G]ll about them Salford days,
Is it [D]true you’re just an ordinary [G]chap.[D]

chorus)
And he painted [G]Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and [Am]dogs,
He painted [D]kids on the corner of the streets with the sparking [G]clogs,[D]
And now he t[G]akes his brush and he waits out - [Am]side them factory gates,
To paint his [D]Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and d[G]ogs,[D]
Verse 4
Now Lo[G]wry's hang upon the wall,
Be - [Em]side the greatest of them all,
And ev[E7]en the Mona Lisa takes a [Am] bow,
This tired old man with hair like snow,
Told no[G]rthern folk its time to go,
The [D]fever came and the good Lord mopped his [G]brow,[D]
chorus
A[G]nd he left us Match stalk men and Match [Am]stalk cats and dogs,
He left us [D]kids on the corner of the streets with the sparking [G]clogs[D]
Now he t[G]akes his brush and he waits out - [Am]side them pearly gates,
To paint his [D]Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and d[G]ogs,
chorus
[A]And he left us Match stalk men and Match[Bm] stalk cats and dogs,
He left us [E]kids on the corner of the streets with the sparking [A]clogs[E]
Now he t[A]akes his brush and he waits out - [Bm]side them pearly gates,
To paint his [E]Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and d[A]ogs,
