Matchstalk Men And Matchstalk Cats And Dogs v1 Brian & Michael
[C]He painted salford Smokey tops,
On C[Em]ardboard boxes from the shops.
And pa[Am]rts of ancolts where I used to play. [Dm]
I'm s[F]ure he once walked down our street,
cause he pain[C]ted kids who had nout on their feet,
The cl[G]othes he wore had all seen better days, [C]
.
[C]Now they said his works of art where dull,
No ro[Em]om about the wall was full,
But [Am]Lowry didn?t care much anyway, [Dm]
They sai[F]d he just paints cats and dogs.
And Ma[C]tch stalk men in boots and clogs,
And Low[G]ry said that's just the way they'll stay, [C]
.
(chorus)
.
A[C]nd he painted Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs, [F]
He painted kids [G]on the corner of the streets with the sparking clogs, [C]
And now he takes his brush and he waits outside them factory g[F]ates,
To paint his Match [G]stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs, [C]
.
[C]Now canvas and brushes where wearing thin,
When Lond[Em]on started calling him,
To c[Am]ome on down and wear the old flat cap, [Dm]
They said tell [F] us all about your ways,
And all[C] about them salford days,
Is it [G]true you?re just an ordinary chap. [C]
.
(chorus)
.
Now Lo[C]wry's hand upon the wall,
[Em]Beside the greatest of them all,
And ev[Am]en the Mona Lisa takes a bow, [Dm]
This t[F]ired old man with hair like snow,
Told no[C]rthern folk its time to go,
The [G]fever came and the good Lord mopped his brow, [C]
.
(chorus 2)
.
[C]And he left us Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs, [F]
He left us kid[G]s on the corner of the streets with the sparking clogs, [C]
Now he takes his brush and he waits outside them pearly [F] gates,
To paint his Match[G] stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs [C]
. REP chorus 2
