Match Stalk Men Brian & Michael
[C]He painted Salford's smokey tops,
On c[Am]ardboard boxes from the shops.
And pa[A]rts of Ancoats wh[A7]ere I used to pl[Dm]ay.
I'm s[F]ure he once walked down our street,
cause he pain[C]ted kids who had nowt on their feet,
The cl[G]othes he wore had all seen better [C]days,
[C]Now they said his works of art were dull,
No ro[Am]om about the wall was full,
But Lo[A]wry didn't c[A7]are much a[Dm]nyway,
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 [C]stay,
(chorus)
And he painted [C]Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and [F]dogs,
He painted [G]kids on the corner of the streets with the sparking [C]clogs,
And now he takes his brush and he waits out[F]side them factory gates,
To paint his [G]Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and [C]dogs,
[C]Now canvas and brushes were wearing thin,
When Lond[Am]on started calling him,
To com[A]e on down and w[A7]ear the old flat[Dm] cap,
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 [C]chap.
(chorus)
Now Lo[C]wry's hang upon the wall,
[Am]Beside the greatest of them all,
And ev[A]en the Mona [A7]Lisa takes [Dm] a bow,
This t[F]ired old man with hair like snow,
Told no[C]rthern folk it's time to go,
The [G]fever came and the good Lord mopped his [C]brow,
(chorus 2)
And he left us [C] Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and [F]dogs,
He left us [G]kids on the corner of the streets with the sparking [C]clogs,
Now he takes his brush and he waits out[F]side them pearly gates,
To paint his [G]Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and [C]dogs,
Repeat 2nd chorus
