Throw this in wherever a D chord ends a phrase)
There's a

haze on the skyline to wish me on my way

and there's a note on the telephone
C D(IA)
some roses on a tray
And the motorway's [C]stretching  [D]
[Em]right [D]out to us [Em]all  [D]
as I pull on my [C]old wings
[D]One [Em]White [D]Duck on your [Em]wall
Isn't it [Bb]just to damn [Am]real?
One White Duck on your [D]wall   [Am]
one duck on your [D]wall  [Am]
[G]                                     
I'll catch a
ride on your violin strung up on your bow
and I'll float on your melody
sing your chorus soft and low
There's a picture-view postcard to say that I called
You can see from the fireplace
One White Duck on your wall
Isn't it just too damn real?
One White Duck on your wall
One duck on your [D]wall  [Em]

So
[G]fly away Peter and [C]fly away [G]Paul [G/F]     [G]   [G/F]     [G]
from the fingertip [C]ledge of con[D]tentment
Well, the [G]long restless rustle of
[C]high heel boots [G]calls [G/F]     [G]   [G/F]     [G]
F(with high G) C G G/F G G/F...
and I'm probably bound to deceive you after all.

Something must be wrong with me and my brain
if I'm so painfully unrewarding
But my dreams are for dreaming and best left that way
and my zero to your power often equals nothing at all.

Double lock defense, there's no chain on my door
and I'm available for consultation
But remember your way in is also my way out,
and love's four letter word is no compensation

Black Ace dog handler I'm a waiter on skates
so don't you jump to your foresking conclusion
Cause I'm up to my deaf ears in cold breakfast trays
to be cleared before I can dine on your sweet
Sunday lunch confusion.
