Manchester The Beautiful South
Manchester
The Beautiful South
G Bm, Em
[C]G Bm[D], Em
[C]Itâ??s a picture postcard of wish they never came.[D]
[C]And whilst the deckchair in the garden it makes no sense,[G]
[D]It doesnâ??t spoil the view or cause offence.[G]
[C]Those Floridas, Bavarias and Kents,[G]
[D]Make gentlemen wear shorts, but donâ??t make gents.[G]
[G]So convertible stay garage bound,
[C]Save aftersun for later,
[Am]If rain makes Britain great
[D]Then Manchester is greater
[G]As you dry your clothes once again upon the radiator,[C]
[Am]What makes Britain great
[D]Makes Manchester yet greater.
G Bm, Em
[C]Gorton, Salford,Sale pretty much the same.[D]
G Bm, Em
As Iâ??m caught without my jacket once aga-a-ain
[C]The raindrops on my face play a sweet refrain.[D]
[C]And as Winter turns reluctantly to Spring,[G]
[D]For the clouds above the city thereâ??s one last fling.[G]
[C]Swallows build their nests, chaffinches sing[G]
[D]And the sun strolls into the town like a long lost king![G]
Repeat Chorus: -
[C]And the mood of this whole sudden place is melancholy,[G]
[D]Like the sun came out to play, shone through the clouds but
dropped its lolly.[G]
[C]Everyone looks so disappointed so,so, sorry[D]
[D]Like the rain blew into town, kidnapped the sun and stole its
[G] brolly.
