Poppy Bird  Bromheads Jacket

A fantastic song from their début album Dits from the Commuter Belt
All chords should be played as barre chords.
[C#m]he spied her on the tube and she was [A]wearing a bright red poppy.
[E]her beauty it shone through the silence as the co[B]mmuters, they tried not to make eye contact.
[C#m]he'd never seen such a beautiful thing except for in[A] movies or up on billboards.
[E]he'd never seen such a beautiful thing in all his[B] years of travelling these trains.
[C#m]her shiny brown hair was tucked behind her ears and her [A]big blue eyes pierced right
her glasses.
the [E]book she was reading was of an interesting nature,[B] he knew that he would surely like
date her one day.
[C#m]a few more stops to walthamstow.
its just a, a [B]few more stops to walthamstow.
its just a, a [E]few more stops to walthamstow.
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bromheads_jacket/poppy_bird_crd.html )
and poppy [A]bird, i wonder what your name is.
[C#m]he was a child of a difficult nature, it was [A]compulsive disorder related.
[E]sometimes he would do silly little things like [B]turn the key in the door five times
he went to bed.
[C#m]in the past he got in some silly situations with [A]girls from school making silly accusations.
[E]he was through all that and he knew what to do to not [B]get himself into trouble.
[C#m]he wanted to walk past and just ask her her name and say [A]she's so pretty, he's been
her on the train.
[E]he was a child of a difficult nature. [B]he was a child of a difficult nature.
[C#m]a few more stops to walthamstow.
its just a, a[B] few more stops to wathamstow.
its just a, a[E] few more stops to walthamstow.
and poppy [A]bird i wonder, what your name is.
[C#m]a few more stops to walthamstow.
its just a, a[B] few more stops to wathamstow.
its just a, a[E] few more stops to walthamstow.
and poppy [A]bird i wonder, if I'll ever meet you.
[C#m]he can't believe his luck cos he's in wathamstow, [A]she is leaving the train also.
[E]he follows her onto the platform [B]up the stairs and through the barriers.
[C#m]he gets a bit too close and she looks behind. [A]he takes control of himself and walks
behind.
[E]and now their out and their onto the street and they [B]walk past the top of his road.
it [C#m]sure is dark and it sure is cold and so he [A]plucks up the courage and starts to make
approach.
she can [E]hear his footsteps, her hearts in her throat, should she [B]turn and start to run.
[C#m]no don't be dumb,
no don't be dumb,
[A]no don't be dumb,
no please don't be dumb.
[E]he's so close now she waits to be grabbed, and she [B]prays to god that she won't get stabbed.
[C#m]so close now she can feel his breath and he [A]grabs her on the arm and says,
"miss is this your book that you left?[E]"
[C#m] [B] [E] [A]
