1. Ever seen a blind man cross the road, trying to make the other side?

Ever seen a young girl growing old, trying to make herself a bride?

So what becomes of you my love, when they have finally stripped you of
|D |D/E |A A/G
the handbags and the gladrags that you burned that I had to sweat so you could buy.
|D E7sus |A A/G |D E7sus
Baby.
2. Once I was a young man, and all I thought I had to do was smile.
You are still a young girl, and you bought everything in style.
And once you think you’re in you’re out, ‘cause you don’t mean a single thing without
the handbags and the gladrags that you burned that I had to sweat so you could buy.

3. Sing a song of sixpence for your sake and take a bottle full of rye.

They told me you missed school today, so what I suggest is just throw them all away,
|D |E7sus |D/A A A A/G
the handbags and the gladrags that you pour over and that I had to sweat to buy.

Oh.
End. They told me you missed school today, so what I suggest is just throw them all away,
