Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][C][G][D]
[C][G][D][C][G][D]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Met
me a girl the other [C]week[G]
[D]Long blonde hair, lips you could [C]eat[G]
She [C]thanked me for the drinks I bought
And said the train that she ought
to have caught [D]had probably left
I [A]heard a voice in[Asus4]side me s[G]ay,
"You [Am]lucky bugger, [Asus4]break a leg"

[Interlude 1]
[D][C][G][D][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[D]All my life I've tried to [C]avert[G]
[D]Incidents where I could be [C]hurt[G]
At [C]school, they taught me right from wrong
No harm in being a weakling,
[D]as long as you use your head
Yet [A]on the stage if you [G]want to succeed
The [Am]thing to do is [Asus4]break a l[A]eg[D][C]
[G](Break a [D]le-[C] le[G]- l[F]eg)
Why not [C]an arm? Why not a toe?

[Verse 3]
[C]
Why only one? When one as you know
[Eb]Is not quite c[Bbm]omplete
To do that, you need
One more (one[D]more)

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][D][C][G][Dm][D][Dm]
[C][G][D][Dm][G][D]
[C][G][D][C][G][D]
[C][G][D][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[D]Upon my word,
you take it from [C]me[G]
On my [D]winter hols I love [C]to ski[G]
But [C]rather than go down too fast
And end up with my face, alas
[D]Covered in egg
I [A]do as my in[G]structor says
Get [F]on that piste and [G]break
[Asus4]a leg
[D][C][G][D]

[Verse 5]
[C]Why not an arm? Why not a chin?
What's so clever about breaking
[Eb]your leg? So to speak
[Bbm]How would your feet

[Verse 6]
Then grow?
[Dm]I[D][C][G][D][C][G]
[D]went to do
the other [C]night[G]
Could [D]hardly drink 'cause
I had [Dm]to drive[C][G]
And [C]just as I was about to leave
A chap got up and spoke to me
[Dm]Here[D]'s what he said

[Verse 7]
I [A]hear you're leaving, [G]that's a shame
It's [A]good to see you, [G]glad you came
Be[A]fore you go from [G]all of us here
A [F]safe journey home now,
[G]break [A]a l[D]eg
(Break a le- le- [C]leg, oh)[G]

[Outro 1]
[D][C][G][D][C]
[D]
