[Verse 1]
[C]A w[Bm]ell- known bognor res
[D]taurant- owner [C]disappeared
Early this [Bm]morning
[D]Last seen in a [G]mouse- brown overcoat
[Esus4]Suitably [E]camouflaged
[A]They saw him catch a train
[Bbm]"Father of three its disgust[F]ing"

[Verse 2]
"Such a [A#m]hor rible thing to[E#] do"
[Am]Harold the barrel [B]cut off his toes and
he [E]served them all for tea
"Can't go [Am]far",

"Hasn't got a [E#]leg to stand on"
[B]"He [Em]can [Am]'t go far"[A]

[Verse 3]
I'm stand[Bm]ing in a door[D]way
on the [C]main square
Tension is [Bm]mounting
There's a [D]restless crowd
of [G]angry people
[E]"More than we've ever seen
Had to tighten [A]up security"

[Verse 4]
[A#m]Over to the scene a[E#]t the town hall
The [A#m]lord mayor's ready
[E#]to speak
[Am]"Man of suspicion,
you [B]can't last long
The British [E]public is on our side"

[Verse 6]
If [G]I was many miles f[C]rom here
I'd [G]be sailing in an open [C]boat on the sea
In[E#]stead I'm on this [Em]window ledge
With the [E#]whole world be[Em]low
[D]Up at

[Verse 7]
[D#]the window[E#]
Look at the window
[D#]"We [B]can help you"

Take a running [F#]jump

[Verse 9]
[Bm]The crowd was getting stronger
[D]and our[C] harold
Getting [Bm]weaker
[D]Forwards, backwards, [G]swaying side to side
[E]Fearing the very worst
They called his [A]mother to the sight

[Verse 10]
[Bbm]Upon the ledge bes[F]ide him
His [A#m]mother made a last request
[E#]"Come off the ledg[Em]e,
If your [B]father were alive,
he'd be [E]very, very, very upset
"Just can't [Am]jump,

[E#]you [B]just[Em] can't j[Am]ump"
