Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]She[C] le[F]ft [G]in the middle of
[C]the [F]night with [G]the [C]kids
Wrapped in a [F]blanket with a
[Dm]packet o[G]f [C]crisps[F]
[G]Heading for her mother's
on an[C]other [F]estate
[G]The[C] kids looked up at[F]
the [Dm]light and the [E]rain
In the middle of the [Bbm]night
Such adven[Eb]tures [C#]made
For two little [Bbm]kids
Stay[Eb]ing up l[B]ate
It was rainy and [Bbm]windy
As win[A]ter was [D]bleak
At [G]four in the [C]morning [G]on King
George [Dm]Street
[G][C][F]

[Verse 2]
[G]She couldn't get to sleep,
[C]where on [F]earth had [G]he [C]gone?
The door opened [F]wide and
[Dm]the light [G]went [C]on[F]
[G]He was drunk as a lor[C]d with
[F]a tyre [G]marked [C]hat
Falling in [F]the hall on [Dm]top
of [E]the cat
Singing viva es[Bbm]pana
To a [Eb]cry ing w[Db]ife
He took a swing at [Bbm]the shade
[Eb]On the l[Cb]ight
They were knocking on [Bbm]the door
Dressed [A]like [D]refugees[G]
In the pouring rain [C]on [G]King
George [Dm]Street

[Verse 3]
[Dm]She won't have that [F]beha[Bdim]vior
[F]In her[A] hou[F]se anymor[G]e[E]
[F]He's got[Dm] to sobe[F]r up o[B]r [Bdim]get[F]
[A]kicked out [D]of [G]the [C]door[F]
Down on the [E]corner,
[A]the[E] ki[A]ds at his feet[G][F#m][A]
As [D]Daddy [G]comes [A]home [D]on
[A]King [G]George [F#m]Street[A]
As [D]Daddy comes [G]home[A]
[D]

[Verse 4]
[A]They stood around the kettle and
watched as it [D]brewed
Sneezing into hankies hands [A]all blue
The next evening he [D]came
[G]around to [A]the [D]house
With a bunch [G]of flowers; they
[Em]locked him [F#]out
He peered through the win[Cm]dow
Mouthed [F]words in the [Eb]air
Her lips to [Cm]a cup
[F]She saw him [C#]out there
The kids came [Cm]run ning
But were they [B]happy to [E]see
Their [A]Daddy back [G]home [D]on[G]
[Asus4]King George Stre[G]et?[A]
Their Daddy back [G]home [D]on[G]
[Asus4]King George Stre[G]et.
