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

[Verse 1]
I [D]come [G]from
a nation of shop[D]keepers[G][D]
Window cleaners,
[G]turf accountants and b[D]ook keep[G]ers
I [D]run [G]through the station where the
[D]road [G]sweepers[D]
Clean the debris,
[G]sweep the tickets near the[D] rail sle[G]epers

[Verse 2]
And as [D]usual I'm running [G]late
But it can [D]wait
It's not important [A]anyhow
As [D]usual it's not that [G]great
Just seeing [D]a mate
In a pub across [A]town

[Verse 3]
I [D]come [G]from a nation
of shop[D]keepers[G][D]
Car mechanics,
[G]plumbers mates and inn[D] kee[G]pers
[D]I r[G]un down the tow path
past [D]the lock [G]keepers[D]
In [G]my pinstripe, my dickie bow
and [D]my brothel [G]creepers

[Verse 4]
And [D]you can laugh at my [G]hair
The clothes I [D]wear
No they're not all the [A]rage
But [D]I'm not the global [G]type
Don't wanna [D]act
Upon the world [A]stage

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 5]
I [D]come [G]from a nation
of shop[D]keepers[G][D]
Washer women,
[G]hod carriers and [D]wicket [G]keepers
[D]I r[G]un through the morning
past [D]the road [G]sweepers[D]
With my flat cap,
[G]my plus 4's to my Min[D]i Coo[G]per

[Verse 6]
And [D]you can't expect
me [G]to put up a fight
[D]No, I'm just sitting sti[A]ll
My [D]eyes are all over [G]you
but my [D]hand remains in the till
