Primrose Hill Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Living on [D]the side
Of Primrose Hill
Drinking [G]cans of Tennants
Just can't seem to get my fill
[A]Got a beat up guitar
And a dirty old sleeping bag
[G]And this mangy dog
Whose tail don't wag
[D]Sun's been shining down
On my hillside bed
That's [G]not the only reason
My face is so red
This [A]nasty cut on my nose
Is not from no fight
I just [G]fell down yesterday
Or maybe it was last night
And I [D]used to sing and play
Down in the underground
[G]But a few years back
They started cracking down
Now [A]I'm living on the side
Of Primrose Hill
I'm no [G]tourist attraction

[Interlude 1]
But I give them a thrill
[D][G][D]
[A][G]

[Verse 2]
Yeah I see [D]you
Riding by on your flash bicycle
Yeah they can do you
[G]for that on Primrose Hill
[A]A pretty young mother goes by
She's pushing her pram
Her [G]little baby leans out
Just to see what I am
From the [D]top of the hill
There's a hell of a view
[G]Houses of Parliament and London Zoo
Those [A]politicians all chatter
They trumpet and roar
That must [G]be what those
hyenas all
Are laughing for
When you [D]come up to London
It sure is something to see
[G]It's somewhere to go
But it's no place to be
And there's [A]two things
Keeping me from going 'round the bend
I [G]got my music
And this dog for a friend
[D]

[Interlude 2]
[G]
[D][A][G]
'Cause life gets slip[D]pery

[Verse 3]
When you're living on the side
Yeah I know I [G]should quit
drinking
But I haven't even tried
[A]My mutt's licking my fingers
And I'm wetting my lips
I [G]got a can of extra strong
And a bag of chicken and chips
If I had a [D]little money
I'd get a few thing[G]s
Like a bottle of vodka
[Em]And a pack of new guitar [G]strings
[A]I guess I could die here
On the side of this hill
I'm [G]no tourist attraction
But I'd give them a chill
And I'm living [D]on the side
Of Primrose Hill
Drinking [G]cans of Tennants
Just can't seem to get my fill
Got [A]a beat up guitar
And [F#m]dirty [A]old sleeping bag
This [G]mangy dog
Whose tail [D]won't wag

[Outro 1]
[D]
