[Chorus] Am Em Ba badadada ba G D The sun's out in the city Am Em Ba badadada ba G D And everybody's on it Am Em Ba badadada ba G Though the product's pretty D C It's en evident pity now D Em That they don't want it D C No, they just don't want it [Bridge] C Em Ladies and gentlemen Bm I would like to introduce you Em Am To the tale of Fickle Fran C G D Your local unofficial salesman [Verse 1] C Em Franny's not rich no, neither poor Bm Em Sells knock-off clobber door to door Am C Says winter's far too cold G D And the wages don't come near C Em On a sunny prom he'll sell to masses Bm Em Cheap handbags and fake sunglasses Am C Like he's in a crackhouse G D And he's a dealer pushing gear [Pre-Chorus] C G
Sets up a stall near
D
where the band begins to play C G But Fran, he's living in
N.C.
ten years yesterday N.C. And as the bands sings [Chorus] Am Em Ba badadada ba G D The sun's out in the city Am Em Ba badadada ba G D And everybody's on it Am Em Ba badadada ba G Though the product's pretty D C It's en evident pity now D C That they don't want it [Bridge] C Em As the sun beats down
Bm
and the beverages pour Em Am Fran pulls a frown because
C
the game he once knew G D Ain't the same anymore [Verse 2] C Em Burning skin, pouring sweat Bm Em The man's not sold an item yet Am C He sighs "Life's getting harder now G D And this job's become a curse" C Em Fran admits with heavy shame Bm Em "Things went downhill since Bezos came Am C And all these eastern websites G D Well they've made things even worse" [Pre-Chorus] C G Poor Fickle Francis D Just won't admit defeat C G He now prays for winter D To get back on his feet D And as the band sings [Chorus] Am Em Ba badadada ba G D The sun's out in the city Am Em Ba badadada ba G D And everybody's on it Am Em Ba badadada ba G Though the product's pretty D C It's en evident pity now D C That they don't want it [Bridge] C G D So he tries a different door C G With claims of selling everything
D
you need and more C G Says "I'm living with an eye
D Em
on bailiffs after me" C G D Still rather this than working
in a factory [Out-Chorus] Am Em Ba badadada ba G D The sun's out in the city Am Em Ba badadada ba G D The sun's out in the city Am Em Ba badadada ba G D The sun's out in the city Am Em Ba badadada ba G D The sun's out in the city Am Em Ba badadada ba G D The sun's out in the city Am Em Ba badadada ba G D And everybody's on it Am Em Ba badadada ba G Though the product's pretty D C It's en evident pity now D Em That they don't want it
