[Intro]
Am [Verse]
Dm7 G7 C One day Mr Solomons said Bm E7 There was a little black cloud
Am7 A7
over your head Dm7 G7 C F Anyway you’ve received a threat E7 Or so he understands Dm7 G C I’m a country lad but I see it too Dm7 G7 C A7 How much it’s got to you Dm7 And now you’re slipping down E7 Into the shadowlands [Verse]
Dm7 G7 C My life’s the fighting game Bm7 E7 I keep my cool,
Am7 A7
I stay the same Dm7 G7 C F We never mind how bad it is Bm7 E7 Am In fact we like all your E7 Showbiz shenanigans Dm7 G7 C And Jack wants to help you out Dm7 Is what it’s all about E7 With Mr Solomons [Pre-Chorus]
Am We like the flashbulbs,
pop, pop, pop Am All the razzamatazz D7 We like the big nights,
the West End lights E7 And all of that jazz [Chorus]
Am And you can bet Jack is never going back Am To Frying Pan Alley Am You can bet
Jack is never going back To Frying Pan Alley [Verse]
Dm7 G7 C He signed me as a prospect, see Bm7 E7 Am7 Then something let go in my knee Dm7 G7 C F But I’m no clapped out punchateer E7 Like some of the other ones Dm7 G7 C Promoting’s all about the gate Dm7 G7 C Information’s worth its weight Dm7 I’m the eyes and
ears and it’s great E7 With Mr Solomons [Bridge]
Am Daytimes I’ll make the rounds In every caff and
every pub in this part of town Am There’s a mug or a pug E And always someone blathering Dm7 G7 C It’s gossip calypso all day long Dm7 G7 C Who’s the money going on Dm7 Who’s been training wrong E7 Got hurt or struggling [Bridge]
Am Well I might have
a couple with a cornerman The one with the sponge and bucket Am I’ve maybe got a bottle
for a club doorman Bm Tickets for a waitress
E7
in my pocket [Instrumental]
Dm7 G7 C Bm7 E7 Am A7 Dm7 G7 C F E7 [Verse]
Dm7 G7 She said ‘It’s me or the ring,
C
Jack’ years ago Bm7 E7 So he swapped his gloves
Am7 A7
for Savile Row Dm7 G7 C F Jack’s no pushover though E7 He likes that story told Dm7 G7 C Behind the pinstripe buttonhole Dm7 Behind the yellow rose E7 Beats a heart of gold Dm7 G C Now he’s got me something new Bm7 E7 Am A7 Which is to look out for you Dm7 I said, ‘I’d be happy to,
E7
Mr Solomons’ [Verse]
Dm7 G7 C F One day Mr Solomons said Am F#dim ‘London, son, we have got some
F7 E7 Am
hard pavements’ Dm7 G7 There’s more to the man
C
than the motto read Am On the wall above his head F#dim F7 ‘Winners win, losers
E7
make their own arrangements’ [Outro]
Am You can bet
Jack is never going back To Frying Pan Alley Am Yeah, you can bet
Jack is never going back To Frying Pan Alley Am You can bet
Jack is never going back To Frying Pan Alley Am Yeah, you can bet
Jack is never going back To Frying Pan Alley Am
