      Em
   His family taught him right from wrong
      
 


   With local tales and children's songs



   Am
   Sunday school was his shelter



   D
   With his friends Joe and Walter 



   Em
   Now those days seem far away




   An empty swing where he once played



   Am

    D
   He never thought that he'd grow old

   His sales job it gets him down




   Same old faces, same old sounds



   Am
   Heart attacks, orthopaedic backs



   D
   Documents and labelled racks 



   Em
   His wife can't stand the sight of him




   With his routine glass of gin



   Am
   She makes his lunch of processed ham



      D
   And waits in for the meter man

   Another day, another gin



 
   His kids don't even notice him
