Verse
D 
Flogging a rocking Horse 
D 
Getting nowhere 
D                   Em 
We are a pair to behold 
Em 
You like a funeral me like a fair 
A                     D 
Nobody cares for the show 
 
Verse
 
D 
These days the rapids may drag us from here 
D                           Em 
And I do not care where we go 
Em 
And you say that love is what we are my dear 
A                           D 
But I just pretend not to know 
 
Chorus
 
Em 
If it's the be all and end all 
Em 
Then come on now love lets make a start 
Em                        A 
When love calls then it's time to play ball 
A                          D 
But starting's the easiest part 
 
Verse
D 
Counting my blessings like stars in the sky 
D                           Em 
Sleep walking moon watching on 
Em 
And she's seen how lovers before us have tried 
A                             D 
My darling lets not get it wrong 
 
Chorus
 
Em 
If it's the be all and end all 
Em 
Then come on now love lets make a start 
Em                  A 
When love calls how sudden the fall 
A                        D 
But fallings the easiest part  
 
Interlude
 
Em 
I've had love come to nothing before 
Em        A              A7 
But it's all right, it's all right 
     Em 
I've welcomed them in and I've shown them the door 
Em       A               A7           D 
But it's all right, it's all right
