Intro: GCGCGCGD7
Twice upon a time in the valley of tears
C7
An auctioneer is biding for a box of fading years
D7
And the elephants are dancing on the graves of squearling mice
C7Cmaj7GCGCG
Anyone for tennis wouldn't that be nice.
D7
And the ice-creams are all melting on the streets of bloody beer,
C7
While the beggars stain the pavements with florescent Christmas cheer
D7
And the Bentley driving guru is putting up his price
C7Cmaj7GCG
Anyone for tennis wouldn't that be nice.
D13E7D13E7
And the prophets in the boutiques give out messages of hope
AC
With jingle bells and fairy tales and blind colliding scopes
D7
and you can tell they're all the same underneath the pretty lights
C7Cmaj7GCG
Anyone for tennis wouldn't that be nice.
D13E7D13E7
The yellow Buddhist monk is burning brightly at the zoo
AC
You can bring a bowl of rice and then a glass of water too,
D7
and fate is setting up the chess-board while death rolls out the dice
C7Cmaj7GCGCG
Anyone for tennis wouldn't that be nice.
