Dm7 C/D 
Like father, like son 
 
Dm7 C/D 
Not flesh nor fish nor bone, a red rag hangs from an open mouth 
 
Dm7 C/D 
Alive at both ends but a little dead in the middle 
 
Dm7 C/D 
A-tumbling and a-bumbling he will go 
 
Em7/A F#m7/A 
All the king‘s horses and all the king‘s men 
 
Em7/A F#m7/A 
could never put a smile on that face 
 
(2) follows the same pattern as (1) 
 
He‘s a sly one, he‘s a shy one, wouldn‘t you be too? 
Scared to be left all on his own 
Hasn‘t a, hasn‘t a friend to play with the ugly duckling 
The pressure on, the bubble will burst before our eyes 
All the while in perfect time 
his tears are falling on the ground 
But if you don‘t stand up you don‘t stand a chance! 
 
This is a "chorus" bit, which comes after: 
"...don‘t stand a chance" 
"...all to see at night" 
"...you‘d better watch out" 
"...just a pool of tears" 
(repeat)

Bridge 1 
The second time through the bit above, the measure of the G/D chord becomes 
in 5/4 time, with a Gm6/D on the second half of beat 2. This only happens 
here, leading into the first bridge. 
 
C/D Dm7 Gm7 Gm Dmsus2,4 Dm add E 
Go a little faster now, you might get there in time

Am7 Dm7 Dm7 Em7 Dm7 Em7 
Stop your tears from falling 
 
Eb Bb F 
The trail they leave is very clear for all to see at night 
 
Am7

(3) like (1) 
In season, out of season 
what‘s the dff‘rence when you don‘t know the reason? 
In one hand bread, the other a stone 
the hunter enters the forest 
All are not huntsmen who blow thw huntsman‘s horn 
By the look of this one, you‘ve not got much to fear 
 
(4) 
Here I am, I‘m very firce and fright‘ning 
Come to match my skill to yours 
Now listen here, listen to me, don‘t you run away now 
I am a friend, I‘d really like to play with you 
Making noises my little furry friend would make 
I‘ll trick him, then I‘ll kick him into my sack 
You‘d better watch out, you‘d better watch out 
(to "chorus", no lyrics this time) 
 
 
Bridge 2 
(just like bridge 1) 
I‘ve got you, I‘ve got you, you‘ll never get away 
Walking home that night 
the sack across my back, the sound of sobbing on my shoulder 
when suddenly it stopped 
I opened up the sack, all that I had 
a pool of bubbles and tears 
just a pool of tears 
(to "chorus") 
 
Second time through chorus, go up to an A chord on the second half 
of beat 2 (still in 4/4), then go to the ending

All in all you are a very dying race

Placing trust upon a cruel world

You never had the things you thought you should have had

and all the while in perfect time your tears are falling on the ground
