Intro
Em A D A
Verse 1
D B Em
People say to me what do you think you’re gonna be
A D D/G D/F# D/E
When I tells them I see laughter in their eyes
D B Em
If you wants an explanation, I’ve found me true vocation
A D D/E D/F# D/G
Though me answer seems to take ‘em by surprise.
D G D
There ain’t no good jobs to be found round Bethnal Green or Canning Town
Bm Em
Bar a councillor, a magistrate or mayor
G A D B
But I just sit and laugh ‘cause I’d really like not half
E A D D/G D/F# D/E
To be a working-class millionaire.
Chorus
D B E
I don’t want to be a clerk, a conductor or a spark
A D D/G D/F# D/E
Life’s too short for working, who knows where
D B E
So I’ll just sit back and dream, forget the ‘ouses in-between
A D
And be a working-class millionaire.
Verse 2
D B Em
I’d have a mansion down in Bow where all me mates could go
A D D/G D/F# D/E
A carriage and a team of dappled greys
D B Em
And on the lawn I’d have a seat for tired pairs of feet
A D D/E D/F# D/G
On folks that’s walked search of better days.
D G D
There’d be a lion either side of the gateway to the drive
Bm Em
A statue of Lloyd George would greet me guests
G A D B
And in the marble ‘all, goalposts painted on the wall
E A
And other things the ‘ampstead crowd detests.
Chorus
D B E
I don’t want to be a clerk, a conductor or a spark
A D D/G D/F# D/E
Life's too short for working, who knows where
D B E
So I’ll just sit back and dream, forget the ‘ouses in-between
A D
And be a working-class millionaire.
Verse 3
D B Em
So now I’ve got this palace grand, it sounds like something down the Strand
A D D/G D/F# D/E
But it ain’t, it’s down by Royal Albert Dock
D B Em
The boats sail in an ‘our and the word is passed about
A D D/E D/F# D/G
There’s a welcome at me mansion if yer knock.
D G D
Yes, it’s the simple life for me: that’s all I want, you see
Bm Em
That’s all the Cockney pride in me expects
G A D B
There’s nothing can compare with an East End millionaire
E A A/G A/F# A/E
That’s used to living just from one day to the next.
Chorus
D B E
I don’t want to be a clerk, a conductor or a spark
A D D/G D/F# D/E
Life's too short for working, who knows where
D B E
So I’ll just sit back and dream, forget the ‘ouses in-between
A D
And be a working-class millionaire.
