Martin

D A G A D A G G A D G G A D D A Bless that summer of eighty-eight G A On a bench outside the Ox & Gate D A With a sponge, spanner and rusty nail G And a nice sharp piece of string G A Didn't make sense then don't make sense now D G But what the f**k's it matter A D Martin missed it doing time A Some with smileys and bandannas G A Some trailing heavy manners D A From the darts to the bookies to the phone to the bar G to the cab waiting outside A The pub changed hands and word got around D G Barred nutters flooded back from miles around A D It was a battleground - it went off every night A G A Martin, Martin, I'm sure he's firing somewhere D A G Martin, Martin, fired up inside A D He pushed it all two steps too far la la la la la G Long arm of the law A D Martin missed it doing time A G A The back bar's cheesier, Big John looks queasier D A G Nostalgia's easier as time goes by A But that nostalgia thing says D G 'where the f**k you're looking?' A D You just missed it doing time. A G A Martin, Martin, I'm sure he's firing somewhere D A G Martin, Martin, fired up inside A D Martin pushed it all two steps too far la la la la la G Long arm of the law A D Martin missed it doing time G A D Whoooaaa whooo Martin missed it doing time G A D Whoooaaa whooo Martin missed it doing time G A D Whoooaaa whooo Martin missed it doing time
