Match Stalk Men Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

CHe painted salford Smokey tops,

 On CAMardboard boxes from the shops.

 And paArts of ancolts whA7ere I used to plDMay.

 I’m sFure he once walked down our street,

 cause he painCted kids who had nout on their feet,

 The clGothes he wore had all seen better Cdays,

CNow they said his works of art where dull,

 No roAMom about the wall was full,

 But LoAwry didn’t cA7are much aDMnyway,

 They saiFd he just paints cats and dogs.

 And MaCtch stalk men in boots and clogs,

 And LowGry said that’s just the way they’ll Cstay,

(chorus)

  ACnd he painted Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs, F

  He painted kids Gon the corner of the streets with the sparking clogs, C

  And now he takes his brush and he waits outside them factory gFates,

  To paint his Match Gstalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs, C

CNow canvas and brushes where wearing thin,

 When LondAMon started calling him,

 To comAe on down and wA7ear the old flatDM cap,

 They said tell F us all about your ways,

 And allC about them salford days,

 Is it Gtrue you’re just an ordinary Cchap.

(chorus)

 Now LoCwry's hand upon the wall,

AMBeside the greatest of them all,

 And evAen the Mona A7Lisa takes DM a bow,

 This tFired old man with hair like snow,

 Told noCrthern folk its time to go,

 The Gfever came and the good Lord mopped his Cbrow,

(chorus 2)

  CAnd he left us Match stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs, F

  He left us kidGs on the corner of the streets with the C

clogs,

  Now he takes his brush and he waits outside them pearly F gates,

  To paint his MatchG stalk men and Match stalk cats and dogs, C
