Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 I feel for you, you little horror

 Safe at your mother's breast

 No lucky break for you around the corner

 'Cause your father is a bully

 And he thinks that you're a pest

 And your sister she's no better than a whore.

Life seems so rosy in the cradle,

 But I'll be a friend I'll tell you what's in store

 There's nothing at the end of the rainbow.

 There's nothing to grow up for anymore

Tycoons and barrow boys will rob you

And throw you on the side

And all because they love themselves sincerely

And the man hold a bread knife

Up to you throat it's four feet wide

And he's anxious just to show you what it's for.

Your mother works so hard to make you happy

But take a look outside your nursery door

There's nothing at the end of the rainbow.

There's nothing to grow up for anymore

All the sad and empty faces

That pass you in the street

All running in their sleep, all in a dream

Every loving handshake

Is just another man to beat

How your heart aches just to cut hiom to the core

Life seems so rosy in the cradle,

But I'll be a friend I'll tell you what's in store

There's nothing at the end of the rainbow.

There's nothing to grow up for anymore
