My Friend The Chocolate Cake - The Gossip

C Am F G

	       C
This is just a coal town
		   Am
And all the people there
			F
Are sheltering from the cold winds
			       G
On the creast of the big bleak hill

		  C
And Mary's got an argument
			 Am
And the argument's quite loud
			    F
And the the shouting's entertainment
		   G		
To the other folk around


			       F
And the gossip's been getting out of hand
		    C
It's a ruthless old sound
			F
And no-one's out there working
			C
Cos there's none to be found
			  F
And the steam builds up inside you
			C
And there's no place to fall
			      G
Well there's noting quite as harmful
      F		 C
As a slow moving day


C Am F G

		      C
It's a town they make films about
			 	Am
Because the bleak's quite beautiful
			       F
And the light and the delicate features
		  G
Are captured very still

			C
And so much for all the history
		     Am
The Martyrs and the Kings
			    f
When the fight that was the good fight
			      g
Was the fight that you didn't win

			       F
And the gossip's been getting out of hand
		    C
It's a ruthless old sound
			F
And no-one's out there working
			C
Cos there's none to be found
			  F
And the steam builds up inside you
			C
And there's no place to fall
			      G
Well there's noting quite as harmful
      F		 C
As a slow moving day
			      G
Well there's noting quite as harmful
      F		 C
As a slow moving day
