[Chords] 
Dsus2/F# 2 X 0 2 3 0
[Intro]
A  A7/G  Dsus2/F#  E x3
[Versetto]
A           A7/G                Dsus2/F# 
Ever seen a blind man cross the road 
E                  Esus4 E  A      A7/G Dsus2/F# E 
Trying to make the other    side? 
A           A7/G               Dsus2/F# 
Ever seen a young girl growing old 
E              Esus4   E A      A7/G Dsus2/F# E 
Trying to make herself a bride?
[Ritornello]
F#m                E             A 
So what becomes of you my love 
                       B7 
When they have finally stripped you of 
D 
The handbags and the gladrags 
E                                 Esus4 E      A     A7/G Dsus2/F# 
That your grandad had to sweat so you   could buy? 
E    A A7/G Dsus2/F# E 
Baby
[Versetto]
A            A7/G       Dsus2/F# 
Once I was a young man 
E                          Esus4 E   A      A7/G Dsus2/F# E 
And all I thought I had to do    was smile 
A               A7/G       Dsus2/F# 
You are still a young girl 
E                   Esus4 E  A     A7/G Dsus2/F# E 
And you bought everything in style 
  
Listen
[Ritornello]
F#m                       E 
But once you think you're in, you're out 
A                       B7 
'Cause you don't mean a single thing without 
D 
The handbags and the gladrags 
E                                 Esus4 E     A    A7/G Dsus2/F# 
That your grandad had to sweat so you   could buy 
E      A E A E 
Ooh
[Ponte]
A              A7/G               Dsus2/F# 
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake 
E                         A   A7/G Dsus2/F# E 
And take a bottle full of rye 
A               A7/G            Dsus2/F# 
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake 
E                      A   A7/G Dsus2/F# E 
And bake them all in a pie
[Ritornello]
F#m                     E 
They told me you missed school today 
A                          B7 
So what I suggest you just throw them all away 
D 
The handbags and the gladrags 
          E                                 A    Dsus2/F# 
That your poor old granddad had to sweat to buy 
           A  Dsus2/F# 
Oh, woah
[Outro]
F#m                     E 
They told me you missed school today 
A                     B7 
So I suggest you just throw them all away 
D 
The handbags and the gladrags 
          E                                 A     A7/G  Dsus2/F# E A A7/G Dsus2/F# E 
That your poor old granddad had to sweat to buy ya,     baby 
     A   A7/G Dsus2/F# E   A A7/G Dsus2/F# E A
