Hello again Spot.

Well, you do seem to have the knack of picking all the good songs that need to be transcribed don't you? Yet another cracking song, one of my favourites from way back, I haven't played it in ages so it was lovely to hear it again.

I have done the best I can with it, but....as always, there are a couple of bits I just can't pick out.

The third line in verse two sounds like the line I have put in but I suppose it could be anything.

In the third line in verse five the word could be label, table, ladle etc.

The rest of it is good and I have made the fol rol bits as they sound.

I'm sure someone else will be along in a while to put the corrections in for you, but here it is until then.

I see what you mean about the tune, but no, it's not the same.
Hope you like the lyrics anyway.
