MY OLD MAN'S A DUSTMAN
C (b) Am D G Now, 'ere's a little story. To tell it is a must C (b) Am D G About an unsung hero that moves away your dust. Am (c) Am (c) Some people earn a fortune, others make a mint. Am (c) D C My old man don't earn much, in fact, he's flippin' skint.
Chorus
C G Oh, my old man's a dustman, he wears a dustman's hat C He wears gor-blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat. F He looks a proper 'nana in 'is great big hobnailed boots G C He's got such a job to pull them up that he calls 'em daisy(?) roots
C G One day whilst in a hurry, he missed a lady's bin G7 C He 'adn't gone but a few yards when she chased after him C7 "What game do you think you're playing?" she cried right from the F heart. G G7 C "You missed me! Am I too late?" "No, jump up on the cart!"
Is more or less the way I would do it - The (b) and (c) in the intro are Bass notes as a sort of passing run to the next chord . Hope that makes sense , but no doubt some one will correct me on the chords !
