Subject: RE: Chord Req: My Old Man's A Dustman
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 !
