Handbags And Gladrags

Words and Music By Mike D'Abo

I based this tab on the Stereophonics version
I will try and add the intro and outro later.

Verse 1

-6 -6 -6 -6  6    -5   6    5   -5
Ever see a blind man cross the road ?
  -4  -5  -5  -4  -5 -4  -4  4
Try'n to make the other side~~~
-6 7  7  -8  6    -5   6 -6   -5 
Ever see a young girl growin' old
  -5  -5  -5   -4 -6  -4  -4  4
Try'n to make herself a bride~~~ ?
-4  -8   -8  -8  8  8  -8  7  -7  
So what becomes of you my~~~ love
 -5   7    7    7   7    7     -7  -7
When they have fin'ly stripped you of
 -4  -7   -6   -5  -7  -6   -5
The hand-bags and the glad-rags
 -7   -6   -5   -7  -6   -5
That your poor old gran-dad 
 -7 -6  -6    6  6  -5
Had to sweat to buy you


Verse 2 (same tune as verse 1)

Once I was a young man
And all I thoght I had to do was smile
Well, you are still a young girl
And you bought ev'ry thing in style
So once you think you're in, you're out
Cause you don't mean a single thing without
The hand-bags and the glad-rags
That your poor old gran-dad 
Had to sweat to buy you




Verse 3

 -6  -6 -6  -6  -6   5   6   -4   -5
Sing a song of sixpence for your sake
 -4   -5  -4 -5 -4  -5  -5  -4 4 
And drink a bottle full of rye~~~
 -6    7 -8  -6   6    -5   6 -6  -5 
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
 -5  -9   -8   -8 7   7 -8 -6
And bake them all~~~ in a pie
 -6   -8  -8  -8   8      8    -8  7  7
They told me you missed school~~~ today
-5   7  7  7  -8    7   -8
So what I suggest, you just 
  -9   -9   -9 -9 -8
Throw them all a-way
 -4  -7   -6   -5  -7  -6   -5
The hand-bags and the glad-rags
 -7   -6   -5   -7  -6   -5
That your poor old gran-dad 
 -7 -6  -6    6  6  -5
Had to sweat to buy you
