[Verse]
A E/A
Her husband works in Jodrell Bank, he's home late in the morning
Eadd2/G# F#m11
Had he been a lawyer, he wouldn't work for pennies
A F#m11
In the morning I go walking, it helps the hurting soften
Eadd2/G# F#m11
I've seen a lot of places 'cause I miss her very often
A E/A
But I could never work there, what a shame that I'm not clever
Eadd2/G# F#m11 F#m11
It's for men with horn-rimmed glasses and four distinguished "A Level" passes
