                               "Homburg"
                      (Gary Brooker - Keith Reid)

Intro:

	F      F7/Eb     Dm       G7/B      C        C7
	/ / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

Verse 1:

	F                 G7/F
	Your multilingual     business friend
	Bb/F                     F
	Has packed her bags and fled
	F                       G7/F
	Leaving only ash-filled ashtrays
	        Bb/F               F
	And the lipsticked unmade bed
	     Dm          Gm
	The mirror, a reflection
	     F/C                   C
	Has climbed back upon the wall
	F                          G7/F
	For the floor she found descended
	Bb/F                     F
	And the ceiling was too tall

Chorus:

	       F                Bb
	Your trouser cuffs are dirty
	           G                  C
	And your shoes are laced up wrong
	       A7                   Dm      F/C
	You'd better take off your homburg
	             Bb              F
	'Cause your overcoat is too long

[repeat intro]

Verse 2:

	The town clock in the market square
	Stands waiting for the hour
	When its hands they won't turn backwards
	And on meeting will devour
	Both themselves and also any fool
	Who dares to tell the time
	And the sun and moon will shatter
	And the signposts cease to sign
