Em Cmaj7/E
The grass in Ashfield Park is dying
B B7 Em G/D
Where everybody dreams of deeds of crime...
A
And the Tartan Coloured Lady walks
F#7 Bm Am G
Behind the water colours of my mind......
D A G Em B7
And the Tartan Coloured Lady she is mine.........
Em Cmaj7/E
People speak of willow trees in autumn
B B7 Em G/D
And my cloak doesn't fit her anymore...
A
And the Tartan Coloured Lady that I wanted
F#7 Bm Am G
Walked out this place, an hour or so before......
D A
And the Tartan Coloured Lady locks her door
D E
So if your crystal window is unbroken
G D
And they've taken all the dust bins from your door
C D
Take yourself the Tartan Coloured Lady
G D
And smell the grass in Ashfield Park once more
F#7 Bm Am G Em B7
See the trees in Ashfield Park once more..............
Em Cmaj7/E
So I guess I'll read the comic books you've left me
B B7 Em G/D
And play marbles on the floor...
A
And if the Tartan Coloured Lady calls me
F#7 Bm Am G
Just tell her I won't be home till four......
D A
Or just tell her I won't be home no more
D E
So if your crystal window is unbroken
G D
And they've taken all the dust bins from your door
C D
Take yourself the Tartan Coloured Lady
G D
And smell the grass in Ashfield Park once more
F#7 Bm Am G
See the trees in Ashfield Park once more......
D A G Em B7
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Oooooooooooooh
