Mr Briggs is on holiday, but he stays in his room
C                Bm             E
It's too cold to go out for his evening smoke
    D                        E
The lady down the hallway is deaf and daft to what you say
C              Bm               E
She's too busy dreaming of a Chihuahua dog

Mr Briggs needs sleep now; he's been up for a week
C              Bm                  E
He can hear a buzz, buzz, buzzing in his head
   D                           E
He has a three-bar heater, but it don't keep him warm
C              Bm               E
If he bought another, then he'd have three more

D                            E
Mr Briggs, while on holiday, never left his bed
C                Bm           E
Walked around in circles, but only in his head
D                            E
The lady down the hallway is running out of pills
C                 Bm                     E
She could pull herself together, but she knows she never will
