Norman And Norma

D A E7 A

[Verse 1]
D                    A
Norman and Norma got married in Cromer
E7         A
April 1983
   D                          A
It could have been warmer but Norman and Norma
     E7                       A
Were happy as they'd ever been
     F                   C
They flew to Majorca and swam in the water
   G7                          E7
It felt just like having a bath
    Am           Dm
The piña coladas hit Norma hard
                             G
And she fell into bed with a laugh

And she said:

[Chorus]
F   G            Em                   Am
Oh, Norman, it's never ever felt like this before
    F   G            Em                      Am
And oh, Norman, I've never really known your kiss before
   F   E7      Dm7
Oh no, Norman, Norman

[Verse 2]
D                    A
Norman and Norma had three lovely daughters
E7                  A
Nadia, Nora and Neve
D                        A
The firm Norma worked at wouldn't take her back
E7                   A
After maternity leave
     F                     C
They dreamt of Majorca but couldn't afford to
G                   E7
go on Normanâ's salary
Am                          Dm
So they went to Cromer, got double pneumonia
                          G
And Norma remembered when she used to say:

[Chorus]
F   G            Em                   Am
Oh, Norman, it's never ever felt like this before
    F   G            Em                       Am
And oh, Norman, I've never really known your kiss before
   F     G
Oh no, Norman

[Solo]
Em     Am     F     E7     Dm7

[Verse 3]
D                       A
Twenty years on and the children have gone
            E7                     A
And they're both at a bit of a loss
        D                       A
They've tried salsa classes and growing tomatoes
    E7                         A
But nothing is getting them off
     F                  C
Then one day in Clacton there's a re-enactment
   G                          E
Of Normans and Saxons, and this
     Am                       Dm
Gets their juices flowing, before long they're going
                           G
And fighting like it's 1066!
        F#
And she says:

[Chorus]
F   G            Em                   Am
Oh, Norman, it's never ever felt like this before
    F   G            Em                      Am
And oh, Norman, I've never really known such bliss before
   F   G      Em    Am
Oh no, Norman

[Outro]
   F    G      Em     Am
Oh no Norman, yeah      oh no no
F            G
no no no no Norman
     Em                   Am
It's never ever felt like this before
    F   E7      Dm7
and oh, Norman, Norman
