C

[Verse 1]
C                  G
 Down the lanes of foggy chimneys,
F                   C       G
 Through the little seaside town,
C                      G
 Strides the east wind like a dragon,
F                   C      G
 Strewing leaves of ragged brown.
F                  C  Am
 Winter's planting icicles
  Dm7               G
A-long the bar-ren shore,
        F              G               Am
And the Punch and Judy Man is gone for ever

[Chorus]
C             G         F                   C      G
 Mr.Punch and Judy Man, time flows like the yellow sand
F                 C         Am      Dm      G     C
Bring me back the childhood land of summers long ago

[Verse 2]
C              G
 In the meadow by the river
F                  C      G
 Where the elm and willow stand
C                  G
 Silver mist comes creeping down
F                   C       G
 To lullaby the sleeping land
F                     C         Am
 Through the bare and blackened branches
Dm7             G
Swallows fly no more
        F              G               Am
And the Punch and Judy Man is gone for ever

[Chorus]
C             G         F                   C      G
 Mr.Punch and Judy Man, time flows like the yellow sand
F                 C         Am      Dm      G     C
Bring me back the childhood land of summers long ago

[Verse 3]
C                   G
 Hear the ghosts of penny arcades
F              C      G
 Jingle jangle on the pier,
C                  G
 Gone the sound of laughing children,
F                C     G
 Fading with the dying year.
F                   C         Am
 Songs and sunshine leave the world
    Dm7           G
 to winters weary ways
         F             G               Am
And the Punch and Judy Man is gone for ever

[Chorus]
C             G         F                   C      G
 Mr.Punch and Judy Man, time flows like the yellow sand
F                 C         Am      Dm      G     C
Bring me back the childhood land of summers long ago

[Verse 4]
C             G
 Punchinello, Punchinello,
F                   C    G
 Where have you and Judy gone?
C                 G
 Gone to join the swelling ranks
   F                   C     G
Of things that we look back upon.
F             C       Am
 Memories can conjure you
     Dm7               G
from dreams of  summer days
        F              G               Am
But the Punch and Judy Man is gone for ever

[Outro]
C             G         F                   C      G
 Mr.Punch and Judy Man, time flows like the yellow sand
F                 C         Am      Dm      G     C
Bring me back the childhood land of summers long ago
C             G         F                   C      G
 Mr.Punch and Judy Man, time flows like the yellow sand
F                 C         Am      Dm      G     C  F C
Bring me back the childhood land of summers long ago
