[Intro]
Bb Eb

[Verse]
Eb                                                  Ab                           Eb
We were talking to a fellow in the room last night, came down from Elgin with an appetite
                                                  Fm7      Bb
Somebody told him he would be all right among the millions
   Eb                                           Ab                    Eb
He began to sing he took the place apart he was dealing aces from the very start
                                                    Fm7      Bb
It was a gift from heaven to a humble heart we were embracing
      Ab                                                  Gm                    Cm
Oh he told me that his papa was a rolling stone who had a gig at Dingwall so he felt at home
           Ab                                     Bb
And all he really needed was a telephone to be in business

[Chorus]
      Eb                                          Ab                                          Eb
Gaels blue, we have been weighed up & found to be true, though we never had the Chevys or the Baptist Church
                                 Bb                   Eb                         Ab
We had a choice of colours for a broken crutch, we'll do, whatever it is that we do
                              Eb                                          Bb               Eb
You can ask the driver on the glory train, we'll sing it up to heaven and home again Gaels blue

[Verse]
Eb                                                         Ab                       Eb
Oh I know that everybody has to have their tale and have a clean one ready when the old one's stale
                                                     Fm7      Bb
Just as long as all the little details pale into the distance
      Eb                                          Ab                         Eb
Aw we kept straight faces when we heard him say, "I've been drinking up with Marvin Gaye"
                                           Fm7                 Bb
Ah well, every hound dog must have his day sing your confession
       Ab                                                    Gm                     Cm
oh his sense gets cloudy but his spirit is keen and then the music business gets to pick him clean
             Ab                                       Bb
and he said "Let me out or throw a magazine, I need a witness?" (ooh I really do)

[Chorus]
      Eb                                          Ab                                          Eb
Gaels blue, we have been weighed up & found to be true, though we never had the Chevys or the Baptist Church
                                 Bb                   Eb                         Ab
We had a choice of colours for a broken crutch, we'll do, whatever it is that we do
                              Eb                                          Bb               Eb

Oh he quit Stathpeffer where he earned his keep, and every day got worse until he couldn't sleep
          Ab                                                         Bb
and so he called them up and said "Give the stage a sweep, we are in business"

[Chorus]
      Eb                                          Ab                                          Eb

We had a choice of colours for a broken crutch, we'll do, whatever it is that we do
                              Eb                                          Bb               Eb
