Rod Stewart - Handbags And Gladrags

G          D                    C
Ever see a blind man cross the road
C                        G
Trying to make the other side
G           D                  C
Ever see a young girl growing old
C                        G
Trying to make herself a bride

Em                 D
So what becomes of you my love
G                      A
When they have finally stripped you of
C
The handbags and the gladrags
C         Am                 D                G
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you

G                D
Once I was a young man
C                                 G
And all I thought I had to do was smile
G                                D
Well you are still a young girl
C                            G
And you bought everything in style

Em                      D
So once you think you're in you're out
 G                     A
'Cos you don't mean a single thing without
C                     C
The handbags and the gladrags
           Am               D                  G
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you

G               D                  C
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
C                         G
And take a bottle full of rye
G                D               C
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
C                      G
And bake them all in a pie

Em                      D
They told me you missed school today
G                          A
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
