verse 1
F
I heard you walking down our street
Dm
Emphatic boots on massive feet
Bb Gm C7
Instinctively I knew what would ensue:
F
I‘d have to strap on my guitar
Dm A
And tell the people near and far
Bb C7 F C7
“I’d like to swerve the Checkatrade with you”.
F Dm
Swerving the Checkatrade, swerving the Checkatrade
Bb Gm C7
Swerving the Checkatrade with you
F A
My heart is like a hand grenade
Dm Bb
My head feels like it’s been waylaid
Gm C7 F C7
Swerving the Checkatrade with you.
verse 2
F
I’d followed you for half a mile
Dm
And in what seemed like quite a while
Bb Gm C7
I found a way in which to tell it true:
F A
Oh, I like a pint, I like a brawl
Dm A
I like a scone but most of all
Bb C7 F C7
I’d like to swerve the Checkatrade with you.
F Dm
Yeah, swerving the Checkatrade, swerving the Checkatrade
Bb Gm C7
So we may get to bill and coo
F A
I’d weighed up all the pro’s and con’s
Dm Bb
Of watching th’under twenty-ones
Gm C7 F C7
Swerving the Checkatrade with you.
Outro
F
Oh, let me gaze upon your curves
Dm Bb
Instead of Ipswich Town reserves
Gm C7 F A
Swerving the Checkatrade with you……
Gm C7 F A
Swerving the Checkatrade with you……
Gm C7 F
Swerving the Checkatrade with you.
