Hoi Poloi ( Alan Hull ) from: Statues & Liberties --------- Intro: 1.) Sick and tired, uninspired, I'm out of work but I'm not retired D E7 F G I watch the new and I read the press, I might be down but I'm not depressed. D E7 F G Chorus: 'Cos there's, Hoi Poloi in high places, everybody knows their faces Am E F G see them on a silver TV screen, having holidays or at the races. Am E F G 2.) In my bed where I rest my head, I could get up but I dream instead D E7 F G my little island in the sun, invite some guests and have some fun. D E7 F G Chorus: With those, Hoi Poloi in high places, everybody knows their faces Am E F G see them on a silver TV screen, having holidays or at the races. Am E F G 3.) Oh what a beautiful world to be here in, C Am F G riches and graces, places to be seen in. C Am F G 4.) I lost my job but I'm not downhearted, I might be slow but I'm not retarded D E7 F G I watch the news, read all the magazines, one day baby gonna meet the queen. D E7 F G Chorus: And those, Hoi Poloi in high places, everybody knows their faces Am E F G see them on a silver TV screen, having holidays or at the races. Am E F G 5.)
