1.) 
The doorknob needs mending, the letters need sending,
     G				 C
the kitchens a disgrace, grease all over the place.

I see your pretty picture, the one you gave me last eastern
   G					 C

You've never think, of time till it passes you by

The ashtrays are brimful, my secrets are sinful
     G		    	      C
and I drink a lot now, it's the only friend I've got now.

4.) 
I'd write you a letter, there's a hole in my sweater

 Am		D		Am			D
