C                            A7
You can read right through a book of matches
Dm7                  G7           
But that won’t make you smart
C                    C7           
You can laugh in the face of watches
F                  Fm              
But time will only break your heart

F             Fm             
Kings reign beneath umbrellas
C            A7
Hide pennies down in cellars
Dm              A7
And money pours down and yet
Dm7              G7
No everyone gets soaking wet

C                       F
When bores and bullies conspire
E7               A7
To stamp out your spark
D7 
Listen for…
    G7                  C
A Voice In The Dark

C                Am7        Dm7     G7
Not a moment too soon as we blue the moon
C          Am7       Dm7     G7   
And a wolf begins to howl in tune 
C               Am7     Dm7   G7
I announced for all mankind a boon 
C                     C7        
Stand aside you big baboon
            F          
Now I’m the a prize invention
           Fm               
You’re the image of yourself
C                          
Forget your cares
        A7             
And disapproving stares
D7
I’m not here to try to jump your borders
G7
Just ask your nieces and daughters 
C              Am7        Dm7         G7
I’m flat as sole, I’m happy as a clam
C              Am7        Dm7         G7    [ C   A/C# D7 G7 ]
But they don’t know the kind of man I am  (alt  for this line only)
C              Am7        Dm7      G7
Little fish swimming in a jealous shoal
       C              C7
Now my net is overflowing
               F                     Fm
And I suddenly seem to be all seeing and all knowing
       C
I’ve got something right there
         A7
That you might want to hear
D7
But have no fear 
Lend a hand 
Lend an ear
G7
If your rent-money is in arrears 


C                               A7
We’ll be striking up a symphony bandstand
Dm7              G7
Long of hair and loose of tooth
C                          C7                 
There’ll be pirouettes and startling handstands
F                                Fm              
And who but acrobats know how to tell the truth
F                 Fm        
When is said that then redundant
C                 A7           
They gallivant in peg-leg pants
Dm7
I‘ll be your servant
       A7       
You’ll be my pal
Dm7                       G7
I’ll be ever faithful you know I shall
C               F              
There’s no fool like an old fool
E7                A7
Who blames it all upon his youth
Dm7            G7                            
When times are tough and you find you’re down
Em7       A7               
Without a star to wish upon
D7                G7            C      
Just listen for a Voice In The Dark


C                        A7           
I was striking through a box of matches
Dm7         G7             
Hoping that one would spark
C                C7              
I heard somebody calling to me 
F           
A voice in the dark

F                    Fm
A sound both wild and gentle
Em7        A7            
Daring and confidential
Dm7                 A7          
I thought there was music playing 
Dm7               G7          
But it was all and only talk

C              F                E7           A7        
When liars and bullies conspire to stamp out your spark
D7                 G           
Fill up that empty space in your heart
Em7                 A7           
Listen up, when the herald says, “Hark”
D7                G7           C        
Believe in just a voice in the dark…
