Slapp Happy – The Drum chords

G                                    D  Get in line, keep in time with the Drum

                                      G& don't forget you're nothing yet but water.

                             DAre you coming to or coming  from

                                         Cthe understanding that I'm handing it to you?

                                 GOr is that a job you don't dare  do?

                                  CHey, my pretty flower, there's a  letter for you

                        Gyou'll find it on the   shelf

                    FWell though it was  posted in Calcutta

                                      G                  I know it's just another that you've  written to yourself

G            D                 C                D We watched a  distant drummer flashing

G       D                C                      D on the beat in all his  parrot fashions.



G                                  D Get in line keep in time with the Drum

                                      G& Don't forget you're nothing yet but water

                                          DDon't move your feet until the next beat  comes 

                            COne of the laws says pause between
   
                                   GI would hate to make the game seem mean

                              CHey my pretty flower can you  guess where I've been?
 
                  G              Can you guess at  all?

               FWell I've been to your rooms and learned

                                             Gyou have all the mirrors turned against the  wall.

G                              "D for Drum!" Listen now to the sound of the Drum -

                                      G& don't forget we're nothing yet but  water.

                                               DIt won't be pleasant when the present time is  done

                                           Ctesting nightly 'neath a sprightly summer  moon

                               Gyour spirit like a jelly in a  spoon.

                                CHey ma pretty flower there's a  cat in the room

                            G& it's not the type you're  used to

          FThough I  think I led it to the sink


& tried to make it drink

     Git refused to. 


G      D         G       D       G       D      G      D      G                woohlalalaalalalalalalala
