HANDBAGS & GLADRAGS    STEREOPHONICS / ROD STEWART ( originally MIKE D'ABO )


Capo 3rd Fret

Verse:
G                               F
Ever seen a blind man cross the road
  C                       D
trying to make the other side
G                               F
Ever seen a young girl growing old
  C                        D
trying to make herself a bride

Chorus:

Em                         D
So what becomes of you my love
 G                                  A7
When they have finally stripped you of
     C 
The handbags and the gladrags
            D                                G
That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy
Baby

Verse:
Once I was a young man
and all I thought I had to do was smile
You are still a young girl
and you bought everything in style
Listen

Chorus:
But once you think you're in you're out
cause you don't mean a single thing without
the handbags and the gladrags
that your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy

Verse:
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And take a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake them all in a pie

Chorus:
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy

They told me you missed school today
So I suggest you just throw them all away
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy ya
