To shower dry cordials with - in,

                                A7

Too late to leap the chocolate gate...

[Verse 2]

D                            Bm

   While destiny prepares to fly,

                          Bm/F# G

The farmyard chorus sings it's wake,

Upstanding anthem to the sky...

            You were the raven of Oc - tober,

(...is ours-------------------,  ...is ours!



  Bm/F# G                                 A7

            I knew the sign you flew a - round,

...is ours-------------------,   . ..is  ours!)



D                               Bm

    Up in the air, so high a - bove me,

Bm/F# G                         A7

          Never needed to look down!

   I never thought I'd be a rover,

Bm/F# G                         A7    A7 A7/G A7/F# A7/E

        I didn't even look a - round,|  /   /   /   /  |

D                                    Bm

   But now I know you've found a - nother,

         So will someone please find me?





[Verse 5]

D                                 Bm

    Give now the host his claret cup,

                           Bm/F#  G

And watch madeira's fare - well drink,

                         A7

Note his reaction, acid sharp,

N.C.

  ...Should make the cognoscenti think!
