Fantastic song by TMTCH. Couldn t find the chords for this so I thought I d have a go at
it myself. I am aware that this is only a rough outline for the song,it is there to be
improved on
Intro
Hey now Tommy have you got a new shirt
is it s colour a fine bright blue
Has your mother sent you off to your school
from the street with a pretty view
Shall we wrestle in the old school yard
like the other children do
You can scuff your shoes,you can tear your hands
and I ll rip that shirt off you
Hey there Tommy since you moved away
they ve taken our town and they ve made it new
Now there stands a chemical plant
Where the cherry orchard grew
And I married Lucy from the back of our class
who once wrote letters to you
And we ve got kids and we send them to school
from the street with a pretty view
Oh oh in your shirt of blue,Oh oh in your shirt of blue
Maybe Tommy,we grew up too quick
from the fields where the flowers grow
From a butterfly stick to a baton and a brick
Changing uniforms far too soon
Hey there Tommy shall we meet again
in the morning wet with dew
Me at the gates of the colliery
And you in your shirt of blue
Shall we wrestle in the muddy patch
like the other poor men do
We can scuff our boots we can tear our hands
And I ll rip that shirt off you
Oh oh in your shirt of blue,Oh oh in your shirt of blue
Maybe Tommy,we grew up too quick
from the fields where the flowers grow
From a butterfly stick to a baton and a brick
Changing uniforms far too soon
Oh oh in your shirt of blue,Oh oh in your shirt of blue
Oh oh in your shirt of blue,Oh oh in your shirt of blue
Oh oh in your shirt of blue,Oh oh in your shirt of blue
