[Intro]
Fmaj7   C    Fmaj7  C  C/B 
Am    G    Fmaj7  C  

[Verse 1]
        Fmaj7              
Did you get the job and did 
               C
they use your song?
            Fmaj7      
Did you find somewhere 
                  C
nice to call your home?
                   Em
Look after yourself
                     Am
Good health is wealth
    Fmaj7                   
And now we say words that we
         G
 never believed we'd say-ay-ay

[Chorus]
Fmaj7                Cmaj7
 The monsters of Pig Alley say
              Fmaj7      
"Why don't you give it a 
                   Cmaj7
rest and come back home?
                  Am
We're drab and we moan
                   G
But we're all your own
 and we love you"

[Instrument]
C        C  

[Verse 2]
        Fmaj7               
Did you meet the star makers 
                 Cmaj7
and the leg breakers?
    Fmaj7              
And what difference is 
                  C
there between the two?
                   Em
But what would you do
                 Am
If the dream came true?
    Fmaj7                   
And now we say words that we
         G
 never believed we'd say-ay-ay

[Chorus]
Fmaj7                Cmaj7
 The monsters of Pig Alley say
              Fmaj7      
"Why don't you pack it in 
               Cmaj7
and come back home?
                       Am
We're not sophisticated
                     G    
We're overweight and dated 
             Fmaj7        C
but we love you, we love you"

[Instrument]
Bb    Fmaj7   C  Bb   
 Fmaj7    C      G

[Verse 3]
        Fmaj7                
Now the phone goes unanswered
         C
 in your room
            Fmaj7       
When you've tasted fame,
                   C
 nothing else will do
     Em            Am
Body found on open ground
    Fmaj7                   
And now we say words that we 
         G
never believed we'd say-ay-ay

[Chorus]
Fmaj7                Cmaj7
 The monsters of Pig Alley say
              Fmaj7      
"Why don't you pack it in
               Cmaj7
 and come back home?
               Am    
The higher you climb,
              G
 the less you find"

[Outro]
Fmaj7   Cmaj7   Fmaj7    Cmaj7       
Fmaj7  Cmaj7   Fmaj7  Cmaj7
