It was a [E]natural state of af[G]fairs; it was a [E]quiet ambition of [G]hers
She had a [E]room overlooking the [G]lawn; it was a [E]perfect August [D]morn

[E]?King James? under the [G]bed.
[D]No broken bones, no gaping [C]wound about 10 [D]centimetres [E]wide

[C]Old age [D]killed my teenage [E]bride.[G][E][G][E][G][D]
She didn?t [E]care for adrenaline [G]sports, never l[E]earned any difficult [G]chords

And yester[E]day at a hundred and [G]one, she had a [E]shower, cup of tea and a [G]scone
And just as ?[E]Cash In The Attic? came [G]on.
[D]Such sweet delight upon her [C]face, no armed res[D]ponse team stood out[E]side
[C]No torso [D]washed upon the [E]tide,[C] it could not [D]be more cut and [E]dried

And I [E]hold no particular [G]creed, I?ve never [E]coveted things I don?t [G]need
Under [E]ladders I walked without [G]fuss ?cos it [E]stopped me getting hit by a [D]bus?.
And she [C]turned to the [D]children at her [E]side

Seems[C] old age [D]killed my teenage [E]bride
