Bm I'd like to drop my trousers to the world Em G F#m I am a man of means (of slender means) Bm Each household appliance Em G F#m Is like a new science in my town Bm And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion Em G I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump F#m In the ocean Chorus: A And when a train goes by Bm G It's such a sad sound A Bm G It's such a sad thing I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen Every sensible child will know what this means The poor and the needy are selfish and greedy on her terms And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean Chorus: And when a train goes by it's such a sad sound It's such a sad thing And when I'm lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death And neither one particularly appeals to me And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie In the middle of the street and die I'd lie down and die You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Em  F#m  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
