Thick as a brick (midi)

D C G D - G – D - G

1. Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

D C G D - G – D - G

My word’s but a whisper, your deafness a shout.

D C G D - G – D - G

I may make you feel but I can't make you think.

D C G D - G – D - G

Your sperm's in the gutter, your love's in the sink.

G A D

So you ride yourselves over the fields,

G A D

and you make all your animal deals,

G A D – A ~

and your wise men don't know how it fe….els

D - G – D – G D – G – D - G

to be thick as a brick.

2. And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away

D C G D - G – D - G

in the tidal destruction, the moral melee.

D C G D - G – D - G

The elastic retreat rings the close of play,

D C G D - G – D - G

as the last wave uncovers the newfangled way.

G A D

But your new shoes are worn at the heels,

G A D

and your suntan does rapidly peel,

G A D - A ~

and your wise men don't know how it fe……els,

D - G – D – G D – G – D – G - D

to be thick as a brick.

And the love that I feel is so far away,

G D - Fis

I'm a bad dream that I just ha….d tod….ay.

G A D - G – D – G …..

And you shake your head and say it's a shame.
