THE END OF THE RAINBOW
Richard Thompson
Transcribed by Phil Saunders
(Capo 3rd fret, recorded in Cm, transcribed in Am)
[Intro]
F (single note) Am/E Am/G Am F F/C C G
[Verse]
Am F
I feel for you, you little horror
Dm G
Safe at your mother's breast
F C F G
No lucky break for you around the corner
Am F
'Cause your father is a bully
Dm G
And he thinks that you're a pest
Bb C/G Am
And your sister she's no better than a whore.
[Chorus]
Dm Am F G
Life seems so rosy in the cradle,
Am G F G
But I'll be a friend I'll tell you what's in store
Dm Am F G
There's nothing at the end of the rainbow.
Am G F G
There's nothing to grow up for anymore
Am F
Tycoons and barrow boys will rob you
Dm G
And throw you on the side
F C F G
And all because they love themselves sincerely
Am F
And the man holds a bread knife
Dm G
Up to you throat it's four feet wide
Bb C/G Am
And he's anxious just to show you what it's for.
Dm Am F G
Your mother works so hard to make you happy
Am G F G
But take a look outside your nursery door
Dm Am F G
There's nothing at the end of the rainbow.
Am G F G
There's nothing to grow up for anymore
Am F
All the sad and empty faces
Dm G
That pass you in the street
F C F G
All running in their sleep, all in a dream
Am F
Every loving handshake
Dm G
Is just another man to beat
Bb C/G Am
How your heart aches just to cut him to the core
