Snookeroo
Written by Bernie Taupin and Elton John
Taken from the album "Goodnight Vienna" by Ringo Starr
Transcribed by Petteri Jarvinen
[D]I was born in the [A]north of England
I was [Bm]raised in a working [G]town
I [D]broke all the rules when I [A]went to school
But the [Bm]teachers couldn't pin me [G]down
[D]I tried to make my [A]parents proud
By a[Bm]dapting to the social [G]powers
Oh [D]pigs will fly, and the [A]earth will fry
When they [Bm]get me doing honest [G]hours
[Bm]Snookeroo, Snookeroo
[A]Daddy's going on the booze
[Bm]Mother used to cut my hair
And [A]sister used to make the news
Oh it was [Bm]two rooms up and two rooms down
And we were [A]sentenced by the wrecking crane
I was [D]born on the [G]eve of [Bm]Halloween
And [G]Snookeroo, Snookeroo, [A]Snookeroo's my [D]name.
[D]I need someone to [A]cook for me
And [Bm]turn me loose at [G]night
[D]I could spend my life with a [A]factory girl
'Cause the [Bm]factory girl's my [G]type
[D]I hear them gossip [A]on the street
[Bm]Most of what they say is [G]true
Oh [D]don't you know that I [A]hear them say
There goes that [Bm]lazy, no-good Snooke[G]roo
(Repeat chorus)
