Am Dm
"I represent a firm of gentlemen who recently purchased this

house and all the others in the road,
Am Dm Am G Dm
In the interest of humanity we've found a better place for you to go-go-go."
MRS. BARROW (A TENANT)

"Oh no, this I can't believe,
Oh Mary, they're asking us to leave."
MR. PEBBLE
(hardly detectable guitar on last bit)
"Get 'em out by Friday!
I've told you before, 's good many gone if we let them stay.
And if it isn't easy,
You can squeeze a little grease and our troubles will soon runaway."

"Now we've got them!
I've always said that cash cash cash can do anything well.
Work can be rewarding
When a flash of intuition is a gift that helps you
excel-sell-sell."

"Here we are in Harlow New Town, did you recognise your block
Am G Dm
across the square, over there,
Am Dm
Sadly since last time we spoke, we've found we've had to raise the

rent again, just a bit."
MRS. BARROW

Oh Mary, and we agreed to leave."
