Graham Parker Locked Into Green Lyrics

Locked Into Green Lyrics

Pre>(the subject of this song, william wittmam informs us, is snooker.)

G 	   dm		  em	    c
I find I fall into each night what passes for a dream
G		 dm			 em		  c
But all I see are pinks and blacks and I don’t know what they mean
Cm		gm		   bm 		e
My opponent’s got the edge but his face just can’t be seen
E  c	  d		   g c g
And i...........’m locked into green

I been up since 8 oclock smoking endless cigarettes
And I’ll be at the table as the bookies take their bets
A shot of drink to steady nerves and I’ll wipe that table clean
And i...........’m locked into green

C					 g
Reds and blues, yellows, greens and browns
C			   d
If I keep my eye in I will	put them down
Cm		   gm			 bm		  e
There’s other ways of life out there but there’s nothing they could mean
E  c    d		   g f e
Because i...........’m	locked into green
E  c    d		   g c g
Oh i...........’m locked into green
G 	    g  c g  g		  g	c g
I’m locked into green,	  I’m locked into green
G		  g
I’m locked into green /pre>
