     Am

1. Jacqueline was seventeen, working on a desk,

             F                                      G

    when Ivor peered above her spectacle,

                                  

    forgot that he had wrecked a girl.

Am                           F                                           G

    Sometime these eyes forget the face they're peering from,

                                   

    when the face they peer upon,

E                                            Am

    well, you know that face as I do,

                                 F

    And how in the return of the gaze

                     G                                            Am

    she can return you the face that you're staring from.

2. Gregor was down again, said,        'Come on, kick me again'

               G                               

    said, 'I'm so drunk I don't mind if you kill me'.

Am                       F                           G

    Come on you gutless, yeah, I'm alive, I'm alive.

E                                   Am

     I'm alive and how I know it,

    but for chips, and for freedom I could die.
