Royal In The Afternoon Tab

by Whitlams


Intro: 
 
 
          
          
 
 
 
Verse: 
 
 
               
Won't drink, won't smoke 
                  
Won't get home at a hundred o'clock 
                        
Nobody's going to satisfy me 
                              
Except you and the baby and the colour TV 
 
 
I was always in my prime 
Now I'm falling over the line 
The boys are sad to have let me go 
But you got it all to get me home 
 
 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
 
 
          
You quiet me down 
                             
I been all over the place and I ain't found anyone 
                 
Keep my feet on the ground, no 
 
 
 
Chorus: 
 
 
                          
Can we be bigger than my old habits 
                   
Over my dead body but still 
                  
If I am awake in the morning 
                         
We'll be royal in the afternoon 
 
 
 
          
          
(You'll be the queen, I'll be the king of it all) 
 
 
Verse: 
Words of a drunk 
Fade with the light 
Satan delivers and the goods are alright 
He's at home now counting the dough 
I'm standing here for another last throw. 
 
 
          
You quiet me down 
                             
I been all over the place and I ain't found anyone 
                 
Keep my feet on the ground, no 
 
 
Chorus: 
 
 
                          
Can we be bigger than my old habits 
                   
Over my dead body but still 
                  
If I am awake in the morning 
                         
We'll be royal in the afternoon 
 
 
 
Solo in / over  
          
         
 
 
 
Chorus: 
 
 
                          
Can we be bigger than my old habits 
                   
Over my dead body but still 
                  
If I am awake in the morning 
                         
We'll be royal in the afternoon 
 
 
          
          
(You'll be the queen, I'll be the mad king of it all 
Royal in the afternoo-oo-oon...)
