E          C#m  F#m              C         D
Go down my road running just as fast as I can
E      C#m  F#m            C
Nobody knows which is the better way
              G#m         C#m
But when that man in the sky points his
         F#m
finger at you
          C
Don't you ever think no-one's better than you

Chorus:
E
God's great banana skin
Don't you laugh at nobody
                          G A
You'll let the bad luck in
E
God's great banana skin
                             G A
It's the way that it gets you

With every day good luck comes in
the strangest of ways
Just keep your head down don't listen
what your ego will say
'Cos when that man in the sky points
his finger at you
Don't you ever think no-one's better than you

Chorus:
God's great banana skin
Don't you laugh at nobody
You'll let the bad luck in
God's great banana skin
It's the way that it gets you

God's great banana skin
God's great banana skin

When that man in the sky points his finger at you
Don't you ever think no-one's better than you
Don't you ever think no-one's better than you
God's great banana skin
Gonna get you
God's great banana skin
