The Kinks - Did You See His Name?: chords

 E       A       E           D     A
Did you see his name in the local paper
         E      A      D                 E
Stole a tin of beans from a cut-priced grocery
store?
     D                    A
The judge said, "He must pay"
        D             A              D
So, he put him on probation and the paper
          E
gave his name

Did you see his name in the criminal section
And the center page gave his name and his address
They stopped him doing it again
So, they put him to dishonour and put the man to
shame

G
He lost his little job
E                  Bm
His employer was absolved of blame
G                        E
His world just crumbled down
E                    A       E
Incidently, did you see his name in
      D        A
the obiturary column
        E          A
Letters edged in black
 D                 E
Life was much too hard to live
         D              A
So, he brought it to an end
        D               A
In his gas-filled maisonette
             D                   E
Because he couldn't stand the strain

Life was much too hard to live
So, he brought it to an end
In his gas-filled maisonette
Because he couldn't stand the strain

Did you see his name?
Did you see his name?
Did you see his name?
