Locked into Green Graham Parker

(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
