It took me years to write, will you take a look
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear

        C7                                C           
And his clinging wife doesn't understand
His son is working for the Daily Mail

It's a thousand pages give or take a few
        C7                      C            
I'll be writing more in a week or two
I could make it longer if you like the style
      C7                                                                        F

It could make a million for you overnight
If you must return it you can send it here
