Do You Remember Walter?

Written by Ray Davies
Demystified by Jim Smart

Intro is a C chord. It’s just a C scale, starting on G.

[C]Walter, remember when the world was young
And all the girls knew[Eb] Walter's n[Bb]ame?
[F]Walter, isn't it a sha[Cm]me the way our li[F]ttle world has [Bb]changed?
[Cm7]Do you remember, Walter, playing cricket in the th[D]under and the rai[G]n?
[Cm7]Do you remember, Walter, smoking cigarettes behind[D] your garden gate[G]?
Yes, [Ab]Walter was my[Eb] mate,
But [G]Walter, my old fr[F]iend, where are you no[C]w?

cool drum fill over bouncing C chord...
melody plays over C chord, then ...

[Eb]Walter's n[Bb]ame
[F]Walter, isn't it a sha[Cm]me the way our li[F]ttle world has [Bb]changed?
[Cm7]Do you remember, Walter, how we said we'd fight the wo[D]rld so we'd be fr[G]ee.
[Cm7]We'd save up all our money and we'd buy a boat and sa[D]il away to sea[G].
But i[Ab]t was not to [Eb]be.
I [G]knew you then but d[F]o I know you no[C]w?
[C]Walter, you are just an echo of the world we knew so [Eb]long ag[Bb]o
[F]If you saw me [Cm7]now you wouldn't e[F]ven know my na[Bb]me.
[Cm7]I bet you're fat and married and
you're always home in b[D]ed by half-past [G]eight.
And if I t[Cm7]alked about the old times
you'd get bored and you'll have no[D]thing left to [G]say.
Yes p[Ab]eople often c[Eb]hange, but m[G]emories of p[F]eople can remai[C]n.

Ev[F]erybody's push[C]ing one anoth[G]er around
B[D]ig Sky feels s[C]ad when he sees the c[G]hildren scream and cry
But B[F]ig Sky's too b[C]ig to let it get him d[G]own

Big Sky's too big to cry  [D]     [C]         [G]
Big Sky's too high to see [D]     [C]         [G]
People like you and me [D]    [C]       [G]           [F]

O[Bb]ne d[Gm]ay we[Eb]'ll be f[Bb]ree
W[Eb]e won't c[Bb]are [Eb]just you s[Bb]ee
[Bb]Till [Gm]that d[Eb]ay can[Bb] be don't [Eb]let it get you down
And w[Eb]hen I see that the wo[Bb]rld's too much for me
I t[Eb]hink of The Big Sky and nothing ma[Bb]tters much to me

B[D]ig Sky looked do[C]wn on all the people who think they'[G]ve got problems
They get depressed and they hold their heads in their hands and they cry
The people lift up their hands and they look up to The Big Sky
But The Big Sky's too big to sympathize

Big Sky's too occupied   [D]      [C]         [G]
Though he would like to try
When he feels glad inside
Big Sky's too big to cry

O[Bb]ne d[Gm]ay w[Eb]e'll be [Bb]free
We won't care just you wait and see                            Bb
Till that day can be don't let it get you down

And the sky is wide, so let the sun shine bright ...CHORUS

VILLAGE GREEN

[Cm]Out in the [Fm]country
[Bb]Far from a[Eb]ll the soot and [Ab]noise of the c[Fm]ity
[G7]There's a village [Cm]green
[Cm]It's been a[Fm] long time
[Bb]Since I la[Eb]st set eyes on the c[Ab]hurch with the[Fm] steeple
[G7]Down by the villag[Cm]e green
[Cm] Ah la la l[Fm]a la
[Bb]'Twas there I m[Eb]et a girl call D[Ab]aisy        [Fm]
[G7]And kissed her by the [Cm]old oak tree
[Cm] Ah la la l[Fm]a la
[Bb]Although I [Eb]loved my Daisy, [Ab]I sought fam[Fm]e
[G7]And so I left the [Cm]village green

{section: Chorus}
[Fm]I miss the [Fm]vil[E]lage gre[Fm]en,[Eb] And all the [Fm]sim[D]ple people
[Cm]I miss the [Cm]vil[B]lage gre[Cm]en,[Bb] The church, [Cm]the[A] clock, the steeple
[D]I miss the morning dew, [G]fresh air and Sunday school

And now all the houses are rare antiquities
American tourists flock to see the village green
They snap their photographs and say "Gol' darn it
Isn't it a pretty scene?"
And Daisy's married Tom the grocer boy
And now he owns a grocery ...CHORUS

And I will return there
And I'll see Daisy
And we'll sit and laugh
And talk about the village green

[Cm]La la la l[Fm]a la[Bb]    [Eb]
[Ab]We will la[Fm]ugh and [G7]talk about the vi[Cm]llage green

Starstruck

[F]Baby, [C]you don't know what you're [F]saying

[C]Because you're a victim of [Bb]pride's [Am]cit[Gm]y  [F]lights

And your [Bb]mind [Am]is [Gm]not [F]right

You think the [C]world's [F]at your [Bb]feet

'Cos you're starstruck baby starstruck

[F]You're starstruck baby starstruck

[Bb]Starstruck baby starstruck

You know that you're star[Am]struck [Gm]on [F]me

Baby, you're runnin' around like you're crazy
You go to a party and dance through the night
And you'll drink 'til you're tied
And then you're out on your feet

Bop, bop; etc.   [F]-[C]-[Bb]    [C]-[Bb]-[Am]-[Gm]  [C]-[Bb]-[Am]-[Gm]

Baby, watch out or else you'll be blue
'Cos once you're addicted to wine and champagne
It's gonna drive you insane
Because the world's not so tame

PHENOMENAL CAT

A l[D]ong, long t[G]ime a[D]go, in a la[D]nd of id[G]iot b[D]oys
There l[G]ived the c[D]at, a ph[F]enomenal c[C]at
Who l[Bb]oved to wallow all d[F]ay

No one bothered him as he sat, content in his tree
He just lived to eat cos it kept him fat
And that's how he wanted to stay

CHORUS #1:
 [Dm]                    [A]            [C]
[F]Though he was big and fat, all the world was good to him
And he po[Dm]inted out on the m[A]ap all the p[C]laces he had [Fsus4]been
 [Dm]      [Dm/G]    [Dm] [F] [Dm] [E]
Cowe[Dm]s, [C]Sardini[Dm]a, [Bb]Katma[A]ndu, The Scilly Isles and Sahara, too

Fum, fum, diddle-um di

La la la la, la-la la la la
La la la la-la la la

CHORUS #2:
Once when he was thin, he had flown to old Hong Kong
And had learned the secret of life, and the sea and the sky beyond
So he gave up his diet and sat in a tree
And ate himself through eternity

NOTE:  The only difference with the previous version is the little intro.
Of course you really need a flute to make it recognizable.

[E]My big day, it was the biggest day of my l[A]ife
[F#m]It was the summit of [A]my long career
But [E]I felt so down, and I d[A]rank too much beer
And my [F#m]manager said that I s[A]hould not appear

I walked out onto the stage and started to speak
The first night I've missed for a couple of years
I explained to the crowed and they started to jeer
And just when I wanted no one to be there

CHORUS #1:
A[E]ll of my fr[E7]iends were t[A]her[A/Ab]e     [F#m]
         [F#m] [E]            [D]                 [D/C#]
N[Bm7/A]ot just my friends, but their best friends too
[Ab]All of my f[Ab7]riends were t[C#7]here to s[F#]tand and st[B]are
[B7]                  [E]             [E7]              [A]
S[A/Ab]ay wha[F#m]t they may, all of their friends need not stare
            [F#m] [E]           [D]          [D/C#]
T[Bm7/A]hose who laughed were not friends anyway
[Ab]All of my f[Ab7]riends were th[C#7]ere to st[F#]and and st[B]are

Days went by, I walked around dressed in a disguise
I wore a mustache and I parted my hair
And gave the impression that I did not care
But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the dispair

Came the day, helped with a few last glasses of gin
I nervously mounted the stage once again
Got through my performance and no one complained
Thank God I can go back to normal again

CHORUS #2:
I went to that old cafe
Where I had been in much happier days
And all of my friends were there, and no one cared
Say what they may, all of my friends were there
Not just my friends, but their best friends too
All of my friends were there, now I don't care

WICKED ANNABELLA

{section: Intro}
{sot}E:--4-4-4-4-6-6-7--  (repeat){eot}

[Ab]In a dark and [F#]misty [E]house
W[Ab]here no Christian [F#]man has b[E]een
[A]Wicked Anna[E]bella [A]mixes a [E]brew
[Ab]That no one's [F#]ever [E]seen

Relatives have passed her by
Too scared to even say hello
She's in perpetual midnight
She shuts out the day
And goes about her sinful ways

{section: Bridge}
[A]I, I've seen her hair, I've seen her face
              E   RIFF 1
Look towards mine
[A]I, I've felt her eyes burning my soul
Twisting my [E]mind   [D]        [A]

Little children who are good
Should always go to sleep at night
'Cause Wicked Annabella is up in the sky
Hopin' they will open their eyes

Don't go into woods tonight
'Cause underneath the sticks and stones
Are lots of little demons enslaved by Annabella
Waiting just to carry you home

[E]        [E]       [E]      Ja ja, ja ja ja    ja ja, ja ja ja...

MONICA

[G]Under a lamp light, Monica stands at mid[D]night
A[D]nd every g[D7]uy think he can buy her lo[D]ve
But [D]money can't [D7]buy sweet lovin' from Mo[D]nica

Morning to moonshine, Monica knows every line
Don't ever propose cos Monica knows, you know
She'll turn up her nose and say what a fool you are

{section: Chorus}
[G]I, I shall [G7]die, [G]I, I shall [G7]die i[G]f I should lo[C]se Monica (Oh Monica my love)
[G]           [G7]    [G]         [G7]   [G]
Peo[C]ple can try, Pe[D]ople [D7]can try, but they can't buy Monica, my love

You take the sunshine, I'll take the nightly shadows
Cos everyone knows that Monica glows at night
She'll do something wrong and prove to you she is right ...CHORUS

Morning to moonshine, Monica knows every line
Don't ever propose cos Monica knows, you know
She'll turn up her nose and say what a fool you are

People Take Pictures of Each Other
Intro      [G]

[G]People take pictures of the summer
Just in [F]case someone thought they had missed it
And to [D]prove that it really existed

Fathers take picture of the mothers
And the sisters take pictures of brothers
Just to show that they love one another

You [C]can't picture love that you took from [C7]me
When we were young and the [F]world was [C]free
Pictures of things as they used to [C7]be, don't show me no more please

People take pictures of each other
Just to prove that they really existed
Just to prove that they really existed
People take pictures of each other
And the moment can last them forever
Of the time when they mattered to someone

[C]Nie na nie na   [C]Nie na nie na
[D]Nie na nie na   [Bb]Nie nie [G]nie na
[C]Nie na nie na   [C]nie na nie na
[D]Nie na nie na   [Bb]nie nie [G]nie na
[Bb]nie na [G]nie na   [Bb]nie na [G]nie na

People take pictures of the summer
Just in case someone thought they had missed it
Just to prove that it really existed
People take pictures of each other
And one moment will last them forever
At the time when they mattered to someone

A [C]picture of me when I was just [C7]three
Sat with my ma by the [F]old oak [C]tree
How I love things as they used to [C7]be, don't show me no more please

[G]la la la la la la la .... etc.
