 [G] Now I'm grown up and playing in a band,                                           
 [D] And there's a car park where the pally used to  [G] stand.                        
My sister's  [G] married and she lives on an estate.                                   
[D] Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to  [G] wait.                              
 [C] She knows they get away with  [G] things she never could,                         
 [D] But if I asked her I [G] wonder if she would,                                     
                                                                                       
[Chorus]

Hold the Em for two measures, then modulate to the key of Eb. This is the
