G    C

[Verse 1]
G                     C
Down the way from the Tottenham Court Road
G                          C
Just round the corner from old Soho
D                         G
There's a place where the publishers go
                        C
If you don't know which way to go
     G                  C
Just open your ears and follow your nose
         D                          G
'Cos the street is shakin' from the tapping of toes
                  C          G          C
You can hear that music play anytime on everyday
D             G
Every rhythm, every way
            F             C
You go to a publisher and play him your song
           G                       C
He says 'I hate your music and you hair is too long
    D             C              G
But I'll sign you up because I'd hate to be wrong'

[Bridge]
G
You've got a tune it's in your head you want to get it placed
       E7                A                 D7                G
So you take it down to a music man just to see what he will say
G
He says "I hate the tune, I hate the words but I'll tell you what I'll do
     E7                      A                    D                   G
I'll sign you up and take it round the street and see if it makes the grade
        A                                D
And you might even hear it played on the rock 'n' roll hit parade"

[Verse 2]
G                    C          G                 C
Daytime, night time, every week you can hear that heavy beat
        D                          G
Now the walls are shaking from the tapping of feet
         F           C         G       F          C
Daytime, night time, every day you can hear that music play
D             G
Every rhythm, every way
