[A7)]To take my love my love to you

Run Down D-Db-D7 (do this by going D – D shape down one fret – then D7)

For well it may hap’ that these are they
Your happiest days
Oh my good old friend
I see you chanced your arm again
A7
you cut you arm again

Red faced president
Took afternoon tea with her majesty the Queen
And they watched old films flicker
Across the old palace movie screen
What a shame as she slipped in the rain
The poor dancing girl she won’t dance again

And they said it was a transmission
To take my love my love to you

Yes This was a transmission
To take my love my love to you

You ooh ooh ooh ooh
You ooh ooh ooh ooh
You ooh ooh ooh ooh
You ooh ooh ooh ooh
You ooh ooh ooh ooh
You ooh ooh ooh ooh

D – A7
Only to you

Don’t think its perfect, but its gigable. Others say the Rd faced president section is
but it really doesn’t fit.
