[Verse]
 
E
Standing in the dock at Southampton
 
Trying to get to Holland or France
    E7
The man in the mac said
 
"You gotta go back"
 
You know they didnt even give us a chance
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                          A
Christ, you know it ain't easy
                         E
You know how hard it can be
                   B7
The way things are going
                      E
They're gonna crucify me.
 
 
[Verse]
 
E
Finally made the plane into Paris
 
Honeymooning down by the Seine
      E7
Peter Brown called to say,
 
"You can make it okay"
 
"You can get married in Gibraltar near Spain!"
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                           A
Christ, you know it ain't easy
                         E
You know how hard it can be
                   B7
The way things are going
                      E
They're gonna crucify me.
 
 
[Verse]
 
E
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
 
Talking in our beds for a week
    E7
The newspapers said,
 
"Say, what you doing in bed?"
 
I said, "We're only trying to get us some peace!"
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                           A
Christ, you know it ain't easy
                         E
you know how hard it can be
                   B7
The way things are going
                      E
They're gonna crucify me.
 
 
[Bridge]
 
A
Saving up your money for a rainy day
 
Giving all your clothes to charity
 
last night the wife said
 
Oh boy when you're dead
     B
You don't take nothing with you but your soul
 
Think!
 
 
[Verse]
 
E
Made a lightning trip to Vienna
 
Eating chocolate cake in a bag
    E7
The newspapers said, "She's gone to his head
 
They look just like two gurus in drag!"
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                           A
Christ, you know it ain't easy
                         E
You know how hard it can be
                   B7
The way things are going
                      E
They're gonna crucify me.
 
 
[Verse]
 
E
Caught the early plane back to London
 
Fifty acorns tied in a sack
    E7
The men from the press say "We wish you success!"
 
"It's good to have the both of you back!"
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                           A
Christ, you know it ain't easy
                         E
You know how hard it can be
                   B7
The way things are going
                      E
They're gonna crucify me.
 
                   B7
The way things are going
                      E
They're gonna crucify me.
 
B7      E
