Did you see his name in the local paper? Stole a tin of beans
D                 E                  D                  A
From a cut-priced grocery store, the judge said he must pay

So he put him on probation, and the paper gave his name

Did you see his name in the criminal section and the center page?
Gave his name and his address, stopped him doing it again
So they put him to dishonor, and they put the man to shame

He lost his little job, his employer was absolved of blame
G                             Em
His world just crumbled down, incindently

Did you see his name in the obituary column, letters edged in black?
Life was much too hard to live, so he brought it to an end
In his gas-filled bassonett because he couldn't stand the strain

      A     E         D     A             E     A
La la la la la, la la la la la la,  la la la la la
D                 E                   D                A
Life was much too hard to live, so he brought it to an end

In his gas-filled maisonette because he couldn't stand the strain

        A       E
Did you see his name?
Did you see his name?
Did you see his name?
