[Intro]
G     D

[Verse 1]
                E7          F
Sick and tired, uninspired
                        G            D
I'm out of work but I'm not retired
                       E7              F
I watch the news and I read the press
                        G                             Am
I might be down but I'm not depressed, 'cause there's


[Chorus]
             E            F
Hoi Poloi in high places
          G                  Am
Everybody knows their faces
                     E          F
See them on a silver TV screen
                   G              D
Having holidays or at the races


[Verse 2]
                  E7            F
In my bed where I rest my head
                     G              D
I could get up but I dream instead
                 E7          F
My little island in the sun
                       G                        Am
Invite some guests and have some fun with those


[Chorus]
             E            F
Hoi Poloi in high places
          G                  Am
Everybody knows their faces
                     E          F
See them on a silver TV screen
                   G 
Having holidays or at the races


[Bridge]
C          Am        F           G
Oh, what a beautiful world to be here in
C          Am      F            G         D
Riches and graces, places to be seen in


[Verse 3]
                       E7               F
I lost my job, but I'm not downhearted
                         G             D
I might be slow, but I'm not retarded
                               E7
I watch the news, read all the magazines
F                    G                        Am
One day, baby, gonna meet the queen and those


[Chorus]
             E            F
Hoi Poloi in high places
          G                  Am
Everybody knows their faces
                     E          F
See them on a silver TV screen
                   G
