Time: 6/8

[Verse 1]
G                          Am
She wanted her face to be famous 
                               G
She dragged it off down to the smoke
                                    C
Where she went on a show where they turn dreams to gold 
G             D            G 
And give real people false hope

[Verse 2]
G                          Am
She needed the comfort she needed the cheer 
                               G
Her children had all flown the nest
                          C
She desperately wanted to change her career 
       G              D            G 
To the thing that she felt she did best

[Chorus]
G                   C
Giving real hope to false people 
G                        D
Telling the world it can sing
G             C   
False hope to real folk 
        G            D            G
You can sing you can sing you can sing

[Verse 3]
G                              Am
He worked in a shop where they hated his guts
                          G
Lived in a house just the same
                       C
And all that he ever requested in life
       G             D          G 
Was no swear word prefix in his name

[Verse 4]
G                      Am
He wanted the glory he wanted the fame 
                          G
In limelight he wanted to soak
                             C
So he saved up the money and boarded the train
              G            D           G 
To where they give plastic people real hope

[Chorus]
G                   C
Giving real hope to false people 
G                        D
Telling the world it can sing
G             C   
False hope to real folk 
        G            D            G
You can sing you can sing you can sing

[Bridge]
     Am                        G
Take heed if your dreams are a staring  
     Am                     G
Dreamboat can end up on the rocks
     Am                           G         Em
That road paved with gold is just one block away 
         D                      G
From the rear end of Top Of The Pops 
         D                      G
From the rear end of Top Of The Pops
       Am                    G
If you want it don't tell us about it
    Am                        G 
And if you don't get it don't cry
     Am                 G           Em               
Just do as they say and follow your dreams
  D                     G
A fool is a weight of a fly 
  D                     G
A fool is a weight of a fly 

[Chorus]
G                   C
Giving real hope to false people 
G                        D
Telling the world it can sing
G             C   
False hope to real folk 
        G            D            G
You can sing you can sing you can sing

[Chorus]
G                   C
Giving real hope to false people 
G                        D
Telling the world it can sing
G             C   
False hope to real folk 
        G            D            G
You can sing you can sing you can sing
