The Tiger Lillies - Cancer

        Tiger Lillies - Cancer


G
Uncle Bill and auntie Mary 
G
Always used to shout 
G
And uncle Bill would knock 
G
Auntie Mary about 
     C
With auntie Mary 
C
In such misery 
   G
I always thought that cancer 
    Am            G
Was like the cavalry 

     G  
When cancer cut Bill down 
G
They said what a crying shame 
G
Well I never thought so 
G
And Mary did the same 
      C
Let’s face it Bill 
C
You were a bastard through and through 
   G
So when that cancer cut him down 
Am             G
I did not feel blue 

G
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you 
G
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you 
C
Cancer it will set you free 
G             Am       G
The big C was like the cavalry 

G
  When he was on his deathbed 
G
One day for a joke 
G
Me and auntie Mary 
G
Fun at him we'd poke 
C
  As he lay there 
C
In his abject pain 
G
Me and auntie Mary 
   Am               G
We sung him this refrain 

G
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you 
G
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you 
C
Cancer it will set you free 
G             Am       G
The big C was like the cavalry 

G
  When he died 
G
Later that same day 
G
Me and auntie Mary 
G
For him didn’t pray 
    C
But sometimes on a winter’s night 
C
Though he has been long gone 
G   
Me and auntie Mary 
Am                  G
Still sing him this song 

G
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you 
G
Cancer cancer it’s so good for you 
C
Cancer it will set you free 
G             Am       G
The big C was like the cavalry
