A#mBmBC#F#F#D#mBC#F#
War made him a soldier, little Franky Mear
F#D#mBC#F#
Peace left him a loser, the little bombradier.
D#mBC#F#
Lines of worry appeared with age, unskilled hands that knew no trade
A#mBmBC#F#BBmF#
Spent his time in a picture(?) house, the little bombradier.
F#D#mBC#F#
Franky drank his money, the little that he made
F#D#mBC#F#
Told his woes to no man, friendless lonely days.
D#mBC#F#
Then one day in the ABC, four small eyes gazed longingly
A#mBmBC#F#
At the ice cream in the hand of the little bombradier.
C#mG#C#mG#C#mG#
Sunshine entered our Frankyʼs days
C#mG#
Gone his sorrows his hopeless maze
AC#G#
His life was fun and his heart was full of joy
C#mG#
Two young children had changed his his aims,
C#mG#
He bought the toffees and played their games
AC#G#
He bought them presents with every coin he made.
F#D#mBC#F#F#D#mBC#F#D#mBC#F#A#mBmBC#F#F#D#mBC#F#
Then two gentlemen called on him, asked him for his name
F#D#mBC#F#
Why was he friends with the children, were they just a game
D#mBC#F#
Leave them alone or weʼll get sore, weʼve had blokes like you in this nation
before
A#mBmBC#F#
The hand of authority said "no more" to the little bombradier.
D#mBC#F#
Packed his bags, his heart in pain, wiped a tear and caught a train
A#mBmBC#F#
Not to be seen in this town again, the little bombradier.
