         Intro
         Cm  G7 Eb G7
         
         Verse 1
         
         Cm                      G7
         Mister Willoughby whose only luxury is the

         Eb                  G7
         Sugar in his tea teaches history at

         Cm  Cm7 Ab   G7  Cm      G7
         High Worthington School

             Cm                      G7
         His clothing has remained unnoticeably plain

             Eb                    G7
         His common room technique suitably restrained

         Cm     Cm7 Ab G7  Cm
         Though may-be too cool.

         Ab6                                                       G7
         Work done in the summery sun see the cricket ball fly intently

                Cm                  Eb            F7
         Like a strange demented bird towards the sun

            Cm                       G7
         Considering its flight he pauses for a while

         Eb                              G7
         Ah, but mister Willoughby we've never seen you smile

         Cm Cm7 Ab  G7        Cm
                  Tell me how come
         
         Chorus
         
         Ab  G7                             Cm      Eb   F7
         Ahhhhhh, for sometimes it must get lonely 

         Ab  G7                          Cm     G7 Eb G7
         Ahhhhhh, but it's life and life only.
         
         Verse 2
         
         Chorus
         
         Verse 3
         
         After 3rd verse
         
         Ab  G7                             Cm      Eb
         Ahhhhhh, but sometimes it does get lonely
         Ab  G7                          Cm  G7     Eb G7
         Ahhhhhh, but its life and life      only
         
         Cm  G7
         
         Eb               G7           Cm    G7   \ repeat and fade
            Ah, but it's life and life     only   / 
         
         
         
         I believe Al plays this with a capo on the 3rd fret making the 
         chord transpositions 
         Cm  -> Am
         G7  -> E7
         Eb  -> C
         Cm7 -> Am7
         Ab  -> F
         Ab6 -> F6
         F7  -> D7
         C7  -> A7
         
         
         The opening notes played over the chord progression are :-
           Cm    G7    Eb    G7
         ---------------------------
         ---------------------------
         ---------------------------
         ---------------------------
         --3--3--5--5--6--6--5--5---
         ---------------------------
         This is repeated at various times throughout the song.
