C F G7 C
Now I'm a young inventor, a chap with good ideas,
F G7 C B7 G7 G7sus2 G7
I've built myself a camera, it took me years and years.
C F G7 Am
It's a wonderful invention with special x-ray tricks,
G Gdim G D G G7
It can take a picture in the dark and can even see through bricks.
E7 Am E7 Am
I bought myself an album and filled it up with snaps,
D D7 G G7
And I've got some lovely pictures of the local girls and chaps.
Verse 1
C C6 G7sus4 G7 G7sus4 G7 C
Now I've got a picture of the girl next door, in my little snapshot album,
C C6 G7sus4 G7 G7sus4 G7 C
And I've never had a better snap before, in my little snapshot album.
Dm Em
The night was dark and the hour was late,
F C G7 C
She was kissing her boy by the garden gate,
Dm E7 Am G7 C
Wouldn't she love to see page eight, in my little snapshot album.
Verse 2
C C6 G7sus4 G7 G7sus4 G7 C
And I've got a picture of my old granddad, in my little snapshot album.
C C6 G7sus4 G7 G7sus4 G7 C
He's over eighty but a real bad lad, in my little snapshot album
Dm Em
Although he's an old antique,
F C G7 C
He thinks he's still the village sheik,
Dm E7 Am G7 C
I've got him dancing cheek to cheek in my little snapshot album.
Verse 3
C C6 G7sus4 G7 G7sus4 G7 C
Now I've got a picture of the vicar's wife, in my little snapshot album.
C C6 G7sus4 G7 G7sus4 G7 C
Chasing the Curate with a carving knife in my little snapshot album.
Dm Em
Now what he did was all in fun
F C G7 C
But it's not the kind of thing that's done,
Dm E7 Am G7 C
I can see he pinched her hot-cross bun, in my little snapshot album.
Verse 4
C C6 G7sus4 G7 G7sus4 G7 C
And I've got a picture of a nudist camp, in my little snapshot album,
C C6 G7sus4 G7 G7sus4 G7 C
All very jolly but a trifle damp, in my little snapshot album.
Dm Em
There's Uncle Dick without a care,
F C G7 C
Discarding all his underwear,
Dm E7 Am G7 C
But his watch and chain still dangle there, in my little snapshot album!
