I Haven't Got Any Legs

(capo 1st fret)

C#m, B, A, E, B

         C#m
When I'm born

   B                   A
Oh it will be the start of something grand

         C#m
When I'm born

     B                  A
I'll grab my mother's finger with my tiny hand




          C#m            B               A         Abm
I've been waiting in the dark for such a long time now

   F#m                              Ab   A   B      

My parents gave up smoking just for me

     C#m               B               A         Abm
Oh I know I'll make it in the big wide world somehow

    F#m                                  Ab  A  B
But for the moment something's bothering me




  C#m             B
I haven't got any legs

  C#m             B
I haven't got any legs

  A                                            B
I think it's just down there they're sposed to grow

  C#m             B
I haven't got any legs

  C#m             Abm
I haven't got any legs

  F#m         B                E    B  A  E  B
I have a very long long way to go.




        C#m  B 
I could be a great inventor

A
I could go so far

        C#m  B
I could be a lab technician

A
Or a movie star




      C#m            B              A      Abm
But I make myself so miserable when I look down

      F#m                             Ab    A  B
Still nothing growing where my legs belong

           C#m              B                   A      Abm
I've tried giving them more room, tried hanging upside down

  F#m                               Ab     A  B
I hope it's nothing I've been doing wrong.



  C#m             B
I haven't got any legs

  C#m             B
I haven't got any legs

  A                            B
Gestation's very difficult and slow

  C#m             B
I haven't got any legs

  C#m             Abm
I haven't got any legs

  F#m         B                E
I have a very long long way to go.



    A
I'm feeling so excited now

    C#m         B
I'm very nearly due

    A
I'm coming any moment now

  C#m            B    A
Today's my big debut

B   Ab7                                   A  B
No! why are you looking at me like that?



  C#m             B
I haven't got any legs

          C#m              B
I've been born without any legs

    A                                  B
Oh, don't cry Mother, please try to be strong

  C#m             B
I haven't got any legs

     C#m            Abm
I'll never have any legs

      F#m            B            C#m   B  A  E  B
I was right to be suspicious all along.



C#m, B, A, E, B, C#m
Nooo!
