As recorded by Jamie Webster feat. Billy Bragg
(2023 release)
Capo 4th fret
[Chorus]
Am EmBa badadada ba
G DThe sun's out in the city
Am EmBa badadada ba
G DAnd everybody's on it
Am EmBa badadada ba
GThough the product's pretty
D CIt's en evident pity now
D EmThat they don't want it
D CNo, they just don't want it
[Bridge]
C EmLadies and gentlemen
BmI would like to introduce you
Em AmTo the tale of Fickle Fran
C G DYour local unofficial salesman
[Verse 1]
C EmFranny's not rich no, neither poor
Bm EmSells knock-off clobber door to door
Am CSays winter's far too cold
G DAnd the wages don't come near
C EmOn a sunny prom he'll sell to masses
Bm EmCheap handbags and fake sunglasses
Am CLike he's in a crackhouse
G DAnd he's a dealer pushing gear
[Pre-Chorus]
C G DSets up a stall near where the band begins to play
C G N.C.But Fran, he's living in ten years yesterday
N.C.
And as the bands sings
[Chorus]
Am EmBa badadada ba
G DThe sun's out in the city
Am EmBa badadada ba
G DAnd everybody's on it
Am EmBa badadada ba
GThough the product's pretty
D CIt's en evident pity now
D CThat they don't want it
[Bridge]
C Em BmAs the sun beats down and the beverages pour
Em Am CFran pulls a frown because the game he once knew
G DAin't the same anymore
[Verse 2]
C EmBurning skin, pouring sweat
Bm EmThe man's not sold an item yet
Am CHe sighs "Life's getting harder now
G DAnd this job's become a curse"
C EmFran admits with heavy shame
Bm Em"Things went downhill since Bezos came
Am CAnd all these eastern websites
G DWell they've made things even worse"
[Pre-Chorus]
C GPoor Fickle Francis
DJust won't admit defeat
C GHe now prays for winter
DTo get back on his feet
DAnd as the band sings
[Chorus]
Am EmBa badadada ba
G DThe sun's out in the city
Am EmBa badadada ba
G DAnd everybody's on it
Am EmBa badadada ba
GThough the product's pretty
D CIt's en evident pity now
D CThat they don't want it
[Bridge]
C G DSo he tries a different door
C G DWith claims of selling everything you need and more
C G D EmSays "I'm living with an eye on bailiffs after me"
C G DStill rather this than working in a factory
[Out-Chorus]
Am EmBa badadada ba
G DThe sun's out in the city
Am EmBa badadada ba
G DThe sun's out in the city
Am EmBa badadada ba
G DThe sun's out in the city
Am EmBa badadada ba
G DThe sun's out in the city
Am EmBa badadada ba
G DThe sun's out in the city
Am EmBa badadada ba
G DAnd everybody's on it
Am EmBa badadada ba
GThough the product's pretty
D CIt's en evident pity now
D EmThat they don't want it
