Note:
When playing the line: A terraced house in a mean street back of town, you mute the D on back.
[Verse 1]
Am C
No milk today, my love is gone away.
E Am E Am
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn.
C
No milk today, it seems a common sight,
E Am E Am
But people passing by don't know the reason why.
A G
How could they know just what this message means,
D E A
The end of all my hopes, the end of all my dreams,
G
How could they know, a palace there had been,
D E A
behind the door where my love reigned as queen.
Am C
No milk today, it wasn't always so,
E Am E Am
The company was gay, we turn'd night into day.
[Chorus]
A E F#m E
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A E D
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
A E F#m E
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
D E
Just two up two down.
[Verse 2]
Am C
No milk today, it wasn't always so,
E Am E Am
The company was gay, we turn'd night into day.
C
As music played the faster did we dance
E Am E Am
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance.
A G
How could they know just what this message means,
D E A
The end of all my hopes, the end of all my dreams,
G
How could they know, a palace there had been,
D E A
behind the door where my love reigned as queen.
Am C
No milk today, my love is gone away.
E Am E Am
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn.
[Chorus]
A E F#m E
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A E D
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
A E F#m E
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
D E
Just two up two down.
[Verse 3]
Am C
No milk today, my love is gone away.
E Am E Am
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn.
C
No milk today, it seems a common sight,
E Am E Am
But people passing by don't know the reason why.
A G
How could they know just what this message means,
D E A
The end of all my hopes, the end of all my dreams,
G
How could they know, a palace there had been,
D E A
behind the door where my love reigned as queen.
Am C
No milk today, it wasn't always so,
E Am E Am
The company was gay, we turn'd night into day.
[Repeat 3x times and on the third time fade out]
A E F#m E
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A E D
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
