Intro: 4/4 | | | | | | x2 ("Tux on" is whispered 4 times during the intro) He has eyes down at the bingo on that lucky Friday night The match was rained off Saturday but the panel came in bright And on Sunday your mates were toasting you with champagne down the pub And on Monday you went to London To pick the cheque up with your mum You had a tux on You had a tux on The first time you had a tux on lucky man There's a photo on the mantelpiece, when you bought your first guitar And your girlfriend came to see you when you were the rising star You knew your luck was holding when you filled the local hall The first time and the last time that you thought you had control You had a tux on, lucky man you had a tux on You got a tux on tux on Now you're touring stadiums, you've let it go too far Standing with your manager, your back to every bar Burning all your credit cards, chopping out the pain Crowding into toilets with a host of your new-found friends You got a tux on, nothing's changed you got a tux on Lucky man with a tux on you're still the same with a tux on Solo: | | | x3 | | | | | Interlude: | | | | | | It was eyes down in the parlour, they prayed it wouldn't rain A brother pulled his cuffs down to hide the blue-black vein His razor'd more than lines out, they found him just too late The final performance, the main man lies in state With a tux on, look at him now with a tux on The last time with a tux on take him away with a tux on Somewhere in a tenement, in a well-thumbed magazine Someone finds a photograph that triggers of a dream The uniform that symbolises the comfortable life He's always known his luck's in but now he's found the drive He's got a tux on, look at him now with a tux on He's gonna get one with a tux on free admission with a tux on Get it anyway with a tux on He's got a tux on the easy way with a tux on tux on End on _________________________________ Is your index finger too weak to play barre-chords?
