  Saw my life go      flashing past in the eyes of a faithful friend



VERSE:

[Guitar figure 1]
Saw my life go flashing past in the eyes of a faithful friend.

[Guitar figure 1]
Four legs, four lives, and the screeching tyres never seemed to end.


CHORUS:
D                       E                    G                  D        A
I will change if Lester lives, not mess him 'round, just 'cos I own him.
D                   E               G
He was nearly wiped away but he had good luck and strong bones,
D            A
Inside and behind him.


VERSE:
You made me clench my teeth, us humans ain't got dignity.
Eat my plants and steal my things, you're the head of security.


CHORUS  [x2]


[last time: end on A6/7sus4]

   D            A6/7sus4
...inside and behind him
