George Formby<\/p>\n

[F<\/em>] Now there\u2019s a sergeant major, enjoys life will he can.<\/span>
\nHe proves to all the ladies he\u2019s a [G7<\/em>]<\/strong> soldier and a [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> man.<\/span><\/p>\n

[F<\/em>]<\/strong> He sticks out his chest, two [Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> pillows in his vest,<\/span>
\nA [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> bolster under his rotunda, Our Sergeant [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Major.<\/span><\/p>\n

His [F<\/em>]<\/strong> medals break our hearts, he [Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> won them playing darts,<\/span>
\nAnd [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> while competing, who was cheating? Our Sergeant [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Major<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s [Am<\/em>]<\/strong> far away the [Em7<\/em>]<\/strong> worst friend [Am<\/em>]<\/strong> we\u2019ve ever had,
\n[Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> When he\u2019s far [D7<\/em>]<\/strong> away well, [Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> we\u2019re mighty glad. [C7<\/em>]<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In [F<\/em>]<\/strong> the canteen bar, you [Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> know what sergeants are,<\/span>
\n[C7<\/em>]<\/strong> When we\u2019ve passed out, who\u2019s the last out, Our Sergeant [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Major.<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s [F<\/em>]<\/strong> got a raucous voice, his [Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> language isn\u2019t choice,<\/span>
\nIn [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> clink we\u2019d shove him, how we\u2019d love him, Our Sergeant [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Major.<\/span><\/p>\n

His [F<\/em>]<\/strong> weight about he\u2019d throw, the [Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> wicked so and so,<\/span>
\n[C7<\/em>]<\/strong> Who\u2019d even smother his own mother, Our Sergeant [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Major.<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s [Am<\/em>]<\/strong> far away the [Em7<\/em>]<\/strong> worst friend [Am<\/em>]<\/strong> we\u2019ve ever had,<\/span>
\n[Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> When he\u2019s far [D7<\/em>]<\/strong> away well, [Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> we\u2019re mighty [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> glad.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our [F<\/em>]<\/strong> bugler goes his rounds, and [Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> when the bugle sounds.<\/span>
\nFor [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> everlasting, who\u2019s he blasting? Our Sergeant [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Major.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now he [F<\/em>]<\/strong> makes raw recruits, just [Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> tremble in their boots,<\/span>
\nHe [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> calls them slackers, who\u2019s gone crackers? Our Sergeant [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Major.<\/span><\/p>\n

His [F<\/em>]<\/strong> feet fill up the road, knock-[Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> kneed and pigeon toed,<\/span>
\n[C7<\/em>]<\/strong> We\u2019d sooner shoot him then salute him, Our Sergeant [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Major.<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s [Am<\/em>]<\/strong> far away the [Em7<\/em>]<\/strong> worst friend [Am<\/em>]<\/strong> we\u2019ve ever had,<\/span>
\n[Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> When he\u2019s far [D7<\/em>]<\/strong> away well, [Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> we\u2019re mighty [C7<\/em>]<\/strong> glad.<\/span><\/p>\n

The [F<\/em>]<\/strong> mascot goat we own, so [Gm<\/em>]<\/strong> big and fat has grown,<\/span>
\n[C7<\/em>]<\/strong> Wild and warlike, he\u2019s far more like, Our Sergeant [F<\/em>]<\/strong> Major.<\/span><\/p>\n
