From the musical "The Hunting of the Snark". For simplicity, I have omitted the key changes.
| Then the Banker endorsed a blank cheque (which he crossed) |
| And changed his loose silver for notes |
| The Baker with care combed his whiskers and hair |
| And shook the dust out of his coats |
| The maker of Bonnets ferociously planned |
| A novel arrangement of bows |
| While the Billiard-marker with quivering hand |
| Was chalking the tip of his nose |
| G | D |
| GIt's only a | Dgame, so |
| G7 | C |
| G7Put up a real good | Cfight, |
| G | Am | D7 |
| I'm gonna be | Gsnookering you to | Amnight | D7 |
| G | D7 |
| GI'm famed for my | D7aim, so |
| G7 | C |
| Y' | G7better believe I'm | Cright |
| G | Em |
| I'm gonna be | Gsnookering | Emyou |
| Am | D | G |
| AmSnookering | Dyou | Gtonight |
| G | G7 |
| Gazing across the | Gbaize at you, | G7 |
| Am |
| My | Ambreak of fifty-eight |
| D | D7 |
| DOr maybe more, who can be | D7sure? |
| G | D |
| GTo say it's a | Dframe-up |
| G7 | C |
| G7Wouldn't be fair or | Cright |
| G | Am | D7 |
| I'm gonna be | Gsnookering you to | Amnight | D7 |
| G | D7 |
| GResist me in | D7vain, but |
| G7 | C |
| G7Victory's in my | Csight |
| G | Em |
| I'm gonna be | Gsnookering | Emyou |
| Am | D | G |
| AmSnookering | Dyou | Gtonight |
| G | G7 |
| Snooker's the same so | Gjoin the queue | G7 |
| Am |
| And | Amthink about the pink |
| D | D7 |
| DDon't let a red go to your | D7head |
| G | D |
| GIt's only a | Dgame, so |
| G7 | C |
| G7Put up a real good | Cfight, |
| G | Em |
| I'm gonna be | Gsnookering | Emyou, |
| Am | D | G |
| AmSnookering | Dyou | Gtonight! |
| G | Em | Am | D | G |
| GSnookering | Emyou, | AmSnookering | Dyou | Gtonight! |
| G | Em | Am | D | G |
| GSnookering | Emyou, | AmSnookering | Dyou | Gtonight! |
