Dignity - Deacon Blue

[G]There`s a man I meet wal[C]ks up our street
He`s a [Em]worker for the council, has been [D]twenty years
And he [G]takes no lip off nobody and [C]litter off the gutter
[Em]Puts it in a bag and n[D]ever thinks to mutter
And he p[G]acks his lunch in a Sunblest bag
The ch[C]ildren call him Bogie
He [Em]never lets on, but I [D]know `cause he once told me
[G]He let me know a secret about the [C]money in his kitty
He`s [G] gonna buy a dinghy gonna [C]call her [D]Dignit[G]y

And I`ll [C]sail her up the west coast
Through [D] villages and towns
[Bm]I`ll be on my holidays
T[Em]hey`ll be doing their rounds
They`ll [C]ask me how I got her I`ll say
[D]I saved my money
They`ll say [Bm]isn`t she pretty
That s[C]hip called [D]Dignit[G]y

And I`m telling this story
In a faraway scene
Sipping down Raki
And reading Maynard Keynes
And I`m thinking about home
And all that means
And a place in the winter
For Dignity

And I`ll sail her up the west coast
Through villages and towns
I`ll be on my holidays
They`ll be doing their rounds
They`ll ask me how I got her I`ll say
I saved my money
They`ll say isn`t she pretty
That ship called Dignity

[G]Set it up set it up set it up set it [C]set it up again
Yeah [G]set it up again set it up again set it up a[D]gain
[G]Set it up set it up set it up set it [C]set it up again
Yeah [G]set it up again set it up again set it up a[D]gain

And I`m thinking about home
And I`m thinking about faith
And I`m thinking about work
And I`m thinking
How good it would be
To be here some day
On a ship called Dignity
A ship called Dignity
That ship
