No Milk Today

Am                C
No milk today, my love has gone away,
    E                   Am      E             Am
The bottle stands for - lorn, a symbol of the dawn,
Am                C
No milk today, it seems a common sight,
    E              Am        E               Am
But people passing by, don't know the reason why

A                           G
How could they know ...just what this message means?
    D                    D      E      A
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams,
A                        G
How could they know ...a palace there had been?
D                         D    E          A
Behind the door, where my love reigned as Queen

Am                        C
No milk to - day,      it wasn't always so,
            (No milk to - day----------!)
    E           Am        E               Am
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day,
Am                   C
As music played, the faster did we dance,
           (As music played--------------!)
   E               Am        E                 Am
We felt it both at once, the start of our ro - mance

A                           G
How could they know ...just what this message means?
    D                    D      E      A
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams,
A                        G
How could they know ...a palace there had been?
D                         D    E          A
Behind the door, where my love reigned as Queen

Am                        C
No milk to - day,      my love has gone away,
            (No milk to - day-------------!)

 A *                E/G#      D/F#            E/G#
     But all that's left is a place, dark and lonely,
(Ah--------------,  ah------, ah------------, ah-----!)
 A *            E/G#       Dmaj7
     A terraced house in a mean street, back of town,
(Ah----------,  ah------,  mean street, back of town!)
 A *            E/G#         D/F#         E/G#
     Becomes a shrine when I think of you only,
(Ah----------, ah---------,  ah---------, ah-----!)
  D                 E
 Just two-up, two - down!
(Just two-up, two - down!)

Am                        C
No milk to - day,      it wasn't always so,
