   Chords:
 {t: GF - Little Stick of Blackpool Rock }  
{key:Am }  
{artist:George Formby}  
{c: } 
[C] Every year when [G7] summer comes round, off to the sea I [C] go.   
[E7] I don't care if I [Am] do spend a pound, 
[D7] I'm rather rash I [G7] know.   
[C7] See me dressed like [F] all the sports, 
[D7] in my blazer and a [G7] pair of shorts.   
{c: } 
With my [C] little stick of Blackpool Rock, 
[G] along the promenade I  [D7] stroll.   
[G7]It [C] may be [Cdim] sticky but I [G7] never complain,   
it's [D7] nice to have a nibble at it [G7] now and again   
[C7] Every day [F] wherever I stray the [D7]  kids all round me [G7] flock.   
{c: } 
[C7] One afternoon the band conductor [F] up on his stand   
Some [D7] how he lost his baton - it flew [G7] out of his hand   
So I [C7] jumped in his place and then con-[E7]ducted the [Am] band   
With my [D7] little stick of [G7] Blackpool [C] Rock   
{c: } 
With my [C] little stick of Blackpool Rock, 
[G] along the promenade I [Dm] stroll   
[G7] In [C] my po-[Cdim]cket it got [G7] stuck I could tell   
'Cos [D7] when I pulled it out I pulled my [G7] shirt  off as well   
[C7] Every day [F] wherever I stray the [D7]  kids all round me [G7] flock.   
{c: See alternative verse at end } 
[C7] A girl while bathing clung to me, my [F] wits I’d to use   
She cried, "I'm [D7] drowning, and to save me, [G7] you won't refuse"   
I said, "[C7] Well if you're drowning then I [E7] don't want to [Am]  lose   
My [D7]  little stick of [G7] Blackpool [C] Rock”   
{c: } 
With my [C] little stick of Blackpool Rock, [G] along the promenade I [Dm] stroll   
[G7] In  [C] the ball [Cdim] room I went [G7] dancing each night   
No [D7] wonder every girl that danced with me, [G7] stuck to me tight   
[C7] Every day [F] wherever I stray the [D7]  kids all round me [G7] flock.   
{c: } 
[C7] A fellow took my photograph it [F] cost one and three.   
I said when it was [D7] done, "Is that su-[G7]pposed to be me?"   
"You've [C7] properly mucked it up the  only [E7] thing I can [Am] see is   
My [D7] little stick of [G7] Blackpool [C] Rock - 
[Cdim] Lordy Lordy,  - 
My [D7] little stick of  [G7] Blackpool [C] Rock”
{c: original GF verse supplied by Stephen Jackson}
[C7] A girl while bathing clung to me, I [F] shouted out, "Oh!" 
She cried,"I think I'm [D7] drowning, and you'll [G7] save me I know "
I said, "[C7] Well if you're drowning would [E7] you mind letting [Am] go 
Of my [D7]  little stick of [G7] Blackpool [C] Rock"
