Piano Intro: d - e - f#
G               D         Am      G      D/F#  D     Dsus4-D
Everybody's afraid of the big guy called the gorilla
G                          D         Am           G  D/F#
Wish you could be here today now I'm lying in the gutter
D                          C      G         D
Though the cop car surrounds me I feel afraid
         Dsus4 D   C              G/D       D     Dsus4-D
Now I'm lying here staring at the pearly gates
D                C/G      G         D
Tony, Tony you gave me security
           Am(7)                D
You were a minder extraordinaire
      C6                D               G - Am-G/B - D
And I miss you now that you're not there

G                      D
Terrified and in a fret
       Am          G    D/F#   D     Dsus4-D
Like a child who's lost his mother
G              Am    G/B  D
Shivering in a cold, cold sweat
        Am          G  D/F#  D
With my face in the gutter
D                   C      G         D - G/D-D
Bobby, Bobby you gave me security
                      C       G       D
And Tony, Tony you did the same for me
           Am         G    D
Now you're both sadly demised
  C                 D               G - Am-G/B - D - Am - D
I can't believe I'm still alive
G                     G9sus4-G  G9sus4-G
Bobby came out of Chica------go
             C/G    G       D - Dsus4 - D
To give me a helping hand
                      C        G
He sat me down when I acted so sloppy
                        C/G     G       D
And he did the same for my-whole band
G                      G9sus4-G  G9sus4-G
Tony came out of South London
         C/G  G       D
He was a cockney boy
                         C  G
He saved my ass back in '82
                    C/G G      D
When I acted such a silly boy

D
Come on man, don't be a fool
D
Come on man, you're gonna crawl
D                    D      D - Em - D/F#
One day you're gonna fall

G               D         Am      G      D/F#  D     Dsus4-D
Everybody's afraid of the big guy called the gorilla
                    C               G
But he was never heavy, out of hand
        G/D              C  G     D
In fact he was as gentle as a lamb
D                C/G      G         (D - G/D-D)x2
Tony, Tony you gave me security
                          C       G      D
You know Tony, Tony you gave me security
Am                   D
Minder extraordinaire
  C6                D              G - Am-G/B - D
I miss you now that you're not there
       C6                D              G - Am-G/B - D - Em/D-D

As long as the big guy's there
