No 8 in the UK charts in 1974. Slightly different lyrics as taken from
a performance on TOTP on youtube also I've added a Bm to round the outro off which
generally goes to fade before the last few chords.
Intro = Em
Verse 1
Em C
Mr Soft turn around and force the world
D Em
To watch the things you're going through
Em C
Mr Soft believe everything they tell you
D Em
And be damned if there’s a thank you
Am Em
You paint everything so cruel
Am Em
Coming on like Mr Cool
Am G
Paint your face and shut the gate
F# N/C
No-one's coming home till late ooh la ooh key ouch
Verse 2
Em C
Don’t you know life gets tedious enough
D Em
Without this extra grudge to bear
C
You so slow shift your ideas make your mind up
Em
In a jiffy let's be fair
Am Em
We'll be taking off tonight
Am Em
Turn off your eyes and shut the light
Am G
You’re the most you’re so unreal
F# N/C
We'd all be dead without your spiel get out the piano

Mr Soft go to town and bring the dawn in
D Em
In the morning on your way
C
Mr Soft put your feet upon the waters
D Em
And play Jesus for the day

And you begin to hear them mumble
Am Em
Spot the Starman rough and tumble

Fight the good fight sling your axe

Watch the speaker lead the packs ooh that guitar
