[Verse 1]

C
What ever happened?
          Am
It was 1983

I watched the foot fall
                            F
It fell from the top of the screen

What ever happened?
                              G
Well they told us that you’d gone

What ever happened?
                    C       Cadd9 C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
Oh where is Matthew Smith?


[Verse 1]

C
Each room was a nightmare
                      Am
With a pixel perfect twist

TRS 80
                          F
Crashed at the flick of a switch

Where was the tax man?
                             G
Well they told us that you’d gone

What ever happened?
                    C      Cadd9 C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
Oh where is Matthew Smith?


[Middle]

F
I was history
          C   G
10 years ago
F
Now I’m a legend
           C    G
But nobody knows
                     C     Cadd9 C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
Oh where is Matthew Smith?
