[Intro]
B G | E | B G | E |
[Verse 1]
C Gb
I wrote her name on a bar mat, She had a peculiar bonnet
Eb F
But a youngish damsel figure, With her tongue tied to a trigger
C Gb
She seemed a total killer, Her face all filled with filler
Eb F
Her face a painting palette, I stomached all her habits
C Bb
Sipped her snowballs poshly like a judge
Eb F C
Left her lipstick traces on her mug
Ab F | Db B | G E |
[Verse 2]
C Gb
We watched each other closely, She looks like Bela Lugosi
Eb F
She asked me for a ride home, I felt around for my comb
C Gb
And in the barroom mirror, I combed right through her figure
Eb F
She wiggled through the car park, Into the pit of my heart
C Bb Eb C
Sat herself beside me in my van, A ring on every finger of her hand
Ab F | Db B | G E |
[Verse 3]
C Gb
She lived down by the river, A flat the council give her
Eb F
Wallpaper very scenic, Her outlook very beatnik
C Gb
We watched the close and weather, Then through the door he entered
Eb F
Short sleeves and arms of iron, And me with just my tie on
C Bb Eb F C
She said the lodger's used to this by now, I'd handled all the bull but not the cow
Ab F | Db B | G E |
[Verse 4]
C Gb
Behind her velvet sofa, I found myself back sober
Eb F
She kept an old acoustic, She never ever used it
C Gb
A gift for me with a capo, A six string with an f-hole
Eb F
We made the strangest couple, A Laurel and Hardy double
C Bb
I learnt to play her favourite country songs
Eb F
With one or two chords always going wrong
