From: inigoes@rohan.sdsu.edu (icf) Subject: "Pulling Mussels" correction Here it is: the Squeeze classic, "Pulling Mussels From The Shell," written by Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford, from the 1980 album "Argybargy." Difford and Tilbrook often perform this song acoustic -- in fact, I started playing it after seeing them on an early "Unplugged" before it got trendy with big stars. Note: I use G# and climb back down to G on the chorus, but on TV they played a different chord which I couldn't figure out visually. Also, they skip the solo and go straight to the last verse...Enjoy! "Pulling Mussels From The Shell" by Squeeze (my previous post was incorrect)

^AmThey do it down on camber sands, They do it at Wa^Dmikiki^Am ^Dm ^CLazing about the ^Gbeach all day, All night the crickets ^Fcreepy^C ^F ^ESquinting faces at the ^Fsky, A ^CHarrold Robbins ^Dpaperback ^ESurfers drop their boards and ^Fdry, And ^Ceverybody wants a^D hat

^GBut be^Amhind the Chalet, My holiday's complete And I^Am feel like William Tell Maid ^DmMarion on ^Fher t^Giptoed ^G#feet^G Pulling mussels from the ^Cshell,^G Pulling mussels from the ^Fshell ^G

^AmShrinking in the sea so cold, Topless ladies look ^Dmaway ^Am ^Dm ^CA he-man in a ^Gsunken shower, Shelters from the ^Frain^C ^F ^EYou wish you had a motor ^Fboat, To ^Cpose around the ^Dharbor bar ^EAnd when the sun goes out to^F bed, You ^Chook it up beh^Dind the car

^GBut be^Amhind the Chalet, My holiday's complete And I^Am feel like William Tell Maid ^DmMarion on ^Fher t^Giptoed ^G#feet^G Pulling mussels from the ^Cshell,^G Pulling mussels from the ^Fshell ^G

^AmTwo fat ladies window shop, Something for the mantel^Dmpiece ^Am ^Dm ^CIn for bingo all the^G nines, A panda for sweet little^F niece^C ^F ^EThe coach drivers stand ^Fabout, ^CLooking at a ^Dlocal map ^EAbout the boy he's gone ^Faway, Do^Cwn to next door's ^Dcaravan

^GBut be^Amhind the Chalet, My holiday's complete And I^Am feel like William Tell Maid ^DmMarion on ^Fher t^Giptoed ^G#feet^G Pulling mussels from the ^Cshell,^G Pulling mussels from the ^Fshell (2X and end)
