Tuning: E A D G B E

This was originally tabbed by letdown00 (to my knowledge), and many thanks to them, but they got the chorus and solo wrong, so I've edited it to be more right. (I'd like to state that whilst not 100% right, this version is MORE right) Standard Tuning: EADGBe G/F# : (2x0033) [VERSE]

Billy Liar's got his ^Ghands in his ^G/F#pockets ^Em Staring over at his ^Aneighbor's, knickers ^Emdown. ^AHe's got his knickers ^Emdown. ^A ^D So the summer is ^Geternity ^G/F#for you? ^Em Sleeping in until your ^Afather's shaking you down^Em ^AHe's shaking you down.^Em ^A And the ^Gmailroom shift gets a real short shrift As you ^F#mdole out the packages, no-one seems to want you around^Em ^AAll skullking a^Emround.^A

[CHORUS]

^DLet your ^F#mlegs loll^Bm on the ^Glino ^D'Til your ^F#msinews spoil^Bm ^G ^DWill you ^F#mstay here^Bm for aw^Ghile, dear, ^D'Til the ^F#mradio^Bm, plays ^Emsomething familiar? Plays ^Asomething familiar. ^D

All a-drifting, he's the ^Gnogood ^G/F#boyo ^Em Sent a-fishing for a w^Ahalebone corset ^Emframe (The only ^Acatch all ^Emday) ^A ^D So he sits and lets the c^Gurrent ^G/F#take him ^Em A gentle breeze will leave his ^Apants in dis^Emarray ^AAnd at his ankles ^Emlaid. ^A As he ^Gdrifts to sleep with a moan and a weep He is ^F#mdecked by a Japanese geisha with a garland of ^Empearls ^AHow she twists and ^Emtwirls!^A
