Capo 1st fret
Odd Chords (Relative to capo)
Sorry, my chord theory is lacking so I don't know the names of them. The * will signify
different chord as opposed to the normal one.
Bm* - 224430
G* - 320013
A* - x02230
E* - 222000 (this is just used as a walking chord to the G in the chorus)
Intro
Just strum Bm* for 4 bars
Verse (To be sung with a very English accent...)
Bm*
In their eyes is the place that you finally discovered
That you lGove it here, you've got to stay
On the bEmottom of the rock, an island
Bm*
On which you find you love it when you twitch
G G* G
You feel that itch in you pettycoat
Your pretty preEmtty pettycoat
Bm*
Then you smiled, he got wild
You didn't understand that there's moGney to be made
Beauty is a card that mEmust get played
By orgAanisations
Chorus
Bm* G A Em Em*
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
G Bm* A Em Em*
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
G Bm* A Em Em*
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
G Bm* A Em
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
etc.
There is one repitition of the verse chords before the second verse lyrics start.
For the "pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty little petticoats"
thing just play the verse chords.

Hope that helps. I am almost 100% sure this is how it's played having seen a video of an
performance of it. The strumming rhythm is a bit weird as it changes from verse to
Just play along to the recording to get the feel for it. I apologise again for my lack
mucial theory knowledge.
