[Intro] F C F C [Verse 1]
        Bb
I could see that the sun it was deadly

      Eb/Bb
She's putting her hand in the fire

    F7/A
Her velvety skin it was cooking

Cm                       Cm/Bb                 F7/A
Lily white (Lily white), lily white turning to raspberry

             Bb
But when she slips in between the sheets tonight

    Eb/Bb
The memory will linger and burn

             F7/A
And when she look at the face in the mirror

       Cm
What a terrible sight

Cm/Bb                 F7/A
Lily white turning to raspberry

 F7sus4        F7  F7sus4 F7  F7sus4 F7
(When it burns you rub on the lo-    tion

Gm Gmadd9       Gm  Gmadd9 Gm  Gmadd9 Gm    F  Eb
   If it stings you sit in the o-     cean, oh no)
[Chorus]
    Dm
Les nouveaux riches, when they

Bb                       F
   Très fatigué they fly, off to the sunshine

     Gm       A
They set jet away, they don't

Dm                   Bb
   Get a kick, they don't get a buzz man

    F                      Gm        A
They talk in circles, they not for us oh

        Bb
I could see that the guys were a hassle

    Eb/Bb
She tried to handle them cool

        F7/A
But her interbreeding was showing

Cm                     Cm/Bb
Tumbling out on the banks of the old

           F7/A
Swimming pool (Oh, oh oh oh)

       Bb
So she buried her fears in a bottle

    Eb/Bb
The juices beginning to flow

        F7/A
And her stiff upper lip it was trembling

Cm                   Cm/Bb                    F7/A
Tripping her up, her words were beginning to roll

 F7sus4           F7  F7sus4     F7  F7sus4 F7
(Hush your mouth, you can't fool the na-    tives

Gm Gmadd9     Gm     Gmadd9   Gm Gmadd9 Gm  F  Eb
   Telegraph, they's going to re-lay    it, oh no)

    Bb
I remember the tears in her eyes

    Eb/Bb
She tried to hide them away

        F7/A
But her time it was going too quickly

       Cm                     Cm/Bb             F7/A
Just another few days, she'll soon be flying away

        Bb
But her memory will stay here forever

  Eb/Bb
A time she will never forget

        F/A
All the sun and the sand and the water

       Cm                   Cm/Bb              F7/A
Such a beautiful place, she never got her feet wet

 F7sus4  F7  F7sus4  F7 F7sus4 F7
(No way, she keeping a  cool   head

Gm     Gmadd9    Gm   Gmadd9 Gm  Gmadd9 Gm   F  Eb
   She get a tan from under  the sun    bed, oh no)
