[Intro]
G G
[Verse 1]
G C/G Bella donna's on the high street G C/G Her breasts upon the off beat G C/G And the stalls are just the side shows G C/G Victoriana's old clothes G C/G And yes her jeans are tight now G C/G She got to travel light now G C/G She got to turn up all her roots now G C/G She got a turn up for the boots now
[Chorus]
G C/G She thinks she's tough G She ain't no English rose C/G But the blind singer G He's seen enough and he knows Fmaj7 C/G G Yes and he do a song about a long-gone Irish girl Fmaj7 C/G G Ah but I got one for you, Portobello Belle
[Verse 2]
G C/G She sees a man upon his back there G C/G Escaping from a sack there G C/G And Bella donna lingers G C/G Her gloves ain't got no fingers G C/G Yeah, the blind man sing in Irish G C/G He get his money in a tin dish G C/G Just a corner serenader G C/G Upon a time he could have made her, made her
[Chorus]
G C/G She thinks she's tough G She ain't no English rose C/G But the blind singer G He's seen enough and he knows Fmaj7 C/G G Yes and he do a song about a long-gone Irish girl Fmaj7 C/G G Ah but I got one for you, Portobello Belle
[Verse 3]
G C/G Yes and the barrow boys are hawking G C/G And the parakeet's squawking G C/G Upon a truck there is a rhino G C/G She get the crying of a wino G C/G And then she hear the reggae rumble G C/G Bella donna's in the jungle G C/G But she is no garden flower G C/G There is no distress in the tower
[Outro]
C/G Bella donna walks G Bella donna taking a stroll C/G G She don't care about your window box or your buttonhole Fmaj7 C/G G Yes and she sing a song about a long-gone Irish girl Fmaj7 C/G G Ah but I got one for you, Portobello Belle
