Lily Allen – Alfie (Guitar)

A    E
Oooooh, deary me

                           A
My little brother's in his bedroom smoking weed.

                                        E
I tell him he should get up 'cause it's nearly half past three

                                 A
He can't be bothered 'cause he's high on TCH.

                              E
I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea

                                A
I can't even see him 'cause his room is so smokey.

                             E
Don't understand how one can watch so much TV,

                            A
My baby brother Alfie how I wish that you could see.

D              A
I only say it 'cause I care,

   E                   A
So please can you stop pulling my hair?

D                   A
Now, now there's no need to swear,

       E                 A
Please don't despair, my dear mon frere.

A                   E
Oooooh Alfie get up it's a brand new day

                                    A
I just can't sit back and watch you waste your life away.

                                  E
You need to get a job because the bills need to get paid

                         A
Get off your lazy ass, Alfie please use your brain.

                                         E
Surely there's some walls out there that you can go and spray

                         A
I'm feeling guiltier for leading you astray.

                               E
Now how the hell do you ever expect that you'll get laid,

                                   A
When all you do is stay in playing your computer games?

D              A
I only say it 'cause I care,

   E                   A
So please can you stop pulling my hair?

D                   A
Now, now there's no need to swear,

       E                 A
Please don't despair, my dear mon frere.

A                           E
Oh little brother, please refrain from doing that.

                                      A
I'm trying to help you out so can you stop being a twat.

                                      E
It's time that you and I sit down and have a little chat,

                                       A
And look me in the eyes, take off that stupid fitted cap.

D              A
I only say it 'cause I care,

   E                   A
So please can you stop pulling my hair?

D                   A
Now, now there's no need to swear,

       E            
Please don't despair,

       E
Please don't despair

       A
My mon frere.
