Chords

(Difford/Tilbrook) From the 1981 studio album, East Side Story. I've transcribed the chords from this live version: [Intro] B G | E | B G | E | [Verse 1]
C                              Gb
I wrote her name on a bar mat, She had a peculiar bonnet

Eb                            F
But a youngish damsel figure, With her tongue tied to a trigger

C                          Gb
She seemed a total killer, Her face all filled with filler

Eb                           F
Her face a painting palette, I stomached all her habits

C                           Bb
Sipped her snowballs poshly like a judge

Eb                              F C
Left her lipstick traces on her mug
Ab F | Db B | G E | [Verse 2]
C                              Gb
We watched each other closely, She looks like Bela Lugosi

Eb                            F
She asked me for a ride home, I felt around for my comb

C                          Gb
And in the barroom mirror, I combed right through her figure

Eb                                F
She wiggled through the car park, Into the pit of my heart

C                     Bb         Eb                            C
Sat herself beside me in my van, A ring on every finger of her hand
Ab F | Db B | G E | [Verse 3]
C                            Gb
She lived down by the river, A flat the council give her

Eb                     F
Wallpaper very scenic, Her outlook very beatnik

C                                 Gb
We watched the close and weather, Then through the door he entered

Eb                              F
Short sleeves and arms of iron, And me with just my tie on

C                             Bb           Eb                                   F C
She said the lodger's used to this by now, I'd handled all the bull but not the cow
Ab F | Db B | G E | [Verse 4]
C                       Gb
Behind her velvet sofa, I found myself back sober

Eb                        F
She kept an old acoustic, She never ever used it

C                          Gb
A gift for me with a capo, A six string with an f-hole

Eb                            F
We made the strangest couple, A Laurel and Hardy double

C                              Bb
I learnt to play her favourite country songs

Eb                                  F
With one or two chords always going wrong
