The Beautiful South – Youre Only Jealous (Guitar)

   F               C          G                 Bb
Perhaps it was the holiday we spent abroad last year

   F                   C               G    Bb
It could have been the wine we drank last night

F            C              G              Bb
Possibly the palace needs a second coat of paint

        F                C          G   Bb
But that doesn't condone setting it alight

Dm           Bb             C
Why does the butler look so smug?

        Dm             Bb            C
And the gardener, well he looks even worse

     F N.C.
He's sent me every flower that he's dug

N.C.         Dm          C                 G     Bb
And have you ever seen a chauffeur drive a hearse

N.C.        F       C  G  Bb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah

            F       C  G  Bb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah

You're only jealous, Ah Ah

   F              C           G             Bb
Perhaps it is the quantity of acres that we own

   F                C           G    Bb
It could be their allotment's only small

F               C          G             Bb
Maybe we should reconsider giving them a wage

      F                 C                  G   Bb
But a taste of money is worse that none at all

Dm                  Bb           C
The parlourmaid's a deadly quiet lass

Dm           Bb              C
Never really comes out of her shell

    F N.C.
But every time I talk to her, she offers me a glass

N.C. Dm             C               G    Bb
Of a drink that she never drinks herself

N.C.        F       C  G  Bb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah

            F       C  G  Bb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah

            F       C  G  Bb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah

        F
Stir it up   x5

       F                      Dm              Bb
Of the company I keep and the stars you never meet

       F                             Dm              Bb
Of the caviar they eat whilst you're chewing at your wheat

       F                                   Dm              Bb
Of the hours that they sleep whilst you're sweating in the heat

       F                            Dm                   Bb
Of the masses at their feet and the tongue between their cheek

         F
Think of stronger than the weak

         Dm              Bb
Think of vulture and its beak

         F                              Dm             Bb
Think of oil, think of sheikh, think of lord and comfy seat

         F                           Dm            Bb
Think of admiral and fleet, think of public school elite

         F
Think of leaders and their sheep

         Dm                 Bb
Think of butchers and their meat

         F
Think of leaders and their sheep
