[Intro] G Em Am D (x5) Em D [Verse 1]
G         Em       Am        D
Oh, Philomena, are you in a tawdry-gown 

G            Em      Am          D
Lean to your window, let's slip a ribbon down 

 G             Em           Am         D
A cure to your boredom, if only you'd let me go 

Em         D
Down, down down 

G          Em        Am     D
Long sunny days can lead to lazy vices 

G           Em    Am            D
Boys all at idle, left to their own devices 

G            Em    Am      D
Open up your linen lap and let me go 

Em         D
Down, down down 
[Chorus]
B                        Em                Am                  D
All I ever wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl 

B                         Em              C            D
But, I found I   quickly bored, I wanted more, I wanted more 
[Verse 2]
   G            Em          Am          D
So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette 

G            Em       Am      D             G
I'll be your lashing-loop of leatherette and ah, 

     Em    Am           D
Philomena, if only you'll let me go 

Em         D
Down, down down 
[Outro] G Em Am D (x3) Em D [Chorus]
B                        Em                Am                  D
All I ever wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl 

B                        Em              C             D
But I found I've quickly bored, I wanted more, oh so much more 
[Verse 2]
 G            Em          Am          D
So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette 

G            Em       Am      D             G
I'll be your lashing-loop of leatherette and ah, 

     Em    Am           D
Philomena, if only you'll let me go 

Em         D
Down, down down 

   Em         D
Go down, down down

   Em   D
Go down

   G
Go down
