Thin Lizzy – Waiting For An Alibi (Ukulele)

C#m  E          G#m       B
Valentino got a booky shop

C#m         E        G#m       G#m   
And what he takes he gives for what he's got

C#m           E      G#m         B
And what he's got he says he has not

C#m   E          G#m G#m
Stole from anyone

C#m                    G#m
It's not that he don't tell the truth

C#m             F#m
Or even that he misspent his youth

C#m          G#m
It's just he holds the proof

A                        B
But you know something's wrong

E                     E                     G#m      A B
Waiting for an alibi (Waiting for an alibi)

E                     E                     G#m      A B
Waiting for an alibi (Waiting for an alibi)

C#m  E           G#m       B
Valentino's in a cold sweat

C#m            E             G#m       G#m   
Placed all his money on that last bet

C#m            E        G#m            B
Against all the odds he smokes another cigarette

C#m     E                G#m       G#m
Says it helps him to forget he's a nervous wreck

C#m              G#m
It's not that he misses much

C#m             F#m
Or even that he lost his lucky touch

C#m               G#m
It's just that he gambles so much

A                      B
And you know that it's wrong

E                     E
Waiting for an alibi (Waiting for an alibi)

G#m                            A B
Waiting just to catch your eye

E                     E
Waiting for an alibi (Waiting for an alibi)

G#m                   A B
Try to say I told you I told you

E                     E
Waiting for an alibi

G#m                            A B
Waiting just to catch your eye

E                     E                     G#m      A B
Waiting for an alibi (Waiting for an alibi)

C#m  E        G#m       B
Valentino got nowhere to go

C#m    E        G#m       G#m   
On his own like Romeo

C#m     E       G#m         B
Blow by blow he watches his money go 

C#m      E          G#m G#m
Now he's oh so low 

C#m              G#m
It's not that he misses her 

C#m             F#m
Or even that he can't resist her

C#m            G#m
It's just that kissing her 

A           B
He feels so strong

E                     E
Waiting for an alibi (Waiting for an alibi)

G#m                       A B
Waiting just to hold you

E                     E
Waiting for an alibi (Waiting for an alibi)

G#m                   A B
Try to say I told you

E                     E      G#m      A B
Waiting for an alibi

E                     E      G#m      A B
Waiting for an alibi       Oh my, my, my, my, my, my, etc
