C         Em    Am             G
All stand back, let the people see 

C      Em          Am                 | G    C | G 
Take a snap of the famous groupies for me 
[Verse 1]
A      Dm
Be ... hold the famous groupies 

     Dm
They are alike as two peas 

    Dm                        E     A
And where the other goes, the other goes 

    Am
But though the famous groupies 

    Bm           Em
Are only paid in Rupees 

Am                                    D
Nobody knows what the famous groupies know 

    Am                                   | G    C | G
And nobody goes where the famous groupies go 
[Verse 2]
A         Dm
There ... was a bongo player

    Dm 
Who kept an extra layer 

   Dm                 E       A
Of Dunlopillo mattress in his van (‘In his van?’)

    Am
But when the famous groupies 

  Bm                     Em
Arrived with their twin snoopies 

Am                                D
Nobody saw which way the poor boy ran 

Am                                   D
Nobody does it like a famous groupie can 
[Chorus]
C         Em    Am             G
All stand back, let the people see 

C      Em          Am                 | G    C | G
Take a snap of the famous groupies for me 
[Verse 3]
A         Dm
There ... was a lead guitarist

    Dm
Who lived in Epping Forest

    Dm                 E     | A | % |
And all he ever wanted was to blow (’Lord knows why’)

    Am
But when the girls were with him 

   Bm             Em
He never lost his rhythm 

    Am                                    D
And nobody knows what the famous groupies know 

Am                             G
And nobody goes where the [?]
[Instrumental] | C Em | Am G | | C Em | Am G | G [Verse 4]
A         Dm
There ... was a classic story

     Dm
Of a roadie nicknamed Rory 

    Dm                      E      A
Who used to practice Voodoo on the side 

    Am
But when the famous twosome 

   Bm                Em
Suggested something gruesome 

Am                                         D
All that they found was a crater two miles wide 

      Am                                 D
Which left the music business absolutely horrified 
[Chorus]
C         Em    Am             G
All stand back, let the people see 

C      Em          Am 
Take a snap of the famous groupies, the famous groupies
[Outro]
     Am
(The famous groupies, the famous groupies)

Am
Ladies and gentlemen
(The famous groupies, the famous groupies)
Am
Those magnificent examples of female pulchritude and luminosity
(The famous groupies, the famous groupies)
Am
Direct from their global perambulations
(The famous groupies, the famous groupies)
Am
To the very boards of this supremely magnificent proscenium arch
(The famous groupies, the famous groupies)
Am
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you ...
(The famous groupies, the famous groupies) [Coda]
Am Am   Am  G
Fa-mous groupies!
