Lyrics
Pre>intro d bm g (three times) then g a B e Sit by my window and look outside A g#me Wonder why a sun don't shine on me Be What's wrong with you, you stupid child A g#m c# Don't you think that I'm the one you're waiting to see F# b Don't talk too much cause she falls for the soft touch D e Makes her feel everything is secure G a d Don't ever leave a footprint on the floor Chorus D bmg Don't bother with the local girls D bm g Don't bother with the local girls D bm g g a Don't bother with the local girls B e She's probably halfwit she must be straight A g#m e Bound to have a mother who knows nothing but hate Be Don't want to laugh I'd rather knock her down A g#mc# Standing at the bus stop where she waits each morning F#b So isolated that she thinks that the army D e Is the place where a man oughta be G a d Don't bother with them they don't bother me Repeat chorus (plus) D g Don't bother with the.... local girls A g a g They got the walk they got the talk right down without a flaw A g g a d At six oclock I got to stop my dreaming at the counter of the store Dbm g d bm g Don't bother with them D bmg g a B e Without a doubt I gotta intercept A g#m e Must be time someone went shouted in their ear B e You look all right in that cheap green dress A g#m c# But every time you swish it round you make me disappear F# b Yes I'm aware of exactly what I'm doing D e Making everything a mystery, Ga d Don't bother with it, it don't bother me Chorus (3 times) and fade Here's the story of this transcription: Someone (off list) emailed me for the lyrics so I wrote them out and At the same time I wrote down a couple of the chords. then john (jhayman@k12s.phast.umass.edu) saw it and made the necessary Additions and corrections. For a while we were playing emaj7 instead of e in the first line, (b) sit by my window and (emaj7) look outside, but the current Thought is that the e is correct. John wrote: "in hind sight and sound, emaj7 is wrong and e is right. Although he's singing a db, the rhythm guitar is clearly playing a Dave edmund's "monkey beat" e." (I play that e at fret 4 (476454)) /pre>
