Belle and Sebastian

^{G D A}
(h = hammer-on, p = pull-off)
I ^D got my fingers dirty at the ^G school of rock
Yeah I ^D got my fingers dirty so I ^A took a walk
I ^D went up to the country park and ^F# hung around till ^Bm after dark
And the ^G girls got home
Till the ^D girls got home
Did I ^D tell you 'bout the one I know, she's ^G on the rag?
She ^D spent the summer day inside her ^A sleeping bag
Yeah she ^D spent the summer day inside ^F# until it's time to ^Bm go to work
And she ^D works all night
Cause the ^G girl's all right
MIDDLE FOUR : D E G D
The ^D girls have got a house that's like a ^G caravan
And it's ^D like your holiday whenever ^A you go round
We ^D always have a laugh and then we a ^F# ll get ^Bm in the bath
To save on the ^G leccy bill
Me and ^D Jo and Phil
CHORUS (play INTRO):
^Bm I had to leave them in the ^G morning
I left the keys around the ^D way
I had to go to ^A work
^Bm I had to leave them in the ^G morning
I left the keys down in the ^D caff
I had to catch a ^A bus
MIDDLE EIGHT : D E G D D E G D
^D And when Jo was short of cash I had to ^G give her some
But I ^D didn't really mind 'cause I was ^A fit for once
So we ^D paid the leccy bill, we got the ^F# shopping and we ^Bm still had
Some for the ^G cinema
So we all ^D went out
^D She asked me "Do I need to lose a ^G bit of weight?"
And I ^D said "Now don't be stupid 'cause you're ^A looking great"
Now we ^D call her String Bean Jean because the ^F# label on her ^Bm jeans says
Seven to ^G eight years old - well that's ^D pretty small
Seven to ^G eight years old - well that's ^D pretty small
Seven to ^G eight years old - well that's ^D pretty small
Seven to ^G eight years old.. ^A .
CHORUS (play INTRO)
INTRO (instrumental)
End on D/F# i.e. a D chord with thumb on E-string, 2nd fret.
