Great, stop it.
Where are you going?
Er, London.
Um, yes, well I'm going as far as Newport Park.
Well, [F] that's no good to you.
Is that on the way to London?
Yes, it is.
Right, thanks very much.
[G] OK, hop in.
Right.
Oh, hell, that's [N] not my snail ring.
Oh, sorry.
Oh, hello.
Alright?
Yeah.
Give it a good slam.
That's it.
OK?
Yeah.
Right.
Thanks very much.

[D]
[A] Shelty, you've been very kind to me.
[C#m] You've done me well and you've been good [G] company.
[E]
[A] But [D] I've been here a [A] week and I really don't [D] think I'll know.
[A] I [G] should be up there looking everywhere for a girl.
[A] [C#m] There's something [F#] in your eyes that begs me to stay.
[C#m] But I am going to look for her [G] today.
[E] [A] [D] She'll be done with you [A] in a second.
[D] No, [A] [G] you may be much older than [C#m] me, there are some things I know.
[A]
[C#m]
[A] But have you brought my shoes?
[C#m] Not a ride.
[F#m] [C#] This is silly, come on, give [G] me the light.
[E]
[A] I [D] feel sorry for [A] you, I can see that you're [D]
unhappy.
[A] So [G] will I be if you make [C#m] me sleep, please let me know.
Shelty, will [F#] you please unlock the door?
[C#] I'm going to try and get you picked up back on [G] the floor.
[E] [A] Look, [D] you're shaking all over [A] and you're making me shake [D] too.
[A] But I've told you [G] in a way, well I say to you, [A] come on, unlock the door.
[C#m]
[A] I don't understand what's come over you.
And I'm [G#] frightened, I don't know what [G] to [E] do.
[A] Now [D] you're touching me, [A] baby, everything's [D] alright.
[A] But I don't [G] think so and I want a [A] girl to let me out.
[C#m] What would your husband say if he saw you [E] now?
[A] What would he do to me, I don't want to [G] find out.
[E] [A] It's [D] all a joke to you, honey, [A] you don't care who you're [D] with.
[A] I'm out of my [G] way, I'm on my way, [C#m] goodbye Shelley.
Goodbye Shelley.
