I met her on a blind date, I went out with an old mate, waiting at the corner, she'd
be dressed in black, [D] there was not expecting a really creepy flirt, [A] he said she was a good
kid, might share the downage [E] word, when I saw her there she [D] was a real disgrace, I thought
[B] nice legs, shame about her [D] face.
[A]
[E] [D] [A] [E]
[A] Had to take a denture and I couldn't let her down, told me to call the bus, the other side
of [D] town, out upon the dance floor I wasn't getting [A] far, so I had a drink with my friends
up at the [E] bar, I asked them what they [D] thought of her, they fell about the [A] place and they
[B] said, nice legs, shame about her face.
[E] [B]
[F#] [E] [B] [F#]
[B] She said she was beautiful and, looked up to be fine, [E] but when I saw the ticket, [B] she'd
already changed her mind, [F#] she was turning [E] out to be a real hot [B] case, [G] nice legs, [E] shame about
the bar of rice.
[B]
[F#] [E] [B] [F#]
[B] Down to genital, to have me on the shoulder, was putting my ear, skin colour [E] leaves, when
I took her home, we hardly said [B] a thing, I walked her to the door, just when she threw
[F#] her ear, she looked me up and down and nearly [E] put me in love rage, she said, nice legs,
shame about your face, nice legs, shame about [B] your face.

[D] [A] Walked home late from a party last [D] night, I was a good inch, she left my bags outside,
she opened the [G] window, started to scream, she said, get back here, where you [D] been?
[C]
[D] [C] [A] She said, I paid for a train on platform [D] 3, it's real neat, thought he walked up to me,
said, alright, [G] I'm down on the railway [A] line, if you want a ride with me, then that [D] will
be just fine, [B] she wasn't in the city today, she don't feel pretty, she wasn't in the city
today, I [G#] want a ride with you.

I missed the train, because I'm about to be on 30, she asked my name, thought he took
me real dirty, said, if you're looking for something, I'm a good [A] schoolmaster, I can
guarantee you [D] satisfaction, [B] she wasn't in the city today, [A] she don't feel pretty, [B] she
wasn't in the city today, [F] she said, I want a ride with you [D] big boy.
