For keyboard, bass players and other instruments set the
transpose function to [+1] to view the chords in Bb.
Use the menu button to select sharps or flats.

CAPO: 1st fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of Bb)

PLEASE NOTE: Bear in mind chord names and fret positions are
all indicated as relative to the CAPO position:

A couple of suggested bass note choices instead of
the high guitar riff in the main tab:

  [Actual bass riff]           [Simplified bass riff]
e |-------------------|       e |---------------|
B |-------------------|       B |---------------|
G |-------------------|       G |---------------|
D |-------------------|       D |---------------|
A |--/4--2-------0----|       A |--/4--2--0--2--|
E |---------0-h2---2--|       E |---------------|

NOTE: Please IGNORE ANY POP-UP CHORD BOXES the website might
automatically suggest and use the typed shapes shown below:
C#m7   = x46600 or x46454     G       = 320033 or 355433
D5     = x577xx               E/A     = x02100
E9sus4 = 077777               F#m     = 244222
A      = x02220 or 577655     
E      = 022100               F#9sus4 = x99999
D      = xx0232 or x57775

If you happen to hit all the strings of the D5 shape
it still sounds good even as a D6sus2 (x57700)
or you could just play a straight D.

N.C. = No chords    ^ = Emphasise the beat
/    = Slide up     h = Hammer-on note

[Verse 1]
A          E         G                  D
    Pretty women out walking with gor - illas,
     A            E   G   D
Down my street,
A           E          G
   From the window I'm staring,
         D             A    E   G   D
While my coffee grows cold,
A            E                 G
   Look over there! (Where?)  There!
          D           A       E     G    D
There's a lady that I used to know,
A                E            G
   She's married now, or en - gaged or something,
D      A    E   G   D
So I'm told!

[Chorus]
D                      E/A  A

              D    N.C.
'Cause, if my eyes don't deceive me,
         E         N.C.              A    E   G   D
There's something going wrong around here!

       G             D            A         E   G   D
When I go to all the parties down my street,
A             E
    I wash my hair,
      G            D          A     E    G    D
And I kid myself I look real smooth,
A            E               G
   Look over there! (Where?) There!
           D                A         E       G   D
Here comes Jeannie with her new boy - friend,
A                 E                     G
    They say that looks don't count for much,
             D         A     E   G   D
If so, there goes your proof!

Around here!

[Bridge]
C#m7                      D5
      But, if looks could kill,
          E9sus4          F#9sus4        C#m7
There's a man there who's marked down as dead,
                   D5
'Cause I've had my fill,
        E9sus4           F#9sus4        C#m7
'Listen you,   take your hands from her head!',
         D5               E9sus4
I get so mean around this scene,
