Shes probably halfwit she must be straight
A				  g#m	   e
Bound to have a mother who knows nothing but hate
B				e
Dont want to laugh Id rather knock her down
A				   g#m	c#
Standing at the bus stop where she waits each morning

At six oclock I got to stop my dreaming at the counter of the store

Dont bother with them

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 Im aware of exactly what Im doing
D			 e
Making everything a mystery,
G			a	    d
Dont bother with it, it dont bother me

Chorus

(3 times) and fade

Heres 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 hes singing a db, the rhythm guitar is clearly playing a
Dave edmunds monkey beat e. (I play that e at fret 4 (476454))
