This is a great song, but the strumming in the Youtube video from the bathroom
sessions is played with feeling not strict timing. Enjoy! Be sure to watch the video for timings.
Other chords you will need.

Verse
He says excuse me, I hope you don't mind that
I followed you into this shop
but I couldn't help but notice oh my god that riding crop
Sticking out of your - Your haversack,
Well uh, I wouldn't mind riding you bareback.
Verse
He's subtle on the dancefloor and he's suave around the bar
He's a quickdraw with a lighter, he's a pseudo movie star.
You know he was quite a singer, quite an actor,
quite some time ago.
He had quite a famous program, late night bedtime tv show.
