A5 G5 F5 E5 D5
They do it down on camber sands, They do it at Waikiki
G5 F5
Lazing about the beach all day, All night the crickets creepy
E5 F5 C5 F#5
Squinting faces at the sky, A Harrold Robbins paperback
E5 F5 C5 F#5
Surfers drop their boards and dry, And everybody wants a hat
G#A5 G5 F5 G5 A5 G5 F5
But behind the Chalet, My holiday's complete
G5 A5 G5 F5 E5
And I feel like William Tell
D5 C5 Bflat A5 Ab5 G5
Maid Marion on her tiptoed feet
C5 G5
Pulling mussels from the shell,
F5 Ab5
Pulling mussels from the shell
A5 G5 F5 E5 D5
Shrinking in the sea so cold, Topless ladies look away
G5 F5
A he-man in a sunken shower, Shelters from the rain
E5 F5 C5 F#5
You wish you had a motor boat, To pose around the harbor bar
E5 F5 C5 F#5
And when the sun goes out to bed, You hook it up behind the car
G#A5 G5 F5 G5 A5 G5 F5
But behind the Chalet, My holiday's complete
G5 A5 G5 F5 E5
And I feel like William Tell
D5 C5 Bflat A5 Ab5 G5
Maid Marion on her tiptoed feet
C5 G5
Pulling mussels from the shell,
F5 Ab5
Pulling mussels from the shell
A5 G5 F5 E5 D5
Two fat ladies window shop, Something for the mantelpiece
G5 F5
In for bingo all the nines, A panda for sweet little niece
E5 F5 C5 F#5
The coach drivers stand about, Looking at a local map
E5 F5 C5 F#5
About the boy he's gone away, Down to next door's caravan
G#A5 G5 F5 G5 A5 G5 F5
But behind the Chalet, My holiday's complete
G5 A5 G5 F5 E5
And I feel like William Tell
D5 C5 Bflat A5 Ab5 G5
Maid Marion on her tiptoed feet
C5 G5
Pulling mussels from the shell,
F5 Ab5
Pulling mussels from the shell

I saw this in the archive and it was so confusing I was motivated to
help it out, I think the words are correct, but more important, I
believe the chords are in the right place.
This is a cool song, so enjoy. Mike Makarov

Subject: "Pulling Mussels" correction
Here it is: the Squeeze classic, "Pulling Mussels From The Shell,"
written by Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford, from the 1980 album
"Argybargy."
Difford and Tilbrook often perform this song acoustic -- in fact, I
started
playing it after seeing them on an early "Unplugged" before it got
trendy
with big stars. Note: I use G# and climb back down to G on the chorus,
but
on TV they played a different chord which I couldn't figure out
visually.
Also, they skip the solo and go straight to the last verse...Enjoy!
