Capo 3

Intro: D A G D C G Em A

	 D		A			G		D
There is misery in all I hear and see, from the people on T.V.

	    C		    G                      Em           A
After their tea when life begins again, they'll be happier than me

            D                           A
There are a thousand meals being made on Saturday

         G              D             C            G
From the view I saw today, I took a bet inside the launderette,

       Em             A
With a girl from Wallesey

             D                   A                    G
She spoke in dialect, I could not understand, but one thing that

         D                   C            G                 D

Conclusion:

             C            G      	     G
There was no coming on to her, there was no intellect, that she

Em		     D		            C      		Em
Could respect, if it couldn't see, that the girl just wants to be

       G		 D
Left alone with Marx and Engels for awhile,

      C                     Em           A
She's writing in style, of any riot girl.


What a ballad; Aquinas says 'pulcra sunt quae visa placent'
...perhaps if Belle and Sebastian were around in his day,
he would have changed eyes to ears.
