    The Night That Minnie Timperly Died

  • Artist:

    Pulp

INTRO: A / G
A         G          D
There's a light that shines
   G
On everything and everyone
A      G         D
And it shines so bright
G
Brighter even than the sun

A
That's what Minnie thinks
       G
As she walks to meet her brother
       D
Who is nearly two years older
     G
On a Saturday night

     A
He's DJing at some do
       G
On the edge of town
       D                 G
On the night that Minnie Timperley died

CHORUS
A           G
It's such a beautiful world
D                 G
And you're such a beautiful girl
A            G
So much that you wanna try
D
The world wants to [G]sleep with you tonight
    A
But Minnie
G            D
Minnie, if I could
        G                       A / G etc
I would give you the rest of my life

How can a girl have sex
With these pathetic teenage wrecks?
Ah, football scarves
The girls drink halves
And her brothers crying
Cos he has lost his decks

Outside the air was cool
An older guy sitting in his car
Asked if Minnie needed a ride
He thought he was still dangerous
Paunchy but dangerous
On the night that Minnie Timperley died

CHORUS

A / G x 8

Oh Minnie I can feel the pain
Oh Minnie I can feel the pain
Oh Minnie I can feel the pain
The pain, the pain, the pain, pain, pain yeah

Repeat, ad libbing vox.
