B                       Eb7
  So who's that girl there?
E/D#
  I wonder what went wrong
             Ebm
So that she had to roam the streets
      E/D#
She don't do major credit cards
    Ebm
I doubt she does receipts
                     C#m       C#m F# E Ebm C#m Ebm
It's all not quite legitimate

B                  Eb7
  And what a scummy man
     E/D#
Just give him half a chance
             Ebm
I bet he'll rob you if he can
   E/D#
Can see it in his eyes, yeah
         Ebm
That he's got a driving ban
                  C#m         C#m F# E Ebm C#m Ebm
Amongst some other offences

Abm                      Ebm
  And I've seen him with girls of the night
   Abm                     Ebm
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
Abm                        Ebm
  They're all infected but he'll be alright
           C#m        Ebm            E  F#  (start strumming on this line)
Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know
                               Bm
I said he's a scumbag, don't you know!

G F#(v2)Bm- repeat a few times  (only really play bottom 2 strings)

G F#(v2) Bm

   (bass)
Although you're trying not to listen
I bet your eyes are staring at the ground
She makes a subtle proposition
Sorry love I'll have to turn you down

G F# Bm (palm muted through verse)
And oh he must be up to something
Want half a chance to show he's more than likely
I've got a feeling in my stomach
I start to wonder what his story might be
What his story might be

 Em           F#m               Bm
They said it changes when the sun goes down
 Em           F#m               Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
 Em           F#m               Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
  Em           F#m               Bm
Around here
 A        F#m
Around

riff (guitar 1)
G F#(v2) Bm (guitar 2)
And look here comes a Ford Mondeo
Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous
And he don't have to say 'owt
She understands she's here to get picked up
And she's delighted when she sees him
Pulling in and giving her the eye
Because she must be fucking freezing
Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky
She don't stop in the winter, no and...

 Em           F#m               Bm
They said it changes when the sun goes down
  Em           F#m               Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
 Em           F#m               Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
 Em           F#m               Bm
Around here
 Em           F#m               Bm
They said it changes when the sun goes down
 Em           F#m               Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
  Em           F#m               Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
 Em           F#m               Bm
Around here
A       F#m
Around here


B               Eb7
What a scummy man
E/D#
Just give him half a chance
           Ebm
I bet he'll rob you if he can
   E/D#                                 Ebm
Can see it in his eyes that he's got a nasty plan
              C#m        Ebm            E  F#
I hope you're not involved at all
