Alsatian Cousin

by Morrissey, from the album - Viva Hate


Em  C  D (x2)

Em                      C    
Were you and he Lovers ?
C                          D                  C
And would you say so if you were ?
 C             Em
On a forecourt
           C
On a Friday
 C            
Passing my way
D        C
Oh...

Em  C  D (x2)

Em                      C    
Were you and he Lovers ?
C                D                                   C
And if you were, then say that you were!
 C             Em
On a groundsheet
           C
Under canvas
           C
With your tent-flap
D          C
open wide

Em  C  D (x2)


Em                      C    
A note upon his desk
C                D                                   C
"P.S. Bring Me Home And Have Me!"
C             Em                        C
Leather elbows on a tweed coat
C
-Oh!-
    D                                   C
Is THAT the best you can do ?
Em                    C
So came his reply :
C                 D                            C
"But on the desk is where I want you!"

C     Em                            C      
So I ask (even though I know, oh): 
 

D
Were you and he lovers?

Em  C  D (x2)

Lots of buzzing effect on the album version and lots of arpeggio on the live, rockabilly, version.
Check out the live version as a b-side to We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful.
Enjoy.

Go Team Morrissey!
