This isn't taken from any video or official thing, I just played around with it and found it works for me.
It's essentially the same all the way through, you can play it more accurately in the chorus but I found it's
just a bit of a kerfuffle.


Intro:
Em Am Gm  x4


Verse 1:
                    Em                             Am
Arabella's got some interstellar gator skin boots
      Gm                        Em                                     Am   Gm
And a helter skelter round her little finger and I ride it endlessly
            Em                           Am
She's got a Barbarella silver swimsuit
             Gm                      Em
And when she needs to shelter from reality
                           Am    Gm    Em
She takes a dip in my daydreams


Chorus:
                      Am              Gm    Em
My days end best when the sunset gets itself behind
            Am           Gm         Em
That little lady sitting on the passenger side
               Am              Gm             Em
It's much less picturesque without her catching the light
            Am                         Gm               Em  (this line has no guitar in song so Am Gm optional)
The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes
    
Am   Gm            Em
        As Arabella, oh
Am   Gm
        As Arabella
Em                                Am            Gm
   Just might've tapped into your mind and soul
Em         Am     Gm
   You can't be sure


Em Am Gm   x2


Verse 2:
   Em                       Am
Arabella's got a 70s head
            Gm
But she's a modern lover
        Em                              Am     Gm
It's an exploration she's made of outer space
        Em                              Am
And her lips are like the galaxy's edge
        Gm                   Em                         Am      Gm     Em
And her kiss the colour of a constellation falling into place


Chorus:
                      Am              Gm    Em
My days end best when the sunset gets itself behind
            Am           Gm         Em
That little lady sitting on the passenger side
               Am              Gm             Em
It's much less picturesque without her catching the light
            Am                         Gm               Em
The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes
    
Am   Gm            Em
        As Arabella, oh
Am   Gm
        As Arabella
Em                                Am            Gm
   Just might've tapped into your mind and soul
Em         Am     Gm
   You can't be sure


Bridge:
Em                                   Am
  (That's magic) in a cheetah print coat
            Gm                Em
(Just a slip) underneath it I hope
                              Am
(Asking if) I can have one of those
        Gm                    Em
(Organic) cigarettes that she smokes
                                 Am
(Wraps her lips) round a Mexican Coke
               Gm                     Em
(Makes you wish) that you were the bottle
                      Am           Gm
(Takes a sip) of your soul, and it sounds like


Solo:
Em Am Gm  x2


Outro:
Em                                Am            Gm
   Just might've tapped into your mind and soul
Em         Am     Gm     Em
   You can't be sure
