Looks like a lot of chords, but when you get the hang of it, its dead easy!

B             Eb7
So who's that girl there?
  Emaj7
I wonder what went wrong
            B
So that she had to roam the streets
    Eb7
She don't do major credit cards
  Emaj7
I doubt she does receipts
             C#m              F# E Ebm C#m Ebm
It's all not quite legitimate
B          Eb7
And what a scummy man
     Emaj7
Just give him half a chance
            B
I bet he'll rob you if he can
    Eb7
Can see it in his eyes, yeah
          Emaj7
That he's got a driving ban
             C#m            F# E Ebm C#m Ebm
Amongst some other offences
Gm                       Ebm
  And I've seen him with girls of the night
    Gm                     Ebm
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
Gm                       Ebm
They're all infected but he'll be alright
             C#m      Ebm           E F#m
Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know
                                     Bm
I said he's a scumbag, don't you know!


*This is where the song kicks off properly, the following chords are played quickly 
the main riff kicks in:

G, F#, Bm

Main Riff:

D--------024-|
A------22----|
E33222-------|  *the bass riff is the same as the guitar riff. There is no
guitar in the verse until the second verse

(bass guitar only)
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

And oh he must be up to something
(guitar comes in, G, F#, Bm)
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

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


* main riff

G, F#, Bm
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

          (now the main riff kicks in)
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
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Em         F#m Bm
Around here

They said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here
   A       F#
Around here
B         Eb7
   What a scummy man
     Emaj7
Just give him half a chance
            B
I bet he'll rob you if he can
    Eb7                          Emaj7
Can see it in his eyes that he's got a nasty plan
              C#m      Ebm           E F#m
I hope you're not involved at all

B/D, Bb/D, B
