VERSES- F#m for first 2 lines in a verse, Bm for last 2 repeat each verse

I tell you a story but you won't listen,
Its about a nightmere steeped in tradition,
Its a story of a coked up pansy,                 MAIN RIFF on bass
Who spends his nights at a flight of fancy

Met two fellas over gin and mixers,
They talked for a while and soon got the picture,
One was a suped up soho mincer,
The other was a pikey with a knowledge of scripture,

Am                           Fm
Then the conversation turned evil (evil)
Am                                 Fm
Talked and talked and talked about people
What did you do to so many people?

MAIN RIFF

Play verse again - this time only one verse.

PRE-CHORUS

Bm                 G(10) F#(9)   Bm           G F#
   You turned your back upon her one too many times
Bm               G F#              Bm           G F#
   Spent all her hard earned money just getting high
   She sang

CHORUS (I did this in time with the lyrics)

|B ------------------------------------|
|G ------------------------------------|
|D --------------0---2-----------------|
|A 0h2-2-2--4----------4---------------|
|E ------------------------------------|
     Is she more beautiful x3

Then when Kate says than me do the |A --0h2--|
In some of the choruses Pat plays-
   E   E    C     B
Is she more beautiful
instead of the above riff. Work out which ones by listening to it.
