The original version is in drop-D tuning, but it can be played with standard tuning as well.

No capo.



(Verse 1)
D5          A5        B5
On top for forever 
           F#5      G5
A fantasy? Oh no, never 
             D5                A5
Wait til you hear the chorus girl 

(Verse 2)
D5                A5        B5
A snowdrop with sunstroke 
               F#5           G5
A love song to make you choke 
             D5                A5
Wait til you hear the chorus girl 

(Chorus 1)
G5                      D5
There'll be no waiting limos, no-oh 
G5              D5
No cocaine and discos, no-oh 
G5               D5                 A5 
I gave that all up for the chorus girl 

(Verse 3)
D5               A5       B5
Look out of the window 
               F#5         G5
The people move down below 
               D5                    A5
Each one is in love with the chorus girl 

(Verse 4)
D5                A5        B5
You've tried to ignore her 
               F#5         G5
Derided those who adore her 
                     D5                   A5
But soon you'll come round to the chorus girl 


(Chorus 2)
G5                D5
The poor become wealthy, oh-oh 
G5                D5
The sick become healthy, oh-oh 
G5               D5             A5
But don't crucify the chorus girl 

(Bridge)
D5         A5       B5
At night all alone 
         F#5      G5
With my microphone 
              D5                   A5
I never come close to the chorus girl 

(Chorus 3)
G5                D5
I'm waiting for you now, oh-oh 
G5                  D5
There's nothing to do now, oh-oh 
G5                  D5                A5
But save your breath for the chorus girl 


(Chorus 4)
G5                D5
I'm waiting for you now (oh-oh) 
G5                  D5
There's nothing to do now (oh-oh) 
G5                D5                   A5
But save your breath for the chorus girl 

(Outro)
D5              A5   B5
La la la la la la 
         F#5     G5
La la la la la la 
            D5           A5
La la la la la la la la la 
D5              A5   B5
La la la la la la (woah-oh) 
         F#5        G5
La la la la la la (woah-oh) 
          D5                 A5
La la la la la la la la la la (oh-oh)...

(End on G5 )
