Intro--- F#
[F#]Working the village shop [Bbm] Putting a poster up
[Ebm]Dreaming of anything [F#] Dreaming of the [Ebm]time
When you're [Bbm]free from all the [G#m]trouble you're in

[F#]In the mud, on your knees [Bbm]Trying hard not to please
[Ebm] Anyone, all the time [F#]Being a rebel's [Ebm]fine
But you go [Bbm]all the way to [F#]being brutal

Chorus:
[C#]You will have a boy tonight
[C#]You will have a boy tonight
[B]On the first bus out of town
[B]On the first bus out of town

So, [F#]let's see your kit for [Bbm]games
All the girls look the [Ebm]same You were challenging [F#]styles, were running [Ebm]miles
You're running [Bbm]miles in some boy's [G#m]jumper

[F#]Boo to the business world!
[Bbm]You know a girl who's [Ebm]tax free on her [F#]back and making [Ebm]plenty cash
While [Bbm]you are working for the [F#]joy of giving

Chorus:
[C#]You will have a boy tonight
[C#}You will have a boy tonight
[B]And you hope that she will see
[B]And you hope that she will see

[F#]You are in two minds [Bbm]Tossing a coin to [Ebm]decide 
whether you should [F#]tell your folks
About a [Ebm]dose of thrush you [Bbm]got from licking [G#m]railings

[F#]But you read in a book [Bbm]That you got free in Boots
[Ebm]There are lotions, [F#]there are potions
[Ebm]You can take to [Bbm]hide your shame from [F#]all those prying eyes

[F#]Lazy Jane, all the time [Bbm]painting lines you are [Ebm]sleeping at bus stops
[F#]Wondering how you [Ebm]got your name
And [Bbm]what you're going to [F#]do about it.
