BSo who's that D#7girl there?
I Emaj7wonder what went wrong
So that she Bhad to roam the streets
She D#7don't do major credit cards
I Emaj7doubt she does receipts
It's all not C#mquite legitimateF#  E  D#m  C#m  D#m  
BAnd what a D#7scummy man
Just Emaj7give him half a chance
I bet he'll Brob you if he can
Can D#7see it in his eyes, yeah
That he's Emaj7got a driving ban
Amongst some C#mother offencesF#  E  D#m  C#m  D#m  
GmAnd I've seen him with D#mgirls of the night
And Gmhe told Roxanne to put D#mon her red light
GmThey're all infected but D#mhe'll be alright
Cause he's a C#mscumbag, D#mdon't you knowE  F#m  
I said he's a scumbag, don't you knowBm!
*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:
EmThey said it F#mchanges when the Bmsun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
EmAround hereF#m  Bm  
ArouAndF#  
* 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...
EmThey said it F#mchanges when the Bmsun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
EmAround hereF#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
Around here
AroAund hereF#  
BWhat a D#7scummy man
Just Emaj7give him half a chance
I bet he'll Brob you if he can
Can D#7see it in his eyes that he's Emaj7got a nasty plan
I hope you're C#mnot involD#mved at allE  F#m
