Just the basic chords to get you started with this great song.
Bb      Ab  G       Cm   F
Met this girl last night
She's a real life dancer
The kind that will change your life
She just stepped right up and sat down
Took a brand new tiara and lying it on the ground
Dm       Gm
Dm       Gm      F
She said
Are you healthy?
Do my pheromones make you happy?
Bb Eb Gm F Gm F
How do you tell a child that there's no God up in the sky
And it's all a lie
For nothing
How do you tell a son that his daddy left his mum when she fell in love with a girl like you?
With a girl like Sappho
With a girl like you
With a girl like Sappho
With a girl like you
BbTook a rAbide iGn her carCm  F  
She had back seat speakers
She took me to her favourite bar
Where she kicked off her heels again
Took a swing at the lampshade
And whispered softly in my ear
Then repeat the bridge and chorus a few times and you’ve got yourself a song.
Enjoy. David.
