Deacon Blue: Chocolate Girl
It's not exactly like the orginal song but still sounds pretty good I think. I like to 
vary the Bb Dm C at the end of a lot of the lines just so it doesn't sound too repetitive,
for example skipping the Bb or carrying the Bb over for longer hence skipping the Dm.
Verse:
Alan Fdoesn't understand herBb  Dm  C  
He oFnly thinks in numbersBb  Dm  C  
He Amonly drinks in Dmrestaurants
Where the Bbgirls are fully cCovered
And Fhe can't trust his yearningsBb  Dm  C  
And he Fdoesn't like pretendingBb  Dm  C  
His Amtempers stretched Dmso much by work
His Bbheart needs gentle Crending
Chorus:
BbHe calls her the Cchocolate girlBb  Dm  C  
'cause he Amthinks she melts when he tDmouches herBb  Dm  C  
BbShe knows she's the Cchocolate girlBb  Dm  C  
'cause she's Ambroken up and sDmwallowed
And Bbwrapped in bits of Csilver
Verse:
Alan Fdoesn't understand thisBb  Dm  C  
He Fsays he's only humanBb  Dm  C  
So Amhe still lights up Dmwith old flames
As Bbif to try and Cprove it
And he Fdoesn't like emotionBb  Dm  C  
He's not Fcertain of their ardourBb  Dm  C  
If Ampouting carries Dmso much fun
Then Bbbreaking hearts is Charder
Chorus:
BbHe calls her the Cchocolate girlBb  Dm  C  
'cause he Amthinks she melts when he tDmouches herBb  Dm  C  
BbShe knows she's the Cchocolate girlBb  Dm  C  
'cause she's Ambroken up and sDmwallowed
And Bbwrapped in bits of Csilver
Verse:
Alan Fdoesn't understand herBb  Dm  C  
He Fthinks it's getting harderBb  Dm  C  
So he Amspends the night Dmwith old friends
BbUnderneath the Ccovers
Chorus:
BbHe calls her the Cchocolate girlBb  Dm  C  
'cause he Amthinks she melts when he tDmouches herBb  Dm  C  
BbShe knows she's the Cchocolate girlBb  Dm  C  
'cause she's Ambroken up and sDmwallowed
And Bbwrapped in bits of Csilver
BbHe calls her the Cchocolate girlBb  Dm  C  
'cause he Amthinks she melts when he tDmouches herBb  Dm  C  
BbShe knows she's the Cchocolate girlBb  Dm  C  
'cause she's Ambroken up and sDmwallowed
And Bbwrapped in bits of Csilver
