 "Margarita"(McCann)
  From "Turn"(1999)
  This one's far from my favourite tune from The B'ys,
   but for the sake of completeness....
    *Capo on the second fret*
     Intro:  C   Am| Fmaj7  G| X2
 I sCee you in the front row,bouAmncing up and down
 You're riFmaj7pped and ready for a niGght downtown
 And aCll the pretty boys are chAmasing you around
 Cause they aFmaj7ll wanna win your affeGction
 You spent three hours getting ready for the show
 Nothing on underneath and everybody knows
 Mama said wear a coat or catch your death of cold
 What's wrong with a little flirtation?
 Pre-chorus:
 And then you smFile Cat Gme
 Is that a wFink CI sGee?
 Did I caFtch your eGye?
 Should I eFven tGry?
 Chorus:
 Oh, my MCargarita (Csus4MargarCita)
 Like to meet you (Margarita)
 Marguarita (Marguarita)
 I Think I need you (Marguarita)
 Take your time, dance real slow
 Remember that song from the radio
 Got your old man's car, got a place to go
 Cause we all need a little temptation
 Those two big fellas are looking for a fight
 It's what they like to do on a Saturday night
 Maybe it's the alcohol, maybe it's the lights
 But they just want to get your attention
 Chorus,intro,then bridge:
 TGalk to me,Cbaby, Fit's aGlright
 I Gmight look Cstrange, but FI don't bGite
 And if you lCet me hFold your hGand
 I can find a Cway to make you uFnderstGand
 Called last call, now it's time to go
 But I'm not the guy who gets to walk you home
 We could have made history, I guess we'll never know
 I'll see you in dreams
 Chorus x2, intro to end.
