[Intro]
    Em    Am    Gx4
[Verse 1]
Arabella's got some iEmnterstellar-gator skin bootsAm  
And a Ghelter skelter 'round her lEmittle finger and I ride it endleAmsslyG  
She's got a BaEmrbarella silver swimsuitAm  
And when she Gneeds to shelter from reEmality she takes a dip in my dayAmdreamsG  
[Pre-Chorus]
     EmMy days end best when Amthis sunset gets Gitself
     EmBehind that little Amlady sitting Gon the passeEmnger side
It's much less Ampicturesque withGout her catching Emthe light
N.C.
The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes
[Chorus]

Arabella's got some interstellar-gator skin boots

My days end best when this sunset gets itself

Behind that little lady sitting on the passenger side

It's much less picturesque without her catching the light
