THE SMITHS: “SHEILA TAKE A BOW”
Chords by Ney Young
B
          E            D                  A
Is it wrong to want to live on your own?
E            A                         C#m
No, it's not wrong - but I must know
        E      D         A
How can someone so young
E    A                B
Sing words so sad?
  E            D             F#m
Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow
         C                 D          E
Boot the grime of this world in the crotch dear
                D         F#m
And don't go home tonight
                      C               D             E      C
Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you
                     D            E      B
The one that you love and who loves you, oh
          E         D               A
Is it wrong not to always be glad
E            A                      C#m
No, it's not wrong - but I must add
        E      D        A
How can someone so young
E    A               B
Sing words so sad?
   E           D             F#m
Sheila take a, Sheila take a bow
         C                 D             E
Boot the grime of this world in the crotch dear
                 D       F#m
And don't go home tonight
                      C                D            E       C
Come out and find the one that you love and who loves you
                    D             E      B
The one that you love and who loves you, oh
            E       D         F#m
Take my hand and off we stride
   C     D        E
Oh la la la la la la la la
                    D       F#m
You're a girl and I'm a boy
C     D        E      C
La la la la la la la la
      D           E
La la la la la la
            E      D          F#m
Take my hand and off we stride
   C     D        E

I'm a girl and you're a boy

La la la la la la
      D          E
La la la la la la
               D           F#m
Sheila take a, Sheila take bow
C     D        E
La la la la la la la la
                    D            F#m
Throw your homework onto the fire
     C                D               E  C
Come out and find the one that you love
                      D                Em7
Come out and find the one that you love
