[Verse]
G Em Am
Arabella's got some interstellar gator skin boots
G Em Am G
And a Helter Skelter 'round her little finger and I ride it endlessly
Em Am
She's got a Barbarella silver swimsuit
G Em
And when she needs to shelter from reality
Am G
She takes a dip in my daydreams
[Chorus]
Em** Am* G* Em**
My days end best when the sunset gets itself behind
Am* G* Em**
That little lady sitting on the passen-ger side
Am* G* Em**
It's much less picturesque without her catching the light
The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes
Em** G* Em** Am* Em** G* Em** Bm*
As Arabella
Em** G* Em** Am* Em** G* Em** Bm*
Oh As Arabella
Em** G* Em** Am* Em** G* Em** Bm*

[Verse]
G Em Am
Arabella's got a '70s head
G
But she's a modern lover
Em Am G
It's an exploration she's made of outer space
Em Am
And her lips are like the galaxy's edge
G Em Am G
And her kiss the color of a constellation falling into place
[Chorus]
Em** Am* G* Em**
My days end best when the sunset gets itself behind
Am* G* Em**
That little lady sitting on the passen-ger side
Am* G* Em**
It's much less picturesque without her catching the light
The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes

C Am
(That's magic) in a cheetah print coat
Em
(Just a slip) underneath it I hope
G
(Asking if) I can have one of those
C
(Organic) cigarettes that she smokes
Am
(Rubs her lips) 'round a Mexican Coke
C
(Makes you wish) that you were the bottle

(Takes a sip) of your soul, and it sounds like
