   [Intro]
G     G
[Verse 1]
G                    C/G
Bella donna's on the high street
G                    C/G
Her breasts upon the off beat
G                           C/G
And the stalls are just the side shows
G            C/G
Victoriana's old clothes
G                     C/G
And yes her jeans are tight now
G                 C/G
She got to travel light now
G                          C/G
She got to turn up all her roots now
G                         C/G
She got a turn up for the boots now
[Chorus]
G   C/G
She thinks she's tough
                     G
She ain't no English rose
        C/G
But the blind singer
                        G
He's seen enough and he knows
        Fmaj7                C/G       G
Yes and he do a song about a long-gone Irish girl
       Fmaj7            C/G               G
Ah but I got one for you,   Portobello Belle
[Verse 2]
G                       C/G
She sees a man upon his back there
G               C/G
Escaping from a sack there
G               C/G
And Bella donna lingers
G                       C/G
Her gloves ain't got no fingers
G                           C/G
Yeah, the blind man sing in Irish
G                     C/G
He get his money in a tin dish
G                 C/G
Just a corner serenader
G                    C/G
Upon a time he could have made her, made her
[Chorus]
G   C/G
She thinks she's tough
                     G
She ain't no English rose
        C/G
But the blind singer
                        G
He's seen enough and he knows
        Fmaj7                C/G       G
Yes and he do a song about a long-gone Irish girl
       Fmaj7            C/G               G
Ah but I got one for you,   Portobello Belle
[Verse 3]
G                           C/G
Yes and the barrow boys are hawking
G                   C/G
And the parakeet's squawking
G                       C/G
Upon a truck there is a rhino
G                       C/G
She get the crying of a wino
G                            C/G
And then she hear the reggae rumble
G                    C/G
Bella donna's in the jungle
G                    C/G
But she is no garden flower
G                           C/G
There is no distress in the tower
[Outro]
C/G
Bella donna walks
                     G
Bella donna taking a stroll
          C/G                                      G
She don't care about your window box or your buttonhole
            Fmaj7               C/G       G
Yes and she sing a song about a long-gone Irish girl
        Fmaj7           C/G             G
Ah but I got one for you,    Portobello Belle
