pre>intro d bm g (three times) then g a

b e
sit by my window and look outside
a g#me
wonder why a sun don’t shine on me
be
what’s wrong with you, you stupid child
a g#m c#
don’t you think that i’m the one you’re waiting to see
f# b
don’t talk too much cause she falls for the soft touch
d e
makes her feel everything is secure
g a d
don’t ever leave a footprint on the floor

chorus
d bmg
don’t bother with the local girls
d bm g
don’t bother with the local girls
d bm g g a
don’t bother with the local girls

b e
she’s probably halfwit she must be straight
a g#m e
bound to have a mother who knows nothing but hate
be
don’t want to laugh i’d rather knock her down
a g#mc#
standing at the bus stop where she waits each morning
f#b
so isolated that she thinks that the army
d e
is the place where a man oughta be
g a d
don’t bother with them they don’t bother me

repeat chorus (plus)
d g
don’t bother with the… local girls

bridge
a g a g
they got the walk they got the talk right down without a flaw
a g g a d
at six oclock i got to stop my dreaming at the counter of the store
dbm g d bm g
don’t bother with them
d bmg g a

b e
without a doubt i gotta intercept
a g#m e
must be time someone went shouted in their ear
b e
you look all right in that cheap green dress
a g#m c#
but every time you swish it round you make me disappear
f# b
yes i’m aware of exactly what i’m doing
d e
making everything a mystery,
ga d
don’t bother with it, it don’t bother me

chorus

(3 times) and fade

here’s the story of this transcription:

someone (off list) emailed me for the lyrics so i wrote them out and
at the same time i wrote down a couple of the chords. then john
(jhayman@k12s.phast.um-ss.edu) saw it and made the necessary
additions and corrections.

for a while we were playing emaj7 instead of e in the first line,
(b) sit by my window and (emaj7) look outside, but the current
thought is that the e is correct.

john wrote: “in hind sight and sound, emaj7 is wrong and e is right.
although he’s singing a db, the rhythm guitar is clearly playing a
dave edmund’s “monkey beat” e.” (i play that e at fret 4 (476454))
