Verse 1:

G+G          C/GC/G
Bella donna's on the high street

G+G          C/GC/G
Her breasts upon the off beat

G+G              C/GC/G
And the stalls are just the side shows

G+G      C/GC/G
Victoriana's old clothes

G+G           C/GC/G
And yes her jeans are tight now

G+G         C/GC/G
She got to travel light now

G+G             C/GC/G
She got to turn up all her roots now

G+G             C/GC/G
She got a turn up for the boots now


Chorus:

G+G
She thinks she's tough

G+G             C/GC/G
She ain't no English rose

G+G
But the blind singer

G+G               C/GC/G
He's seen enough and he knows

F6F6        Cadd9Cadd9    G+G         C/GC/G
Yes and he do a song about a long-gone Irish girl

F6F6        Cadd9Cadd9    G+G         C/GC/G
Ah but I got one for you
Portobello Belle


Verse 2:

G+G            C/GC/G
She sees a man upon his back there

G+G        C/GC/G
Escaping from a sack there

G+G        C/GC/G
And Bella donna lingers

G+G            C/GC/G
Her gloves ain't got no fingers

G+G              C/GC/G
Yeah, the blind man sing in Irish

G+G           C/GC/G
He get his money in a tin dish

G+G         C/GC/G
Just a corner serenader

G+G          C/GC/G
Upon a time he could have made her, made her


Chorus:

G+G
She thinks she's tough

G+G            C/GC/G
She ain't no English rose

G+G
But the blind singer

G+G              C/GC/G
He's seen enough and he knows

F6F6        Cadd9Cadd9    G+G         C/GC/G
Yes and he do a song about a long-gone Irish girl

F6F6        Cadd9Cadd9    G+G         C/GC/G
Ah but I got one for you

Verse 3:

G+G              C/GC/G
Yes and the barrow boys are hawking

G+G          C/GC/G
And the parakeet's squawking

G+G            C/GC/G
Upon a truck there is a rhino

G+G            C/GC/G
She get the crying of a wino

G+G              C/GC/G
And then she hear the reggae rumble

G+G          C/GC/G
Bella donna's in the jungle

G+G          C/GC/G
But she is no garden flower

G+G              C/GC/G
There is no distress in the tower


Outro:

G+G
Bella donna walks

G+G              C/GC/G
Bella donna taking a stroll

G+G                   C/GC/G
She don't care about your window box or your buttonhole

F6F6        Cadd9Cadd9    G+G         C/GC/G
Yes and she sing a song about a long-gone Irish girl

F6F6        Cadd9Cadd9    G+G         C/GC/G
