Verse 1:
        Bb
I could see that the sun it was deadly
      Eb/Bb
She's putting her hand in the fire
    F7/A
Her velvety skin it was cooking
Cm                       Cm/Bb                 F7/A
Lily white (Lily white), lily white turning to raspberry
             Bb
But when she slips in between the sheets tonight
    Eb/Bb
The memory will linger and burn
             F7/A
And when she look at the face in the mirror
       Cm
What a terrible sight
Cm/Bb                 F7/A
Lily white turning to raspberry
 F7sus4        F7  F7sus4 F7  F7sus4 F7
(When it burns you rub on the lo-    tion
Gm Gmadd9       Gm  Gmadd9 Gm  Gmadd9 Gm    F  Eb
   If it stings you sit in the o-     cean, oh no)

Chorus:
    Dm
Les nouveaux riches, when they
Bb                       F
   Très fatigué they fly, off to the sunshine
     Gm       A
They set jet away, they don't
Dm                   Bb
   Get a kick, they don't get a buzz man
    F                      Gm        A
They talk in circles, they not for us oh

   Get a buzz, they don't get a kick
        F                      Gm        A
Man they talk in circles, they must be thick
      Dm       Em F
A say tick dem
       Em
A tick tick tick-a

Verse 2:
        Bb
I could see that the guys were a hassle
    Eb/Bb
She tried to handle them cool
        F7/A
But her interbreeding was showing
Cm                     Cm/Bb
Tumbling out on the banks of the old
           F7/A
Swimming pool (Oh, oh oh oh)
       Bb
So she buried her fears in a bottle
    Eb/Bb
The juices beginning to flow
        F7/A
And her stiff upper lip it was trembling
Cm                   Cm/Bb                    F7/A
Tripping her up, her words were beginning to roll
 F7sus4           F7  F7sus4     F7  F7sus4 F7
(Hush your mouth, you can't fool the na-    tives
Gm Gmadd9     Gm     Gmadd9   Gm Gmadd9 Gm  F  Eb
   Telegraph, they's going to re-lay    it, oh no)

Verse 3:
    Bb
I remember the tears in her eyes
    Eb/Bb
She tried to hide them away
        F7/A
But her time it was going too quickly
       Cm                     Cm/Bb             F7/A
Just another few days, she'll soon be flying away
        Bb
But her memory will stay here forever
  Eb/Bb
A time she will never forget
        F/A
All the sun and the sand and the water
       Cm                   Cm/Bb              F7/A
Such a beautiful place, she never got her feet wet
 F7sus4  F7  F7sus4  F7 F7sus4 F7
(No way, she keeping a  cool   head
Gm     Gmadd9    Gm   Gmadd9 Gm  Gmadd9 Gm   F  Eb
   She get a tan from under  the sun    bed, oh no)
