Intro:
FF C majorC G+G Bb majorBb x2

Verse 1:
  FF        C majorC     G+G         Bb majorBb
Perhaps it was the holiday we spent abroad last year
  FF          C majorC        G+G  Bb majorBb
It could have been the wine we drank last night
FF      C majorC       G+G       Bb majorBb
Possibly the palace needs a second coat of paint
    FF        C majorC     G+G  Bb majorBb
But that doesn't condone setting it alight

Pre-chorus:
DmDm      Bb majorBb       C majorC
Why does the butler look so smug?
    DmDm       Bb majorBb      C majorC
And the gardener, well he looks even worse
   FF N.C.
He's sent me every flower that he's dug
N.C.     DmDm     C majorC         G+G   Bb majorBb
And have you ever seen a chauffeur drive a hearse


Chorus:
N.C.    FF    C majorC G+G Bb majorBb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah
      FF    C majorC G+G Bb majorBb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah
      FF    C majorC G+G Bb majorBb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah
      FF    C majorC G+G Bb majorBb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah


Verse 2:
  FF       C majorC      G+G       Bb majorBb
Perhaps it is the quantity of acres that we own
  FF        C majorC      G+G  Bb majorBb
It could be their allotment's only small
FF        C majorC     G+G       Bb majorBb
Maybe we should reconsider giving them a wage
   FF         C majorC         G+G  Bb majorBb
But a taste of money is worse that none at all

Pre-chorus:
DmDm         Bb majorBb      C majorC
The parlourmaid's a deadly quiet lass
DmDm      Bb majorBb       C majorC
Never really comes out of her shell
  FF N.C.
But every time I talk to her, she offers me a glass
N.C. DmDm       C majorC        G+G  Bb majorBb
Of a drink that she never drinks herself


Chorus:
N.C.    FF    C majorC G+G Bb majorBb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah
      FF    C majorC G+G Bb majorBb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah
      FF    C majorC G+G Bb majorBb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah
      FF    C majorC G+G Bb majorBb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah
FF

Outro:
    FF           DmDm       Bb majorBb
Of the company I keep and the stars you never meet
    FF               DmDm       Bb majorBb
Of the caviar they eat whilst you're chewing at your wheat
    FF                  DmDm       Bb majorBb
Of the hours that they sleep whilst you're sweating in the heat
    FF              DmDm          Bb majorBb
Of the masses at their feet and the tongue between their cheek
     FF
Think of stronger than the weak
     DmDm       Bb majorBb
Think of vulture and its beak
     FF               DmDm       Bb majorBb
Think of oil, think of sheikh, think of lord and comfy seat
     FF              DmDm      Bb majorBb
Think of admiral and fleet, think of public school elite
     FF
Think of leaders and their sheep
     DmDm         Bb majorBb
Think of butchers and their meat

Think of leaders and their sheep
