Verse 1:
   F               C          G                 Bb
Perhaps it was the holiday we spent abroad last year
   F                   C               G    Bb
It could have been the wine we drank last night

Possibly the palace needs a second coat of paint
        F                C          G   Bb
But that doesn't condone setting it alight

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

N.C.        F       C  G  Bb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah
            F       C  G  Bb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah
            F       C  G  Bb

You're only jealous, Ah Ah


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


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


Chorus:
N.C.        F       C  G  Bb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah
            F       C  G  Bb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah
            F       C  G  Bb
You're only jealous, Ah Ah

You're only jealous, Ah Ah

Of the company I keep and the stars you never meet
       F                             Dm              Bb
Of the caviar they eat whilst you're chewing at your wheat
       F                                   Dm              Bb
Of the hours that they sleep whilst you're sweating in the heat
