Chocolate Girl tab by Deacon Blue

Intro

Deacon Blue: Chocolate Girl
Standard tuning, no capo

It's not exactly like the orginal song but still sounds pretty good I think. I like to
vary the A#A# DmDm C majorC at the end of a lot of the lines just so it doesn't sound too repetitive, for example
skipping the A#A# or carrying the A#A# over for longer hence skipping the DmDm


Verse:

   FF            A#A# DmDm C majorC
Alan doesn't understand her
  FF            A#A# DmDm C majorC
He only thinks in numbers
  A minorAm       DmDm
He only drinks in restaurants
     A#A#        C majorC
Where the girls are fully covered

  FF              A#A# DmDm C majorC
And he can't trust his yearnings
    FF            A#A# DmDm C majorC
And he doesn't like pretending
  A minorAm        DmDm
His tempers stretched so much by work
  A#A#         C majorC
His heart needs gentle rending

Chorus:

A#A#        C majorC       A#A# DmDm C majorC
He calls her the chocolate girl
     A minorAm            DmDm     A#A# DmDm C majorC
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
A#A#         C majorC        A#A# DmDm C majorC
She knows she's the chocolate girl
       A minorAm       DmDm
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
  A#A#         C majorC
And wrapped in bits of silver


Verse:
   FF            A#A# DmDm C majorC
Alan doesn't understand this
  FF          A#A# DmDm C majorC
He says he's only human
  A minorAm         DmDm
So he still lights up with old flames
  A#A#      C majorC
As if to try and prove it

    FF          A#A# DmDm C majorC
And he doesn't like emotion
     FF            A#A# DmDm C majorC
He's not certain of their ardour
  A minorAm       DmDm
If pouting carries so much fun
   A#A#         C majorC
Then breaking hearts is harder

Chorus:

A#A#        C majorC       A#A# DmDm C majorC
He calls her the chocolate girl
     A minorAm            DmDm     A#A# DmDm C majorC
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
A#A#         C majorC        A#A# DmDm C majorC
She knows she's the chocolate girl
       A minorAm       DmDm
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
  A#A#         C majorC
And wrapped in bits of silver


Verse:

   FF           A#A# DmDm C majorC
Alan doesn't understand her
  FF             A#A# DmDm C majorC
He thinks it's getting harder
   A minorAm        DmDm
So he spends the night with old friends
A#A#       C majorC
Underneath the covers


Chorus:

A#A#        C majorC       A#A# DmDm C majorC
He calls her the chocolate girl
     A minorAm            DmDm     A#A# DmDm C majorC
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
A#A#         C majorC        A#A# DmDm C majorC
She knows she's the chocolate girl
       A minorAm       DmDm
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
  A#A#         C majorC
And wrapped in bits of silver


A#A#        C majorC       A#A# DmDm C majorC
He calls her the chocolate girl
     A minorAm            DmDm     A#A# DmDm C majorC
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
A#A#         C majorC        A#A# DmDm C majorC
She knows she's the chocolate girl
       A minorAm       DmDm
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
  A#A#         C majorC
