Chocolate Girl tab by Deacon Blue

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# Dm C at the end of a lot of the lines just so it doesn't sound too repetitive, for example
skipping the A# or carrying the A# over for longer hence skipping the Dm


Verse:

     F                       A# Dm C
Alan doesn't understand her
    F                       A# Dm C
He only thinks in numbers
   Am             Dm
He only drinks in restaurants
          A#               C
Where the girls are fully covered

    F                            A# Dm C
And he can't trust his yearnings
       F                        A# Dm C
And he doesn't like pretending
    Am                Dm
His tempers stretched so much by work
    A#                 C
His heart needs gentle rending


Chorus:

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


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

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


Chorus:

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


Verse:

     F                      A# Dm C
Alan doesn't understand her
   F                          A# Dm C
He thinks it's getting harder
      Am               Dm
So he spends the night with old friends
A#             C
Underneath the covers


Chorus:

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


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