Verse 1:

G                    C/G
Bella donna's on the high street

G                    C/G
Her breasts upon the off beat

G                           C/G
And the stalls are just the side shows

G            C/G
Victoriana's old clothes

G                     C/G
And yes her jeans are tight now

G                 C/G
She got to travel light now

G                          C/G
She got to turn up all her roots now

G                         C/G
She got a turn up for the boots now



Chorus:

G
She thinks she's tough

G                         C/G
She ain't no English rose

G
But the blind singer

G                             C/G
He's seen enough and he knows

F6               Cadd9        G                  C/G
Yes and he do a song about a long-gone Irish girl

F6               Cadd9        G                  C/G
Ah but I got one for you
Portobello Belle


Verse 2:

G                       C/G
She sees a man upon his back there

G               C/G
Escaping from a sack there

G               C/G
And Bella donna lingers

G                       C/G
Her gloves ain't got no fingers

G                           C/G
Yeah, the blind man sing in Irish

G                     C/G
He get his money in a tin dish

G                 C/G
Just a corner serenader

G                    C/G
Upon a time he could have made her, made her



Chorus:

G
She thinks she's tough

G                        C/G
She ain't no English rose

G
But the blind singer

G                            C/G
He's seen enough and he knows

F6               Cadd9        G                  C/G
Yes and he do a song about a long-gone Irish girl

F6               Cadd9        G                  C/G
Ah but I got one for you
Portobello Belle



Verse 3:

G                           C/G
Yes and the barrow boys are hawking

G                   C/G
And the parakeet's squawking

G                       C/G
Upon a truck there is a rhino

G                       C/G
She get the crying of a wino

G                            C/G
And then she hear the reggae rumble

G                    C/G
Bella donna's in the jungle

G                    C/G
But she is no garden flower

G                           C/G
There is no distress in the tower



Outro:

G
Bella donna walks

G                           C/G
Bella donna taking a stroll

G                                     C/G
She don't care about your window box or your buttonhole

F6               Cadd9        G                  C/G
Yes and she sing a song about a long-gone Irish girl

Ah but I got one for you
Portobello Belle
