Capo 1

Intro:
G+G x4

Verse:
    G+G                     C majorC          D MajorD
Ripples round the bar they don't know what to think
    D7D7               B minorBm         C majorC       E minorEm
For prince of the pen has himself a new favourite drink
C majorC \t\t\t   G+G           C majorC
To blow on bruised skin takes away the sting
         G+G         D MajorD      G+G
I've half a mind to take him for a fling
        G+G                  C majorC           D MajorD
The most uncouth of colours that you have ever seen
D7D7                C majorC           D7D7 \t\tEb dim (or B7B7)
30mls of vodka lemonade and grenadine
    E minorEm   C majorC                G+G \t\t     C majorC
The smoke makes me sick and i don't know where to look
  \t   C majorC    \t\t   G+G            D\t\t G+G
There's a church mouse in the corner with her nose stuck in a book
              D7D7     G+G
And she says the flavour's flambouyant
     D MajorD        G+G           C majorC         E minorEm
Each sip sweetly poignant with a wave of the hand and a flick of the fringe
  D7D7      G+G          D MajorD         G+G
It baffles the quibblers, nit-pickers, nut-nibblers
   C majorC \t\t\t\t\t  D MajorD (C majorC shape 2 frets up)
An unusual weapon to choose for a binge

G+G x4 (with variations)

\t      D7D7              G+G            D MajorD            G+G
Would these words sound the same on high street in broad daylight
    C majorC     E minorEm
But nothing escapes the ears of a playwright
   D7D7      G+G          D MajorD          G+G
He listens intently from the backseat of a Bentley
       C majorC                          D MajorD (C majorC shape 2 frets up)
Let this feeling of change take hold of me gently
          G+G                 C majorC      D MajorD
Now there's fog on the Isis and the poets all gush
    D7D7                   B minorBm       C majorC            E minorEm
This scene is straight from the stroke of an impressionist's brush
    C\t\t      G+G             C majorC
And now his glass is sat there next to mine
C majorC      G+G    D MajorD           G+G
30mls of vodka lemonade and grenadine
