🎸 Curly And Raquel chords by Martha

Intro:
E A C#m F# G# A E x4


Verse:
E          B
You tried to play it cool
               C#m
When the blue lights started flashing
            A
But that calm demeanour slipped
            E
On the day that you got nicked
            B
Cut me open and you'll see
            C#m
That same anxiety runs all the way through me
       A
That stick of rock you never licked

Pre-Chorus:
C#m       F#
All the stories that we tell
A        E
Roy and Hayley, Curly and Raquel
F
Romantic reference
    B
Come on tell me what's your preference?


Chorus:
E       A
Celebrating my love for you
    C#m         F#
With a stick'n'poke and an Iron Brew
E      A      C#m
Wondering if you can even tell?
F#   G#  A E        A
Finding some excuse to walk in your direction
C#m       F#
Bathe you in concealed affection
E      A       C#m
Subtlety's a word I cannot spell
     F#    G#  A E
But it's probably just as well


Instrumental:
E A C#m F# G# A E x2


Verse:
E          B
Here's the rub, they bulldozed the companions club
  C#m               A
Now we've gotta learn to occupy our time
    E
Kicking stones, so it goes
    B
All our favourite haunts are closed
       C#m                A
Let's sack it off and play a board game back at mine


Pre-Chorus:
C#m      F#
Weatherfield Mademoiselle
A        E      F#
Thinking back to Curly and Raquel
F#
On your arrival
   B
I can turn on the subtitles


Chorus:
E       A
Celebrating my love for you
    C#m       F#
With a cherry pop and a bad tattoo
  E      A      C#m
And wondering if you can even tell?
F#   G#  A E        A
Finding some excuse to walk in your direction
C#m       F#
Bathe you in concealed affection
E      A       C#m
Subtlety's a word I cannot spell
     F#    G#  A E
But it's probably just as well


Instrumental:
E A C#m F# G# A E x2
E B C#m A x2


Bridge:
E
The story of
 B
A lonely kid who fell in love
   C#m               A
When you spray painted 'ACAB' on the wall
           A
Of the local village hall


Outro:
E B C#m A x2

E      B          C#m      A
Celebrate my love for you with a stick and poke tattoo
E      B          C#m      A
Celebrate my love for you with a stick and poke tattoo
E
The story of
 B
A lonely kid who fell in love
   C#m               A
when you spray painted 'ACAB' on the wall
