Local Girls Lyrics

Pre>intro d bm g (three times) then g a

B e
Sit by my window and look outside
A g#me
Wonder why a sun don't shine on me
Be
What's wrong with you, you stupid child
A g#m c#
Don't you think that I'm the one you're waiting to see
F# b
Don't talk too much cause she falls for the soft touch
D e
Makes her feel everything is secure
G a d
Don't ever leave a footprint on the floor

Chorus
D bmg
Don't bother with the local girls
D bm g
Don't bother with the local girls
D bm g g a
Don't bother with the local girls

B e
She's probably halfwit she must be straight
A g#m e
Bound to have a mother who knows nothing but hate
Be
Don't want to laugh I'd rather knock her down
A g#mc#
Standing at the bus stop where she waits each morning
F#b
So isolated that she thinks that the army
D e
Is the place where a man oughta be
G a d
Don't bother with them they don't bother me

Repeat chorus (plus)
D g
Don't bother with the.... local girls

Bridge
A g a g
They got the walk they got the talk right down without a flaw
A g g a d
At six oclock I got to stop my dreaming at the counter of the store Dbm g d bm g
Don't bother with them
D bmg g a

B e
Without a doubt I gotta intercept
A g#m e
Must be time someone went shouted in their ear
B e
You look all right in that cheap green dress
A g#m c#
But every time you swish it round you make me disappear
F# b
Yes I'm aware of exactly what I'm doing
D e
Making everything a mystery,
Ga d
Don't bother with it, it don't bother me

Chorus

(3 times) and fade

Here's the story of this transcription:

Someone (off list) emailed me for the lyrics so I wrote them out and
At the same time I wrote down a couple of the chords. then john
(jhayman@k12s.phast.umass.edu) saw it and made the necessary
Additions and corrections.

For a while we were playing emaj7 instead of e in the first line,
(b) sit by my window and (emaj7) look outside, but the current
Thought is that the e is correct.

John wrote: "in hind sight and sound, emaj7 is wrong and e is right.
Although he's singing a db, the rhythm guitar is clearly playing a
Dave edmund's "monkey beat" e." (I play that e at fret 4 (476454))
