SLIT SKIRTS
INTRO:
Bbm / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / ||
VERSE I:
I was just thirty-four years old and I was still
[Bbm]Wandering in a haze
[Absus4]I was wondering why eve[Ab]ryone I met seemed like they were
[F#sus4]Lost in a maze[F#]
[Ebsus4]I don't know why[Eb] I thought I should have some kind of
[Bbm]Divine right to the blues
[Absus4]It's sympathy not tears pe[Ab]ople need when they're the
[F#sus4]Front Page sad news.[F#]
[Ebsus4]The incense bur[Eb]ned away and the
[Bb(add2)]Stench began to rise
[Ebmaj7]And lovers now estranged avoided
[Bb(add2)]Catching each others' eyes
[Ebmaj7]PRE-CHORUS I:
And girls who lost their children cursed the
[Fmaj7]Men who fit the coil[Cmaj7]
[Fmaj7]And men not fit [Cmaj7]for marriage took their
[Fmaj7]Refuge in the oil[Cmaj7]
[Fmaj7]No-one respect[Cmaj7]s the flame quite like the
[Gmaj7]Fool who's badly bur[Dmaj7]ned
[Gmaj7]>From all this yo[Dmaj7]u'd imagine that there
[Gmaj7]Must be something lea[Dmaj7]rned . . .
[C11]CHORUS I
Slit skirts, Jeanie isn't wearing those
[C]Slit skirts, and I don't ever wear no
[F(add2)]Ripped shirts, can't pretend that growing older
[Am7]Never hurts.
[Bb(add2)]Knee-pants, Jeanie never wears those
[C]Knee-pants, have to be so drunk to try a
[F(add2)]New dance, so afraid of every little
[Am7]Romance . . .
[Bb(add2)]Slit skirts, slit skirts, Jeanie isn't wearing those
[D]Slit skirts, slit skirts, she wouldn't dare in those
[Bm]Slit skirts, slit skirts, wouldn't be seen dead in those
[Gmaj7]Slit skirts
[C11]Romance, romance, why aren't we thinking up
[D]Romance? Why can't we drink it up
[Bm]True-heart romance, just need a brief new little
[Gmaj7]Romance . . .
[C11]
VERSE II
Let me tell you some more about myself, you know I'm sitting at home
just now.
The big events of the day have passed and the late TV shows have come
on.
I'm number one on the home team, but I still feel unfulfilled. A
silent voice
in a broken heart complains that I'm unskilled. And I know that when
she
thinks of me, she thinks of me as him, but unlike me she don't workout
her
frustrations in the gym.
Recriminations fester and the past can never change, a woman's
expectations
run from both ends of the range.
Once she walked with untamed lovers face between her legs,
Now he's cooled and stifled and it's she who has to beg...
(Repeat VERSE I, PRE-CHORUS I & CHORUS I)
[FADE](Repeat last four lines of CHORUS I)
