Capo 1
[Intro]
G x4
[Verse]
G C D
Ripples round the bar they don't know what to think
D7 Bm C Em
For prince of the pen has himself a new favourite drink
C G C
To blow on bruised skin takes away the sting
G D G
I've half a mind to take him for a fling
G C D
The most uncouth of colours that you have ever seen
D7 C D7 Eb dim (or B7)
30mls of vodka lemonade and grenadine
Em C G C
The smoke makes me sick and i don't know where to look
C G D G
There's a church mouse in the corner with her nose stuck in a book
D7 G
And she says the flavour's flambouyant
D G C Em
Each sip sweetly poignant with a wave of the hand and a flick of the fringe
D7 G D G
It baffles the quibblers, nit-pickers, nut-nibblers
C D (C shape 2 frets up)
An unusual weapon to choose for a binge
G x4 (with variations)
D7 G D G
Would these words sound the same on high street in broad daylight
C Em
But nothing escapes the ears of a playwright
D7 G D G
He listens intently from the backseat of a Bentley
C D (C shape 2 frets up)
Let this feeling of change take hold of me gently
G C D
Now there's fog on the Isis and the poets all gush
D7 Bm C Em
This scene is straight from the stroke of an impressionist's brush
C G C
And now his glass is sat there next to mine
C G D G
30mls of vodka lemonade and grenadine
