Biography:
Deacon Blue is a Scottish pop band formed in Glasgow in 1985. Their name came from the title of the Steely Dan song "Deacon Blues". Success came for the band in 1989 when their second studio album, When The World Knows Your Name, topped the UK Album Charts. The album included "Real Gone Kid" which became their first UK top ten single. After releasing further albums in 1991 and 1993, they split up in 1994. Five years later, in 1999, the band held a reunion gig and this led to the album, Walking Back Home.

Deacon Blue: Chocolate Girl
Standard tuning, no capo
It's not exactly like the orginal song but still sounds pretty good I think. I like to
vary the A# Dm C at the end of a lot of the lines just so it doesn't sound too repetitive, for example
skipping the A# or carrying the A# over for longer hence skipping the Dm
Verse:
F A# Dm C
Alan doesn't understand her
F A# Dm C
He only thinks in numbers
Am Dm
He only drinks in restaurants
A# C
Where the girls are fully covered
F A# Dm C
And he can't trust his yearnings
F A# Dm C
And he doesn't like pretending
Am Dm
His tempers stretched so much by work
A# C
His heart needs gentle rending
Chorus:
A# C A# Dm C
He calls her the chocolate girl
Am Dm A# Dm C
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
A# C A# Dm C
She knows she's the chocolate girl
Am Dm
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
A# C
And wrapped in bits of silver
Verse:
F A# Dm C
Alan doesn't understand this
F A# Dm C
He says he's only human
Am Dm
So he still lights up with old flames
A# C
As if to try and prove it
F A# Dm C
And he doesn't like emotion
F A# Dm C
He's not certain of their ardour
Am Dm
If pouting carries so much fun
A# C
Then breaking hearts is harder
Chorus:
A# C A# Dm C
He calls her the chocolate girl
Am Dm A# Dm C
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
A# C A# Dm C
She knows she's the chocolate girl
Am Dm
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
A# C
And wrapped in bits of silver
Verse:
F A# Dm C
Alan doesn't understand her
F A# Dm C
He thinks it's getting harder
Am Dm
So he spends the night with old friends
A# C
Underneath the covers
Chorus:
A# C A# Dm C
He calls her the chocolate girl
Am Dm A# Dm C
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
A# C A# Dm C
