Intro: D  Dsus4  D 

G 
She lives on Pony Street 
G                                       C 
And they should scatter flowers at her feet 
    D              C         G   
But when they come calling I think it's appalling 
        Am        D        G  
They're sober and they're polite 
        D           C          G   
They're deeply respectful when I would expect them 
    Am                          D  
To keep her out all night 
G 
That little martinet 
G                    C 
Will get her own way yet 
   D             C         G        
If you need instruction in mindless destruction 
     Am         D        G  
I'll show you a thing or two 
    D          C         G                   Am 
You used to adore me but now my life flashes before me 
    D  
For you to view 

   D           A           D            G         Em  
Oh mother, oh mother, sometimes you are so mortifying  
         D             A           D            G                  Em 
From the hole in your leopard skin tights I can tell you've been spying 
    D         A        D        G             Em 
But your generation confesses before it transgresses 
      D        A         D       G          Em  
Those Super-8 movies of daddy in your disco dresses 

G 
If you're going out tonight 
C            Am  
I won't wait up 
Reading 'Das Kapital' 
A  
Watching 'Home Shopping Club'  
             D 
While you're flogging a dead horse  
C       G        D     G 
All the way down Pony Street 
D              G        D  
Where you live after a fashion 
C       G        D     G  
All the way down Pony Street 
     D           G                C       
The life and the soul of every indiscretion 
Am                             D 
That lives on, that lives on, that lives on 
C    G/B  
Pony Street 

D             A            D            G          Em 
Daughter, oh daughter, you know I will love you forever 
     D           A            D              G           Em  
But spare me the white ankle socks with the lace and the leather 
    F            A       D             G        Em  
For you and your cartoon threat do no good to resist me 
    F         A      D              G             Em  
For I am the genuine thing but for you it's just history 

G 
If you're going out tonight 
C              Am 
How can you be sure 
Where you lay your pretty head  
A 
Mother may have been before  
            D 
So you're flogging a dead horse 
C       G        D    G  
All the way down Pony Street  
D              G       D  
Where you live after a fashion 
C       G        D    G   
All the way down Pony Street 
    D            G                  C  
The life and the soul of every indiscretion  
Am              Am 
That lives on, That lives on 
Am              A             A  
That lives on, That lives on, That lives on 
D   Dsus4 D   
She lives on Pony Street 2x  
D   Dsus4 D   D   Dsus4 D   
She lives on, she lives on 2x
