	        B                       Eb7 
  So who's that girl there? 
E/Eb 
  I wonder what went wrong 
             Ebm 
So that she had to roam the streets 
      E/Eb 
She don't do major credit cards 
    Ebm 
I doubt she does receipts 
                     C#m       C#m F# E Ebm C#m Ebm 
It's all not quite legitimate 
 
B                  Eb7 
  And what a scummy man 
     E/Eb 
Just give him half a chance 
             Ebm 
I bet he'll rob you if he can 
   E/Eb 
Can see it in his eyes, yeah 
         Ebm 
That he's got a driving ban 
                  C#m         C#m F# E Ebm C#m Ebm 
Amongst some other offences 
 
G#m                      Ebm 
  And I've seen him with girls of the night 
   G#m                     Ebm 
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light 
G#m                        Ebm 
  They're all infected but he'll be alright 
           C#m        Ebm            E  F#  (start strumming on this line) 
Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know 
                               Bm 
I said he's a scumbag, don't you know! 
 
G F#(v2)Bm- repeat a few times  (only really play bottom 2 strings)

G F#(v2) Bm 
 
   (bass) 
Although you're trying not to listen 
I bet your eyes are staring at the ground 
She makes a subtle proposition 
I'm Sorry love I'll have to turn you down 
 
G F# Bm (palm muted through verse) 
And oh he must be up to something 
Want half a chance to show he's more than likely 
I've got a feeling in my stomach 
I start to wonder what his story might be 
What his story might be 
 
 Em           F#m               Bm 
They said it changes when the sun goes down 
 Em           F#m               Bm 
And they said it changes when the sun goes down 
 Em           F#m               Bm 
And they said it changes when the sun goes down 
  Em           F#m               Bm 
Around here 
 A        F#m 
Around

riff (guitar 1) 
G F#(v2) Bm (guitar 2) 
And look here comes a Ford Mondeo 
Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous 
And he don't have to say 'owt 
She understands she's here to get picked up 
And she's delighted when she sees him 
Pulling in and giving her the eye 
Because she must be fucking freezing 
Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky 
She don't stop in the winter, no and... 
 
 Em           F#m               Bm 
They said it changes when the sun goes down 
  Em           F#m               Bm

 Em           F#m               Bm 
And they said it changes when the sun goes down 
 Em           F#m               Bm 
Around here 
 Em           F#m               Bm 
They said it changes when the sun goes down 
 Em           F#m               Bm 
And they said it changes when the sun goes down 
  Em           F#m               Bm

B               Eb7 
What a scummy man 
E/Eb 
Just give him half a chance 
           Ebm 
I bet he'll rob you if he can 
   E/Eb                                     Ebm 
Can see it in his eyes yeah that he's got a nasty plan 
              C#m        Ebm            E  F# 
I hope you're not involved at all 
 
(not too sure what is here, mess about in Bb) 
 
Finish on B
