INTRO  D       Bm      G (three times)  then   G       A

                                           

 B                      E

Sit by my window and look outside

A                              G#m   E

Wonder why a sun don't shine on me

B                           E

What's wrong with you, you stupid child

A                                         G#m       C#

Don't you think that I'm the one you're waiting to see

F#                             B

Don't talk too much cause she falls for the soft touch

D                              E

Makes her feel everything is secure

        G            A                D

Don't ever leave a footprint on the floor

 

 

CHORUS

   D                      Bm   G

   Don't bother with the local girls

   D                      Bm   G

   Don't bother with the local girls

   D                      Bm   G      G     A

   Don't bother with the local girls

 

        B                   E

She's probably halfwit she must be straight

A                                  G#m        E

Bound to have a mother who knows nothing but hate

 B                             E

Don't want to laugh I'd rather knock her down

A                                   G#m       C#

Standing at the bus stop where she waits each morning

F#                     B

So isolated that she thinks that the army

        D                       E

Is the place where a man oughta be

       G                 A                D

Don't bother with them they don't bother me

 

 

REPEAT CHORUS (plus)

    D                           G

   Don't bother with the.... local girls

 

BRIDGE

      A                 G                   A               G

They got the walk they got the talk  Right down without a flaw

    A            G                 G            A              D

At six oclock I got to stop My dreaming at the counter of the store

D                       Bm   G      D                       Bm   G

Don't bother with them

D                       Bm   G     G    A

 

B                        E

Without a doubt I gotta intercept

A                           G#m             E

Must be time someone went shouted in their ear

B                           E

You look all right in that cheap green dress

A                                      G#m          C#

But every time you swish it round you make me disappear

F#                   B

Yes I'm aware of exactly what I'm doing

D                      E

Making everything a mystery,

G                      A              D

Don't bother with it, it don't bother me

 

CHORUS

 

   (3 times) and fade

 

Here's the story of this transcription:

 

Someone (off list) emailed me for the lyrics so I wrote them out and

at the same time I wrote down a couple of the chords. Then John

(jhayman@k12s.phast.umass.edu) saw it and made the necessary

additions and corrections.

 

For a while we were playing Emaj7 instead of E in the first line,

(B) Sit by my window and (Emaj7) look outside, but the current

thought is that the E is correct.

 

John wrote: "In hind sight and sound, Emaj7 is wrong and E is right.

Although he's singing a Db, the rhythm guitar is clearly playing a

Dave Edmund's "monkey beat" E." (I play that E at fret 4 (476454))
