Chorus 1:

 Bm/           Bm/
   From here to  Salvador
 Bm/          Bm/  Bm/
   The ladies dance
 Bm/          Bm/
   To fill us reckless sons
        Bm/                 Bm\
   With the passions of the heart

Verse 1:

(Played choppy and often mute strings, by lifting fingers off the fretboard, in-between strumming.)

 Bm
   I've been around this town for so long
                                      C#m
   She's been dancing since the first day

   I've been all around but
    Bm
   I  love comin' back to see Lucy


Verse 2:

      Bm
   She  swings me over to pull me out

   Twirls around and I fall about
      C#m
   In giggles and laughter

   Oh! I'm plastered
   Bm
   Can't damn help it, I'm sorry love


Verse 3:

 Bm\
   What's to falling feeling feet?
 Bm\
   For bouncing a-round-a these streets
           C#m\                     Bm\
   They're lonely, like you and you for me

   To ask for a dance or two


Bridge:

          Bm
   With a heart of gold

   And a face so pale
          C#m
   With a second-hand dress
           Bm
   And the lips of a temptress


Verse 4:

   Bm
   Barstool banshee, howled out at me
                                                   C#m
   The kings and queens of the clubs, evolved from pubs

   And too much broken heart love
       Bm
   And singin' up the blues in a locked boxed bedroom


Pre-chorus:

     Bm\
   A-wop-bop-A-loo-bops, A-wop-bamboo
   Bm\
   Are ya gonna take the chance
   G\
   Why do ya care, know or play fair
       G-Bass                      F#-Bass
   And neither do the lords of the dance


Guitar riff:

 Bm/    G/      F#/     F#
   From here to Salvador
       Bm/     G/  F#/
   The ladies dance
              Bm/
   To fill us reckless sons
  G/          F#/             F#
   With the passions of the heart

Verse 5:

               Bm\
   Well it's a bang-bang, Anglo Saxons at the disco
     Bm
   A-tisch-oo! All fall down
              C#m
   Hound dogs growl on the prowl

   For the next young gal
       Bm
   Who told her daddy "I'm goin' 'round Gemma's to...


Verse 6:

      Bm\
   ...learn and study.
                              Bm
   I'm young, so free and I'm kinda sexy
                                 C#m
   When I'm on the floor all the boys they feel me
                        G-Bass                  F#-Bass
   And old dear diary's never been a friend of mine
