The Last Of The English Roses

• C#m

I've heard a few different sets of lyrics for this, but these seem to be the most common 
best!).
Actually the more live versions i watch, it appears Pete just picks verses
at random. Still, sounds good one way or another:

Intro:
C#m A C#m A E

Verse:
      C#m                A                           C#m
Oh my you did look dapper in your mothers old green scarf
                   A                      C#m
with your famous Aunty, Arthurs trousers on
                     A                      C#m
Got slapped by that slapper and we all laughed
                A              E
But she laughed the loudest in 93
 C#m             A                    C#m                     
      A
"Saucy" you'd say and we all fell around, rolling 'round the playground,
C#m              A                   C#m                      
      A
"Cheeky" you'd say and we all fell around, rolling 'round the playground.
E
In 94

Bridge:
E
Charm the bees knees off the bees

Skipping and dancing hand in hand

pre-chorus
  D                            E
Yeah it was all the boys together
D                        E
and all the girls together

Chorus
 A              E         D     A
She's the last of the english ro-oses

 A              E         D     A
She's the last of the english ro-oses

Verse:
  C#m                         A                                C#m
She knows her Rodneys from her Stanleys and her Kappas from her Reebok
                         A                           C#m
And her tit from her tat and her Winstons from her Enoks
                         A                          C#m
And round the Snooker table she danced the Frutti-Tutti
                           A                                 C#m
And she almost spilled her lager toasting girls of great beauty

Bridge:
E
2009 comin of age, comin alive

pre-chorus
  D                            E
Yeah it was all the boys together
D                        E
and all the girls together

Chorus
 A              E         D     A
She's the last of the english ro-oses

 A              E         D     A
She's the last of the english ro-oses

Thats it!
