Sheila Chords

[Chorus]
G                                Em
  Sheila goes out with her mate Stella,
                            D
It gets poured all over her fella
                                 C
'Cause she says, man he ain't no better
                             G
Than the next man kicking up fuss
                              Em
Drunk, she stumbles down by a river
                D
Screams calling London,
                     C
None of us heard her coming,
                                  G
I guess the carpet weren't rolled out
 
G Em D C x2
 
[Verse 1]
G
Her lingo went from the Cockney to the gringo
Em
Anytime she sing a song, the other girls sing along
D
And tell all the fellas that the lady is single
C
Fickle way to tickle on my young man's ting
G
She's up for doing what she like, any day more like the night
Em
She drowned, drunk sorrows that she stole, bought, borrowed
D
She didn't like fights, but at the same time understood
C
Fellas will be fellas 'til the end of time
 
G Em D C
 
[Verse 2]
G
Jack had a gang that he called 'The Many Grams'
Em
He was known as 'Smack Jack, the Cracker Man'
D
In life, he was dealt some shit hands
C
But the boys got the back now
G
And Jay went the same way as Mickey and Dan
Em
Dependent mans upon the heroins
D
And man, Lisa had a baby with Sam
C
And now Jack's on his own man
G
Well done, Jack, glug down that cider
Em
You're right, she's a slut and you never fucking liked her
D
Not like what, he stopped, so shocked
C
'Cause it turned out the last dance killed the pied piper
 
[Verse 3]
G
Tough little big man, friends with your daughters
Em
Only 'cause they drive him to pick up all his quarters
D
Crawler, lager lout brawlers, fall to the floor
C
Think they're free but they ain't near the border
G
Too young, gunned down by your hellfire corner
Em
Always did a favour but never took a order
D
Behave, young scallywag, a fine young Galahad
C
Glad ragged up, but only ever getting fag hags
G
Hung on his shoulder, cheap price shop tag
Em
Slag, better understand he came for the glamour
D
But this town's original, superficial the issue
C
For one dear Jack had thirty-five doppelgängers
 
[Chorus]
G                                Em
  Sheila goes out with her mate Stella,
                            D
It gets poured all over her fella
                                 C
'Cause she says, man he ain't no better
                             G
Than the next man kicking up fuss
                              Em
Drunk, she stumbles down by a river
                D
Screams calling London,
                     C
None of us heard her coming,
                                  G
I guess the carpet weren't rolled out
 
[Verse 4]
G
So this a short story about the girl Georgina
Em
Never seen a worse, clean young mess
D
Under stress at best, but she's pleased to see you
C
With love, God bless, we lay her body to rest
G
Now it all dear started with Daddy's alcoholic
Em
Light weight, chinking down, numbing his brain
D
And the doctor said he couldn't get the heart dear started
C
Now beat up, drugged up, she feeling the strain
G
She says, "In a rut, what the fuck I supposed to do?"
Em
Suck it up, start, stop, keep running through
D
True, but you try, it ain't easy to do
C
She been buckle-belt beaten from the back like a brat
G
Don't know where she's going, but she know where she at
Em
So Georgie, it's time to chain react
D
But the truth is, you know, she probably fought back
C
Tears stream down her face, she screamed away
G
"When I fall, no-one catch me
Em
Alone lonely, I'll overdose slowly
D
Get scared, I'll scream and shout"
C
But you know it won't matter, she'll be passing out
G
I say gigidy-bigidy-up just another day
Em
Another sad story, that's tragedy
D
Paramedic announced death at 10:30
C
Rip it up, kick it, to spit up the views

'Cause she says, man he ain't no better
                             G
Than the next man kicking up fuss
                              Em
Drunk, she stumbles down by a river
                D
Screams calling London,
                     C
None of us heard her coming,
