NOTE:
The original record is sharp of standard pitch.
Use a chromatic tuner, and tune-up all the strings
approx. +30 above standard tuning. Alternatively,
play along with a live version, which is more likely
to be in correct standard pitch.
 
CAPO:2nd fret
(Will then sound in the recorded approx. key of B)

[Verse 1]
D7/F#    D7       A *              E/G#
       I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste,
  F#m            F#m7/E
A flannel for my face,
B7/D#                     Dm7
Pyjamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case,
  Am7
I said to my reflection,
           Em7                 F/G
"Let's get out of this place-------!"
G   C        D
    Past the church and the steeple,
    F
The laundry on the hill,
A
Billboards and the buildings,
G/D            Gaug/D#    Am7/E       D
Memories of it still keep calling and calling,
          Am/E       F7/D#          D     D/C
But for - get it all,   ...I know I will
 
[Chorus 1]
A              A/G          D/F#     D
Tempted by the fruit of a - nother,
A                A/G            D/F#     D
Tempted, but the truth is dis - covered,
            B7
What's been going on,
             Bm7/E         E7            A      A/G
And now that you have gone ...there's no other,
D/F#           D            A        A/G
Tempted by the fruit of a - nother,
D/F#             D              Bm
Tempted, but the truth is dis - covered

Dm Dsus2 Dm     Dsus4  A *           E/G#
            I'm at the car park, the airport,
    F#m             F#m7/E
The baggage carou - sel,
    B7/D#                        Dm7
The people keep on crowding, I'm wishing I was well,
  Am7
I said,  "It's no occasion,
        Em7                 F/G
It's no story I can tell!"
G  C     D7
   At my bedside, empty pocket, 
  F
A foot without a sock,
     A                        G/D            Gaug/D#
Your body gets much closer, I fumble for the clock,
    Am7/E              D
A - larmed by the se - duction,
  Am7/E  F7/D#                D      D/C
I wish       ...that it would stop
 
[Chorus 2]
A              A/G          D/F#     D
Tempted by the fruit of a - nother,
A                A/G            D/F#     D
Tempted, but the truth is dis - covered,
            B7
What's been going on,
             Bm7/E         E7            A      A/G
And now that you have gone ...there's no other,
D/F#           D            A        A/G
Tempted by the fruit of a - nother,

Tempted, but the truth is dis - covered

Dm Dsus2 Dm    Dsus4    A *         E/G#
             I bought a novel, some perfume,
  F#m             F#m7/E   B7/D#
A fortune all for you,
                                Dm7
But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue,
  Am7
I asked of my reflection,
          Em7                  F/G    G C
"Tell me, what is there to do-----?"
