B e
Sit by my window and look outside

Wonder why a sun don't shine on me

What's wrong with you, you stupid child

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

Makes her feel everything is secure

Don't ever leave a footprint on the floor

Don't bother with the local girls

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

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))
