Local Girls

pre>intro  d	 bm	 g (three times)  then	 g	 a



B			 e

Sit by my window and look outside

A				  g#m	e

Wonder why a sun don't shine on me

B				e

What's wrong with you, you stupid child

A					   g#m	     c#

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

F#				 b

Don't talk too much cause she falls for the soft touch

D				  e

Makes her feel everything is secure

G	     a		      d

Don't ever leave a footprint on the floor





Chorus

D			   bm	g

Don't bother with the local girls

D			    bm	 g

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

D			    e

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))
