The Stranglers - Ugly

      
 
 UGLY
 ----               
 intro: B A E A (x6)
 
              B   A E A 
 I could have read
         B    A E A 
 A poem called
    B    A E A 
 Ozymandias
          B   A E A 
 To her instead
                B    A E A 
 I live for the moment
          B    A E A 
 It was a futile
         B   A E A 
 Gesture anyway
       B   A E A 
 I was here
             B   A E A 
 And she was here
             B  A E A 
 And being broad
             B   A E A 
 Of mind and hips
             B  A E A 
 We did the only
             B A E A 
 Thing possible
 
 E D C#5/E D (x2)
 
 E         D              C#5/E            D        
 I guess I shouldn't have strangled her to death but
 E        D             C#5/E             D          
 I had to go to work and she had laced my coffee with
 E   D C#5/E D 
 acid!
 
 E D C#5/E D (x8, keyboard solo enters 3rd time)
 
 E    D      C#5/E         D     
 Normally, I wouldn't have minded
 E         D         C#5/E     D   
 But I'm allergic to sulphuric acid
 E     D  C#5/E     D 
 Besides, she had acne
 E                 D   
 And if you've got acne
 C#5/E     D           E  D           C#5/E  D 
 Well, I apologise for disliking it intensely
               E              D           C#5/E    D        
 But it's understandable that ugly people have got complexes
 E         D      C#5/E     D           E              D   C#5/E D 
 I mean it seems to me that ugly people don't have a chance
 
 E D C#5/E D

 E (N.C.)
 It's only the children or the f**king wealthy who tend be good looking!
 
 B A E A (x2)
 
         B   A E A 
 An ugly fart
            B      A    E A 
 Attracts a good looking
 B            A      E  A 
 Chick if he's got money
 
 (repeat the above three times)
 
 repeat chords of B A E A (x17)
 
 It's different for jews somehow
 I'd like to see...a passionate...film between...the two ugliest
 People in the world...when I say ugly...I don't mean rough looking
 I mean hideous...don't tell me that...aesthetics are...subjective you
 Just know the truth...when you see it...whatever it is...

 A5 G5 ... D5 C5
 Mus - cle ... pow - er! (x4)
 
 end on C5.
