Famous Groupies
Paul McCartney & Wings


C            Em    Am                  G
All stand back, let the people see
C           Em          Am                         G
Take a snap of the famous groupies for me

A  Dm
Be-hold the famous groupies

they are alike as two peas
                                E                    A7
And where the other goes, the other goes.
       Am
But though the famous groupies
      Bm            Em
are only paid in rupees
Am                                                           D
Nobody knows what the famous groupies know
       Am                                                      G
and nobody goes where the famous groupies go.

There was a bongo player
who kept an extra layer
of Dunlopillo mattress in his van.
But when the famous groupies
arrived with their twin snoopies
Nobody saw which way the poor boy ran
as nobody does it like a famous groupie can

All stand back, let the people see
Take a snap of the famous groupies for me

There was a lead guitarist
who lived in Epping Forest
and all he ever wanted was to blow.
But when the girls were with him
he never lost his rhythm
Nobody knows what the famous groupies know
and nobody goes where the famous groupies go.

C    Em    Am    G    C    Em    Am    G

There was the classic story
of a roadie nicknamed Rory
who used to practiced voodoo on the side
When the famous twosome
suggested something gruesome
All that they found was crater two miles wide
which left the music business absolutely horrified.

All stand back, let the people see
Take a snap of the famous groupies


Am (5 fret)      Am
Famous groupies, famous groupies
Am (5 fret)      Am
famous groupies, famous groupies (repeat ad lib with voice over)

(voice over)
Ladies and gentlemen, those magnificent examples of
female pulchritude and luminosity, direct from their
global perambulations to the very boards of this
supremely magnificent proscenium arch:
ladies and gentlemen--I give you...
Am           G
Famous groupies!
