If you lay your hands on an Auteurs chord or tab other than the ones I've

SHOWGIRL

by Luke Haines (The Auteurs)
From the album New Wave


(Intro: Same chords as for the verse)

A          Abm             C#m
I took a showgirl for my bride  (Silent)
A          Abm            F#m    D
Thought my life would be right
A         Abm             C#m
Took her bowling got her high
F#m                     B
Got myself a showgirl bride

Took a job on the side
In a health shop keeps me well
Got my mantra for life
Got my karma
And a showgirl bride

Bm   A  E
All my life
D    A   E
All her life
Bm   A   E
All our life
D            D/C#                E
I married a showgirl that's for life
D            D/C#                E
I married a showgirl that's for life

She can't work in the wintertime
I can't work anytime now
Go to libraries all the while
Looking for a notice
Bide my time

All my life
All her life
All our life
I married a showgirl that's for life
I married a showgirl that's for life

I took a showgirl for my bride (Silence)
Sprinkled stardust on my wife
Took her bowling got her high
Got myself a showgirl bride
Got myself a showgirl bride  (Just keep on playing F#m B...)
Don't you recognize us?
Don't you recognize us?
