You need to capo the third fret, then play the chords as if this were
the original fret (ie so where I write Em you get Gm)

This is the intro:

Em, A, Em, A, Em, A, Em, Em, Em

                                  G
Sunbeam shone, mousy girl on the end pew

            Em                  Bm
You'd stay home oh if only I'd let you

      Am                 Em   A, Em, A, Em A, Em, Em, Em
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie

                                      G
Municipal pool, you're a junior life saver

          Em                       Bm
And your friends are all serious ravers

      Am                D
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie

              Em
Reading Judy Blume

                  A
But you came too soon

            Em                        G
You're too tall, much too tall for a boyfriend

              Em                             Bm
They run and hide, from your buckteeth and split ends

           Am                        D
Don't be scared of the books you've read

                Em                   A
You're the heroine, you'll be doing fine


              C
Wouldn't you like to get away?

                G
Bestowing the memory of good and evil

 D
On the ones you left behind

Em
        The heartless swine

A, Em, A, Em, A, Em, Em, Em

                             G
And you love like nobody around you

         Em                  Bm
How you love, and a halo surrounds you

      Am                D
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie

                Em                  A
In the Autumn cool say cheerio to school

        Em                              G
Listen Dear, I've been watching you lately

      Em                              Bm
If I said all these things you would hate me

      Am                D
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie

                Em                       A
At the Church bazaar  I nearly went too far


               C
Wouldn't you like to get away

            G
Kerouac's beckoning with open arms

     D                          Em
And open fields of eucalyptus  westward bound

               C
Wouldn't you like to get away

              G
Give yourself up to the allure of

        D
Catcher In The Rye

                         Em
The future's swathed in Stars and Stripes


-----Last two choruses X 2


End : Em, A, Em, A, Em, A, Em, Em
