just a D chord with E played instead of F#

Intro (main riff 4 times)

VERSE 1...
(main riff)
The boys are getting rowdy -
skies are getting cloudy -
and we're standing in the rain

(main riff)
My feet are getting wetter -
now I'm feeling better -
and we're all out of our brain

REFRAIN...
         Bm           A         G
There's another urban jungle on heat and
 Bm           A          G
another rebel out on the street
          Bm                A        G
You gotta watch yourself whoever you meet

(main riff)
'Cos she's little Sheila - she's right now -
(main riff)
She's little Sheila - Sheila's right now


VERSE 2...
(main riff)
Oh up and over under -
can you hear the thunder -
on the concrete avenue?

(main riff)
Pointed toe stilettos -
ringing in the ghettoes -
when the girls are on the loose

REFRAIN...
             Bm             A           G
There's some more commotion down on the street and
     Bm           A          G
some more emotion out in the heat
          Bm             A           G
You gotta watch yourself whoever you meet

(main riff)
'Cos she's little Sheila - she's right now -
(main riff)
She's little Sheila - Sheila's right now, yeah


BRIDGE...
               E   D A/C# A D A/C# A
Sheila's right now

Right now

C G/B G C G/B G
G A G/B A/C# ---> Main riff


VERSE 3...
(main riff)
The boys are getting meaner -
I ain't getting no cleaner -
See me standin' in the rain

(main riff)
I'm getting soaking wet -
and then I drop my cigarette -
and see it floating down the drain

REFRAIN...
         Bm           A         G
There's another urban jungle on heat and
 Bm           A          G
another rebel out on the street
          Bm                A        G
You gotta watch yourself whoever you meet

(main riff)
'Cos she's little Sheila - she's right now -

(main riff)
She's little Sheila - Sheila's right now, yeah.

(main riff)
She's little Sheila - she's right now, whoa

(main riff)
She's a Sheila - Sheila's right now, yeah

(main riff)
Right now. Sheila, Sheila, yeah

(main riff)
Sheila's right now - She's little Sheila, Sheila
