Song For Whoever Chords & Tabs

by The Beautiful South

[Verse 1]
C#m         F#m             D             E  
I love you from the bottom, of my pencil case
C#m       F#m             D           E  
I love you in the songs, I write and sing
           F#m         D                       E 
Love you because, you put me in my rightful place
C#m            F#m        D           E  
And I love the PRS checks, that you bring

[Pre-Chorus]
  A            E  
Cheap, never cheap
      Bm                    E          
I'll sing the songs 'till you're asleep
 E                F#m               
When you've gone upstairs I'll creep
      D           E              
And write it all down, down, down

[Chorus]
      A          F#m         D        E  
Oh Shirley, Oh Deborah, Oh Julie, Oh Jane
                 F#m           
I wrote so many songs about you
D              E                       
I forget your name (I forget your name)
  A                   F#m           D                E                      
Jennifer, Allison, Philippa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too (I forget your name)
  A                   F#m           D                E 
Jennifer, Allison, Philippa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too
               C#m
I forget your name

[Verse 2]
C#m         F#m             D            E  
I love you from the bottom of my pencil case
C#m       F#m           D        E 
I love the way you never ask me why
                 F#m          D             E  
I love to write about each wrinkle on your face
C#m             F#m             D          E 
And I love you 'till my fountain pen runs dry

[Pre-Chorus]
 A       E   
Deep so deep,
     Bm        E             
The number one I hope to reap
  C#m             F#m           
Depends upon the tears you weep,
    D          E          
So cry lover cry, cry, cry

[Chorus]
     A        F#m          D          E 
Oh Cathy, Oh Alison, Oh Philippa, Oh Sue
           F#m            
You made me so much money,
    D                  E 
I wrote this song for you
  A                  F#m             D               E 
Jennifer, Allison, Philippa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too

[Outro]
                      A           F#m 
So let me talk about Mary, a sad story
  D                     E  
Turned her grief into glory
                      A           F#m 
So let me talk about Mary, a sad story
  D                     E  
Turned her grief into glory
 A                       F#m          
Late at night, by the typewriter light
      D                    E   
She ripped his ribbon to shreds
 A                       F#m          
Late at night, by the typewriter light
      D                    E   
She ripped his ribbon to shreds
                      A           F#m 
So let me talk about Mary, a sad story
  D                     E  
Turned her grief into glory
                      A           F#m 
So let me talk about Mary, a sad story
  D                     E  
Turned her grief into glory
 A                       F#m          
Late at night, by the typewriter light
      D                    E   
She ripped his ribbon to shreds
 A                       F#m          
Late at night, by the typewriter light
      D                    E   
She ripped his ribbon to shreds
