Does anyone have the tab and lyrics for Polythene Pam from the Abbey Road
album?
Cheers, Stephen Eglen.
Come on, man. DAE!
Come on, man, yourself; cut the guy some slack. The lyrics aren't
exactly a breeze for anyone outside of the UK (not even sure I've got
'em right), and there's a little more than DAE here.
According to _Beatles Complete_ (Hal Leonard publishing, 1987 - a most
questionable source):
POLYTHENE PAM
(The Beatles)
D/E A E (x 2)
[E] Well, you should [D]see [A]Polythene [E]Pam
She's so good l[D]ooking but she [A]looks like a [E]man
Well, you should se[G]e her in drag, dressed in her [B]polythene bag
Yes, you should [C]see [D]Polythene [E]Pam.
[C]Yeah, [D]yeah, [E]yeah
D/E A E (x 2)
Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt
She's killer diller when she's dressed to the hilt
She's the kind of a girl that makes the _News of the World_
Yes, you could say she was attractively built.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
D/E A E (x2)
D A E (x 9?)
(Geez, while I'm at it, here's She Came in through the Bathroom Window.
[A] She came in through the bathroom [D]window
[A] protected [F#m]by a silver [D]spoon
[A] But now she [F#m]sucks her thumb and [D]wonders
by the [D7]banks of her own lagoon[A]
[(A)]Didn't anybody tell[Dm] her?
[A]Didn't anybody see?[Dm]
[G7]Sunday's on the phone to [C]Monday
G7 C (go to 2/4 for the C)
Tuesday's on the phone to me
She said she'd always been a dancer
Worked in fifteen clubs a day
And though I thought I knew the answer
Well, I knew but I could not say
So I quit the police department
and got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
she could steal but she could not rob
