Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Steppin' out to Angellucci's,  for my coffee beans
 checking out the movies,  and the magazines
 waitress she watches  me,  crossing from the Barocco bar
 I'm getting a pickup,  for my steel  guitar
  I saw you walking  out,  Shaftsbury Avenue
 excuse me talking,  I wanna  marry you
 this is seventh  heaven street to me,  don't you be so proud
 You're just another angel,  in the crowd.
  And I'm  walking in the  wild west  end
   Walking in the  wild west  end
   Walking with your  wild best  friend
 And my conductress on the number nineteen, she was a honey
 pink toenails and hands all dirty with the money
 greasy greasy greasy hair, easy smile
 made me feel nineteen, for awhile
 and I went down to Chinatown
 in the backroom it's a man's world, all the money go down
 Duck inside the doorway, gotta duck to eat
 right now feels all right now, you and me we can't beat walking -
 And a gogo, dancing girl, yes I saw her
 the deejay, he say, here's Mandy for ya
 I fell all right to see her, but she's paid to do that stuff
 She's dancing high, I move on by, the close ups can get rough
 when you're walking in the wild west end . . .
