Strum
D-DU-UDU
 She's not  a girl  who misses  much  Du du du du du du  Oh yeah
 She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
  like a lizard on a window  pane The
man  in the crowd with the multicolored mirrors on his hobnail  boots
Lying  with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime
 A soap impression of his wife which he ate and donated to the national  trust
 double tempo, 3/4 time, "-" equals one measure
I  need a fix 'cause I'm goin' down, down to the bits that I left up town
I  need a fix 'cause I'm goin' down.
Mother  Superior jump  the gun, Mother  Superior jump  the gun. (3X)
 half tempo, still 3/4 time, lyrics in () are spoken, with "oo" etc in back
 Happiness  is a warm  gun  Happiness  is a warm  gun, mama
(When  I hold  you  in my arms  And I feel  my finger  on your trigger  I
know  nobody  can do me no  harm, because)
 Happiness is a warm gun mama, etc, blah, blah (same chords, C Am F G7)
