Alright. I absolutely love the Dukes of Stratosphear, so I just decided to try and play this  
amazing track for a bit, and I believe this sounds about right. Hope y'all enjoy. (If I'm wrong  
at any part, feel free to correct me.) 

verse 1 
A                  D  
Someone's knocking in the distance 
A                  E 
But I'm deaf and blind 
A                  D 
She's not expected home this evening 
     A                E 
So I leave the world behind 

                  F#m       A 
For the vanishing girl 
               F#m        E 
The vanishing girl 
                      F#m      A 
Yes she'd give you a twirl 
                  F#m 
But she vanishes from my world 
    G                         D 
So burn my letters and you'd better leave 
                 A 
Just one pint a day 
     G 
The whole street's talking about my 
D                       A 
White shirts looking so grey 

verse 2 
A             D 
People gossip on the doorstep 
A                    E 
Think they know the score 
A                     D 
She's giving him the runaround 
A                     E 
The man from number four 

Chorus 
                 F#m        A 
Has a vanishing girl 
             F#m    E 
A vanishing girl 
                      F#m      A 
Yes she'd give you a twirl 
                  F#m 
But she vanishes from my world 
         G       
Yes the paint is peeling and my 
D               A 
Garden is overgrown 
  G                 D                    A 
I got no enthusiasm to even answer the phone 

verse 3 

A                     D              A 
When she's here it makes up for the time she's 
              E 
Not and it's all forgotten 
A                      D              D  E E A 
But when she goes I'm putting on the pose  

Chorus 
             
                 F#m        A 
For the vanishing girl 
             F#m    E 
The vanishing girl 
                      F#m      A 
Yes she'd give you a twirl 
                  F#m 
But she vanishes from my world so 
    G                         D 
So burn my letters and you'd better leave 
                 A 
Just one pint a day (The vanishing girl) 
     G 
The whole street's talking about my 
D                       A 
White shirts looking so grey   
                G    D   A      A  D
