          Am 
In their eyes is the place that you finally discovered 
          F 
That you love it here, you've got to stay 
        Dm 
On the bottom of the rock, an island 
                       Am               
On which you find you love it when you twitch 
                            F 
You feel that itch in you pettycoat 
               Dm    
Your pretty pretty pettycoat 
 
 
 
           Am            
Then you smiled, he got wild 
                                     F 
You didn't understand that there's money to be made 
                       Dm   
Beauty is a card that must get played 
      G 
By organisation 
 
 
   Am   F                   G           Dm 
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me 
  F     Am                  G                 Dm 
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out 
  F     Am                  G           Dm 
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me 
F       Am                  G           Dm 
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out 
 
 
 
The world can be a very big place 
 
So be yourself don't get out of place 
 
Love your man and love him twice 
 
Go to Hollywood and pay the price 
 
Oh go to Hollywood 
 
 
 
And don't be a star, it's such a drag 
 
Take care of yourself, don't begin to lag 
 
It's a hard life to live, so live it well 
 
I'll be your friend and not in pretend 
 
I know you girl 
 
In all situations

Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty 
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pettycoat 
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty 
Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pettycoat 
In all situations

Am  F  G Dm   F  Am  G Dm   F  Am  G   Dm  F  Am  Dm
