[Intro]
E   B   E   B
E   B   E   B

[Verse I]
E                 B
 She hides in the library reading
E                  B
 Henry Miller books
E                    B                   C#m  A
 Till they flash the lights it's time to go
E                      B
 When she was a little kid
          E                B
She said "Dad I don't know why
E          B           C#m   A
 I feel so pennyless inside"

[Chorus]
      G#m    F#m   B
She's on the promenade
      G#m     F#m   B
She's looking for a dress
      G#m       F#m    B
She's locked outside a world
       C#m        B
Just a Manchester girl

[Post-Chorus]
C#m       A
Oooh I'll meet you there
G#m              C#m
 By the old news stand
C#m       A                B    A
Oooh I'll meet you there tonight

[Instrumental]
C#m   A   B   A   E   B

[Verse II]
E                 B
 Shoot out at the neighbours' house
E                            B
 She pulls the covers on her head
E               B                C#m  A
 She counts the shots as they go by
E                     B
 And Pandora's litter box
E                         B
 Well it's getting mighty high
E                 B              C#m   A
 That cat's gonna keep her up at night

[Chorus]
 G#m    F#m   B
Another scary dream
 G#m    F#m  B
Another cigarette
      G#m       F#m    B
She's locked outside a world
       C#m        B
Just a Manchester girl

[Post-Chorus]
C#m       A
Oooh I'll meet you there
G#m              C#m
 By the old news stand
C#m       A                B    A
Oooh I'll meet you there tonight

[Outro]
C#m   A   G#m   C#m
C#m   A   B     A
E     C#m
