Come on, man. DAE!
Come on, man, yourself; cut the guy some slack. The lyrics aren't exactly a breeze for anyone outside of the UK (not even sure I've got 'em right), and there's a little more than DAE here.
According to _Beatles Complete_ (Hal Leonard publishing, 1987 - a most questionable source):
POLYTHENE PAM (The Beatles) D/E A E (x 2) E D A E Well, you should see Polythene Pam D A E She's so good looking but she looks like a man G B Well, you should see her in drag, dressed in her polythene bag C D E Yes, you should see Polythene Pam. C D E Yeah, yeah, yeah
D/E A E (x 2)
Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt She's killer diller when she's dressed to the hilt She's the kind of a girl that makes the _News of the World_ Yes, you could say she was attractively built. Yeah, yeah, yeah
D/E A E (x2) D A E (x 9?)
[Geez, while I'm at it, here's She Came in through the Bathroom Window. Same source:] ltrics corrected by Charlie_Gibbs@mindlink.bc.ca
A D She came in through the bathroom window A F#m D protected by a silver spoon A F#m D But now she sucks her thumb and wonders D7 A by the banks of her own lagoon
(A) Dm Didn't anybody tell her? A Dm Didn't anybody see? G7 C Sunday's on the phone to Monday G7 C (go to 2/4 for the C) Tuesday's on the phone to me
She said she'd always been a dancer Worked in fifteen clubs a day And though I thought I knew the answer Well, I knew but I could not say
So I quit the police department and got myself a steady job And though she tried her best to help me she could steal but she could not rob
Chorus
[Hope this isn't too far wrong]
