Chris De Burgh - Patricia The Stripper Chords

Capo 5

C E7
Dennis is a menace with his 'anyone for tennis?'
Am C7
and beseeching me to come and keep the score.
F Fm
And Maud says, 'Oh Lord, I'm so terribly bored.
C Am D7 
I really can't stand it anymore.'

G7 C E7
I'm going out to dinner with a gorgeous singer
Am C7
to a little place I found down by the quay,
F Fm
her name is Patricia, she calls herself Delicia,
C Am D7 G
and the reason isn't very hard to see.

C E7
She says 'God made her a sinner just to keep fat man thinner,
Am C7
as they tumble down in heaps before her feet.
F Fm
They hang around in groups like battle weary troops,
C Am D7 G
one can often see them queue right down the street.

F E7
You see, Patricia (or Delicia) not only is a singer,
Am D7 G7
she also removes all her clothing - - -
F G C F C
for Patricia is the best stripper in to....wn.

G7 C A7
And with a swing of her hips she started to strip,
Dm G7
to tremendous applause she took of her drawers,
C A7
and with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips,
Dm G
and threw it all in the air, everybody stared !
F E7
And as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor,
C A7
the police were banging on the door,
Dm G C F
on a Saturday night in nineteen-twenty- f...our.

C G
Take it away boys!

C A7 Dm G7 C A7 Dm G C

G7 C E7
But poor Patricia was arrested and everyone detested
Am C7
the manner in which she was exposed.
F Fm
Later on in court, well, everybody thought
C Am D G
a summer run in jail would be proposed.

F E7
But the judge said, ?Patricia, or may I say Delicia,
Am D7 G7 
the facts of this case lie before me. Case dismissed !
F G C F C
This girl was in her working clo.....thes !!?

G7 C A7
And with a swing of her hips she started to strip,
Dm G7
to tremendous applause she took of her drawers,
C A7
and with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips,
Dm G
and threw it all in the air, and everybody stared !
F E7
And as the last piece of clothing fell on the floor,
C A7
the police were yelling out the door,
Dm G C A7
on a Saturday night in nineteen-twenty- f...our.

Dm G7 C F C
On a Saturday night in nineteen-twenty-four. Oh yeah !
