9. Do you know me

Intro Dm F C

Dm F C Dm F C

Do you know me? I don't think so!

Do you know me? I don't think so!

You romanticize the dark and gloomy past

Trying to escape from the underclass

You darkened the bright and beautiful day

You're breaking my heart in every way

Gm A

And tell me everything is dandy and fine

You're no friend of mine

Dm F C

I took you in and you stole from me

But you still got everything I need

You're walking so tall, you're looking so mean

You're walking so tall, you're looking so mean

But you tell me everything is dandy and fine

You're no friend of mine

(I've heard a few versions where they put in another verse here but I can't

remember the lyrics. Sometimes they play it without the extra verse.)

Do you know me? I don't think so!

Do you know me? I don't think so!

You romanticize the dark and gloomy past

Trying to escape from the upper class

You darkened the bright and beautiful day

You're fucking up my head in every way

And tell me everything's dandy and fine

You're no friend of mine

A C#m

My oh you did look dapper in famous aunty aurthurs trousers on

Slapped by that slappeer and how we all laughed

(But you laughed the loudest in 99)

you could charm the **** knees of the bees

And "saucy" you'd say and we all fell around,

rolling round the playground,

"cheeky" you'd say and we all fell around,

rolling round the playground

E

All the boys together

All the girls together now

A E D A

Shes the last of the English roses

Shes the last of the English roses

Round the snooker table she danced frutti tutti

then thy spilt the lager toasting to girls of great beauty

she knows her faralis from her paradas of her kappas from her reebok

of her Rodney for her stanley of her milado from her taste
