Allo Darlin'

A Very Cherry Christmas

Europe

Allo Darlin' are many things. They can turn a room in a famous punk venue into a joyous, jumping, sweaty, pop-mosh pit. Or bring a room of 500 to hushed silence with the few strums of a ukulele and a love song about cooking. They're close friends that found each other and the music they make in London. Elizabeth and Bill are from Australia, Mike and Paul are from Kent. They've only been playing seriously as a band since January 2009, although Elizabeth has been releasing music under various guises since 2007.  

F                                                       Dm
As I am preparing myself to say farewell to my pride again
F                               Dm
I remember how it was back then:
F                                                                Dm                                          Bb
Id see you light a cigarette, and then you'd ask me to pass your asthma inhaler.
                                                             Dm
I'd say 'Don't you ever think about cancer?'
                   Bb                                                Dm             C                   Bb
You'd say 'Baby, you don't know but my heart is as strong as a drummer?
      Dm               C                   F
'My heart is as strong as a drummer'

F                                                                   Dm
You make me feel like apologising for being like this:
                 F                                         Dm
do I have to, say I'm sorry for my happiness?
F                                                                         Dm                                                                       
You see it's like loving 'Graceland', it's not allowed to be but we know it's 
Bb
everybody's favourite
                                Dm                                                 Bb
deep down in the place where, music makes you happiest.
           Dm                       C              Bb
In the place where my heart is a drummer,
           Dm                       C                F
in the place where my heart is a drummer.

                             Bb                                                 Dm
...and when you call me, on the telephone my fingers will twist through the cord
             Bb                              
and I'll slide my feet up and down the wall,
             Dm                   C                      Bb
...but I know that I'm stronger than you are
             Dm                   C                      F
...but I know that I'm stronger than you are

F Dm F Dm 
Bb Dm C Bb Dm C


                              Bb                                               Dm
...and when you call me, on the telephone my fingers will still twist through the cord
              Bb                                               
and I'll slide my feet up and down the wall, 
            Dm                   C                       Bb

   When my baby kisses me
          D          G
it's like honey to the bee 
            B             Em
and when my baby holds my hand

          B                  Em    D
          baby is a punk rocker

But in my head you're Patrick Swayze
you grab me from the corner and call me baby
but baby you don't even want to see Dirty Dancing
baby is a punk rocker

I like to learn about the things that really matter to my baby
Black Flag and Fugazi
Bad Religion and Misfits are great
but can we go where only eagles dare (go where eagles dare)
Henry Rollins don't dance
Ian MacKaye doesn't dance

But in my head we're Danny and Sandy
you spin me round your waist and I get the perfect landing
but baby you don't even like the Grease mega mix
woah oh oh baby is a punk rocker

F            E                   D
Last night I dreamt that we took Henry to a disco
       F            E         G
and at first he was very very angry
       F              E           D
and he went up to the DJ and said play some Abba dude
            F               E                G
and then he raised his tiny fist to "Dancing Queen"
   F               E                D
he raised his tiny fist to "Dancing Queen"

When my baby kisses me
it's like honey to the bee
and when my baby holds my hand
it's like heaven on land
but baby don't dance no no, no
baby is a punk rocker

You're the one that I want (you are the one I want) Ooh ooh ooh
You're the one that I want (you are the one I want) Ooh ooh ooh
You're the one that I want (you are the one I want) Ooh ooh ooh
You're all I need, oh yes indeed

VERSE 1
G D Am
On a drive from St Lucia to Surfers in my old university car
 Em G
We had the windows down for our aircon, the door was so hot that you burned your arm
 D Am
It was the tail and of a summer and the heat washed in with the breeze
 Em
And you were searching something to sing to 
 G D
As the radio played, another terrible song
 Am Em
But lucky for me, you found the tape with Tallulah on
CHORUS
 G D
And it's been a long time, since I've seen all my old friends
 Am Em
But I really love my new friends, I feel I've known them a long while
VERSE 2
G D Am 
Then last summer you wrote me a letter, on the back of a surf magazine
 Em G 
You said you didn't have any paper, maybe you wondered what could have been
 D Am 
So I sent you a postcard from Berlin of a fat man eating a sausage
 Em
It hid the fact that I was hiding
 G D
As the DJ played another terrible song
 Am Em
But lucky for us, we found a bar with The Maytals on
CHORUS
MIDDLE
G D Am Em
I'm wondering if I've already heard all the songs that'll mean something
 G D Am Em 
And I'm wondering if I've already met all the people that'll mean something
G D Am Em
VERSE 3
G D Am 
But I ﬁnd myself daydreaming of the places where we used to stay
 Em
Used to brush them away
G D Am
St Kilda, Coolangatta, Bondi Beach & Coogee Bay
 Em
I like the sound of their names
 G D
And I wonder if you would wanna go there with me
 Am Em
When I'm ﬁnished over here if you're not ﬁnished with me 
 G D
And I wonder if you would wanna go there with me
 Am Em
When I'm ﬁnished over here if you're not ﬁnished with me 
 G D
And I wonder if you would wanna go there with me
 Am Em G
When I'm ﬁnished over here if you're not ﬁnished with me

There's so much craziness surrounding me
                F	 	             G		            
There's so much going on it gets hard to breathe

             C	             Am		
When I'm not sure of my priorities
               F	 	             G		
When I've lost sight of where I meant to be

I'm full of arrogance and uncertainty
     Am      F				                          C
When I can't find the words you teach my heart to speak

G                                    F              C
    You got to be the only one who knows just who I am
Em                                    F	
    You’re shining in the distance I hope I can make it through
           D	                              G                                    
Cause the only place that I want to be is right back home with you 


Verse 3:
                 C	             Am		
I guess there's so much more I have to learn
               F	 	                       G		
But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn

School Friends

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own

             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me

       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

It Ain't Me

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
