Neapolitan Girl

Chords

Standard

D
Through the rubble of the bombed out streets

Through the squalor and the poverty

Walks a proud Neapolitan girl

With a head of thick black curls
    Em      A          Em       A
She doesn't care 'bout right or wrong
     Em    A         Em          A      D
Just about where the next meal's coming from

D
Innocence can often be

Another one of war's casualties

But innocence can be restored

With a visit to the Professore
Em      A        Em   A
For ten thousand lire he
Em          A    Em     A
Can find mislaid virginity
          Bm       F#m    Bm       F#m
His dirty needle leaves a trail of scars
    Bm        F#m    E7          G      D
And keeps her at the peak of her sexual powers

D
She takes him riding on the 133

Through the city to the cemetery

Where the Neapolitan girls go

Down behind the headstones
       Em         A          Em      A
Oh the quickening breath and muffled cries
   Em       A     Em     A
As life and death become entwined
          Bm   F#m     Bm        F#m
Now baby, just pretend you don't see 'em
Bm      F#m    E7   G    D
Lusting in the mausoleum

D
Lola hhas a lover in the city bank

And Lola has a lover in the British ranks

Well Lola has them over in the middle of the day

Cause Lola makes the neighbours all jealous that way
    Em      A          Em       A
She doesn't care 'bout right or wrong
     Em    A         Em          A      D
Just about where the next meal's coming from
