Paddy Roberts - The Ballad Of Bethnal Green Chords

[Opening]
[D] [G]
I tell the tale of a [C]jealous [D]male and a [C]maid of
Sweet [D]six[G]teen,
She was blonde and dumb and she [C]lived with her [D]mum
On the [C]fringe of Beth[D]nal [G]Green.
She [A]worked all week for a rich old Greek
For her [G]dad was on the [D]dole,
And her [G]one delight was a [C]Friday [D]night
When she [C]had a little rock [D]and [G]roll.

[chorus]
To my ritfallal, to my [C]titty fal [D]lal,
To my [C]itty bitty fal [D]dal [G]day.

[verse 2]
Then [G]one fine day in the [C]month of [D]May
she [C]found her Big [D]ro[G]mance.
He was dark and sleek with a [C]scar on his [D]cheek
and a [C]pair of drain[D]pipe [G]pants.
And she [A]thought, “With you, I could be so true through all the years to [D]come.”
For she [G]loved the gay ab[C]andoned [D]way
He [C]chewed his chew[D]ing [G]gum.

[chorus]
To my ritfallal, to my [C]titty fal [D]lal,
To my [C]itty bitty fal [D]dal [G]day.

[verse 3]
It started well be[C]cause he [D]fell for [C]all her girlish [G]charms
But he had some doubt when he [C]caught her [D]out
In [C]someone els[D]e’s [G]arms.
He [A]said, “Look here, you know, my dear, this is [G]going a bit too [D]far.”
Then he [G]went quite white and he [C]sloshed her [D]right
In the [C]middle of her cha[D]cha[G]cha.

[Closing]
He went before a [C]man of the [D]law who [C]said, “This will [D]not [G]do!
I’ve had enough of the [C]sort of [D]stuff I [C]get from
The likes [D]of [G]you!”
And [A]was she peeved when he received a [G]longish term in [D]clink?
In a [G]fit of pique, she [C]married the [D]Greek
and [C]now she’s dressed [D]in [G]mink!

[chorus]
To my ritfallal, to my [C]titty fal [D]lal, to my [C]itty bitty fal [D]dal [G]day.
