Chelsea Dagger Tab

by The Fratellis


This is more like Jon's acoustic version (have a look an YouTube to find the one I 
Not sure it's 100%, some will argue that some of the D chords are actually A7, but I like it.

Intro (listen to record for timing)

G (play with fingers 2, 3 and 4, and use 1st finger to hammer on D-string, 2nd fret)
D (either play with fingers 2, 3 and 4 and use 1st finger to hammer on A-straing 2nd 
or fret as normal and use thumb to hammer on same)

				                                 
Well you must be a girl with shoes like that
She said you know me well
                                  
I seen you and little Steven and Joanna
                                     
Round the back of my hotel

Someone said you was asking after me

But I know you best as a blagger
                                
I said tell me your name is it sweet?
                                     
She said my boy it's dagger

G (play same as intro)
I was good she was hot
Stealin' everything she got
I was bold she was over the worst of it

D (play same as intro)
Gave me gear thank you dear bring yer sister over here
Let her dance with me just for the hell of it

				                                       
Well you must be a boy with bones like that
She said you got me wrong
            
I would've sold them to you
               		                                         
If I could've just have kept the last of my clothes on

Call me up take me down with you
	              
When you go, I could be your regular belle
                                       
And I'll dance for little Steven and Joanna
                                        
Round the back of my hotel


G (play same as intro)
I was good she was hot
Stealin everything she got
I was bold she was over the worst of it
D (play same as intro)
Gave me gear thank you dear bring yer sister over here
Let her dance with me just for the hell of it

G (slight palm-mute, again listen to record for timing)


                                         
Chelsea Chelsea I believe, that when your dancing
                      
Slowly sucking your sleeve
                              
The boys get lonely after you leave

                                                     
It's one for the Dagger and another for the one you believe!
