Deacon Blue: Chocolate Girl
Standard tuning, no capo
It's not exactly like the orginal song but still sounds pretty good I think. I like to
vary the A# Dm C at the end of a lot of the lines just so it doesn't sound too repetitive, for example
skipping the A# or carrying the A# over for longer hence skipping the Dm
Verse:
F A# Dm C
Alan doesn't understand her
F A# Dm C
He only thinks in numbers
Am Dm
He only drinks in restaurants
A# C
Where the girls are fully covered
F A# Dm C
And he can't trust his yearnings
F A# Dm C
And he doesn't like pretending
Am Dm
His tempers stretched so much by work
A# C
His heart needs gentle rending
Chorus:
A# C A# Dm C
He calls her the chocolate girl
Am Dm A# Dm C
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
A# C A# Dm C
She knows she's the chocolate girl
Am Dm
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
A# C
And wrapped in bits of silver
Verse:
F A# Dm C
Alan doesn't understand this
F A# Dm C
He says he's only human
Am Dm
So he still lights up with old flames
A# C
As if to try and prove it
F A# Dm C
And he doesn't like emotion
F A# Dm C
He's not certain of their ardour
Am Dm
If pouting carries so much fun
A# C
Then breaking hearts is harder
Chorus:
A# C A# Dm C
He calls her the chocolate girl
Am Dm A# Dm C
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
A# C A# Dm C
She knows she's the chocolate girl
Am Dm
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
A# C
And wrapped in bits of silver
Verse:
F A# Dm C
Alan doesn't understand her
F A# Dm C
He thinks it's getting harder
Am Dm
So he spends the night with old friends
A# C
Underneath the covers
Chorus:
A# C A# Dm C
He calls her the chocolate girl
Am Dm A# Dm C
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
A# C A# Dm C
She knows she's the chocolate girl
Am Dm
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
