Tuning:
This is just the way I play it. Maybe not 100% correct.
Chords with ~ beside them should be played at a higher octave than indicated.
Riff [It was taking far too long to put all the chords in for the chorus
and they wouldn't fit with the lyrics so just play this repeatedly when
there's one of these [*], until it says otherwise! Listen to the song to
get the timing, it's easy enough. Sorry, I'm just lazy boned.]

E A G x4
Verse 1:
Arabella's got some Einterstellargator skin boots A
And a Ghelter skelter round her Elittle finger and I ride it endlessly A G

And when she Gneeds to shelter from rEeality
She takes a dip in my daydrAeams G D5 E5
Chorus [1 Strum for each chord]:
My days end best when A5the sunset gets G5itselD5f bE5ehind
That little A5lady sitting G5on the paD5ssenE5ger side
It's much less A5picturesque withG5out her catchiD5ng E5the light
A5 G5 *
The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes

E A G x2
Verse 2:
AraEbella's got a 70's head A
