Belladonna's [Eb] on the high street, [Bb]
breast up [Eb] on the offbeat
[Bb] And the stalls are just [Eb] the sideshows, [Bb]
[Eb] Victoriana's old [Bb] dolls
Yeah, she got the [Eb] skirt so tight now, [Bb]
she wanna travel [Eb] light now
[Bb] She wanna turn up all her [Eb] roots now, [Bb]
she got that turn up [Eb] on her boots now
[Bb]
[Eb] She thinks she's tough, she ain't no [Bb] English woman
[Eb] Blinding, singing, he's singing now, [Bb] Fanny knows
Do [Fm] a song [Eb] about a long gone [Bb] Irish girl
But [Fm]
I got [Eb] one for you, [Bb] my Portobello Belle
She sees a man up on [Eb] his back there, [Bb] escaping [Gm] from a [Eb] sack there
[Bb] [Eb]
Belladonna lingers, [Bb] her clubs they got no [Cm]
fingers
[Bb] Blind man he's singing to the [Eb]
Irish, [Bb] get his money [Eb] in a dingy
[Bb] He just took her on a [Eb] ceremony, [Bb] once upon a time he caught [Eb] a meter
[Bb] She
[Eb] thinks she's tough, she ain't no English [Bb] woman
[Eb] Blind singer, he's singing now, [Bb] Fanny knows
Do
[Fm] a [Eb] song about a long gone [Bb] Irish girl
But
[Fm] I got [Eb] one for you,
[Bb] Portobello Belle
Yes, and these barrel boys [Eb] are honking, [Bb] and the [Eb] barricades are squawking
[Bb] And all the trucker [Eb] paper I know, [Bb] she get a [Eb] cryin' on her window
[Bb] And she get the reggae [Eb] rumble, [Bb]
Belladonna [Eb] send it come go
[Bb] But she ain't no [Eb] garden flower, [Bb] there ain't no distressing [Eb] they tell her
[Bb] Belladonna [Eb] walks, Belladonna take it to [Bb] the tune
She don't [Eb] care about the window box, you're bored [Bb] and worn
[Fm] Sing a song [Eb] about a long gone [Bb]
Irish girl
