Slit Skirts Chords by Pete Townshend

[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I was just 34 years old, _ and I was [Ab] still wandering in a _ haze
_ [Gb] I was wondering why everyone I met seemed like they [Eb] were lost in a _ maze
I _ [Bbm] _
don't know why I thought I should have some [Ab] kind of divine ride to the blues _
[Gb] It's sympathy enough tears people need _
When the [Eb] front page said me _
[Bb] The incense burned away, _ [Eb] and the stench began to rise
_ [Bb] _ Lovers now _ estranged, a boy [Eb] did catch each other's _ eyes
_ [F] Girls who lost [C] their children, [F] cursed the man who picked [C] the coil
[F] It may not be for [C] marriage, but [F] they're a fuge [C] in the oil
[G] No one respects [D] the [G] flame, quite like the fool who's badly burned
From all this [D] beauty making, [C] there must be [G] something _ [C] learned
_ _ Slit _ _ skirt, _ do you ever wear closed-fit shirts?
I don't ever wear no [Am]-knit shirts
Can't pretend that I [C] wear only leather-worn [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [C] deep-pants
_ JD never wears no deep-pants
_ There'll be some time [Am] to try new pants
_ So afraid of every [Bb] new _ _ romance _
Slit [D] _ skirt, slit skirt, JD isn't wearing [Bm] both
Slit skirt, slit skirt, she wouldn't dare in [G] those
Slit skirt, slit skirt, wouldn't be seen by any [C] most
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ Romance, romance, why are we thinking [Bm] of _ _ romance?
Why can't we think it up [G] to our [D] fullness?
[G] Got me to greet [C] you, romance _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [Bbm] Let me tell you some more about myself
[Db] You know I'm sitting at home just now
The [Gb] big events of the day are past
And the late [Eb] TV shows have come around _
I'm [Bbm] _ _ number one on the home team
But [Db] I still feel _ unfulfilled
[Ab] _ [Gb] A silent voice and a broken heart
[Eb] Complaining that I'm _ unskilled
_ And [Bb] I know that when she thinks of me
_ _ [Eb] She thinks of me as him
_ [Bb] She _ _ _ don't work off her [Eb] frustration in the gym
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] Recrimination's faster
[F] And the past can never [C] change
[F] A woman's [C] expectations run [F] from wealth and the [G] rage
_ When she walked [D] with [A] untamed leather [G] face between [D] her legs _
[G] Now he's golden _ snuffled
[C] And is she [G] who has the bag?
[C] _ _ _ _
_ Slit skirt, JD never wear those
Slit skirt, and I don't have a [Am] long rip shirt
Can't pretend that growing [C] older never hurt
_ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [C] _ Deep pants, JD never wears my deep pants
We have to be so dumb [Am] to try a new dance
So afraid of [C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
rips
[D] Slit skirt, _ JD isn't wearing those
[Bm] Slit skirt, _ she wouldn't wear [G] those
Slit _ skirt, we're missing any [C] nose
[Bb] Slit _ [C] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ skirt, JD isn't wearing [Bm] those
Slit skirt, _ JD isn't wearing [G] those
Slit skirt, _ _ we're missing any [C] nose Slit _ skirt _
_ [D] _ Romance romance
Why y'all be thinking [Bm] of romance?
_ _ Why can't we drink it up to [G] our loneliness?
Just need a free [C] beer and a rose
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
