Chords for Pretenders - Introduction and Tattooed Love Boys (1979)

_ Hello, _ I've been asked to say a few words about The Pretenders, an exciting band made up of three talented English boys _ and an amazing Yankee girl.
_ First, _ let's meet Martin Chambers, the drummer. _
He really loves nature.
_ _ Ethereal minstrel of the sky, why dost thou leave the earth where cares abound?
_ That's a poem by Wordsworth about the skyline, _ which is a common visitor to Harriet's show, which is where I'm from.
_ He flies a bit like this really. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Next up is James Honeyman Scott, _ a super guitar player, _ _ who is a serious collector as well.
_ Hello, _ I've allowed you the privilege of entering my living room here in England, which you see I've turned into a bar.
_ I have my many hobbies like my manly drinking collection and my [G] _ fabulous guitar collection, which consists of [G] the Firebird, the _ 345, 62 Fender Stratocaster, a couple of Les Pauls, Fender Telecaster and one that I shall come out and show you personally. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Now this one was a present to Pete Townsend from Joe [F] Walsh and Pete, friend of his, has [G] passed it on to me.
[Db] _ _ _ _ [B]
Let's talk with Pete Farringdon.
[B] _ When he's not playing his electric bass, you can probably find him on his bike. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
Marlon who?
I like Triumphs.
I've always ridden Bonneville's Triumphs since about 65.
[Ab] I'm not going to change now.
Don't [G] ask me any of the statistics [B] because as far as I'm concerned, whatever goes on inside there is magic.
I know nothing about it.
_ I'm really looking forward to coming [Db] to America.
_ [N] I'm really interested in the American political setup.
_ _ I think they made a mistake with Nixon.
They shouldn't have just impeached him.
They should have just let Teddy [E] Kennedy give him a lift home.
_ [G] Last but not least is Chrissy Hynde, _ lead vocalist and rhythm guitar player, _ _ who certainly is a very busy girl these days. _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Fascinating that Japanese from where the hell is [Eb] Akron?
_ I've always wanted to go there. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I had a job _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ in Paris for a year.
_ _ [G] _ _ I'm from Ohio though, so you really_
Ladies and gentlemen, The Pretenders.

target practice in the hall [A] while we're there, I'm [D] old enough to get told out, I, I, I, [D] I, found out what's good for the ride.
That was a [Ab] good time.
[G] Yeah, _ I [Ab] got pretty good. _
_ [C] Changing tires, up there bro. _
I shot my mouth off when you showed me [Ab] what that whole, whole, mouth.
