Bm     A        G      A
Photographs of fancy tricks
Bm           A        G     A
to get your kicks at sixty-six.
Bm            A       G       A
He thinks of all the lips he licks
Bm           A               G     A
and all the girls that he's gonna fix.
     Bm             A             G             A
She gave a little flirt, gave herself a little cuddle,
            Bm        A            G         A
But there's no place here for the miniskirt waddle.
     Bm        A           G           A
Capital punishment, she's last year's model.
      G          A              G         A
They call her Natasha, but she looks like Elsie.
G        F#m    Em    D
I don't want to go to Chelsea.
G   D      G        D
Oh no, it does not move me,
G      D          G        D
Even though I've seen the movie,
G        D        G         D
I don't want to check your pulse.
G        D      G     D
I don't want nobody else.
G        D      E
I don't want to go to Chelsea.

Bm    A      G      A     Bm      A             G        A
Everybody's got new orders. Be a nice girl and kiss the warders.
Bm       A      G    A  Bm        A      G       A
Now the teacher is away, all the kids begin to play.

|Bm A |G A |Bm A |G A |

Bm          A         G          A
Men come screaming, dressed in white coats,
Bm              A     G        A
Shake you very gently by the throat.
G            A   G           A
One's named Gus, one's named Alfie.
G        F#m    Em      D
I don't want to go to Chelsea.
G   D       G        D
Oh, no, it does not move me,
G      D          G        D
Even though I've seen the movie.
G        D       G          D
I don't want to check your pulse.
G        D      G    D
I don't want nobody else.
G        D      E
I don't want to go to Chelsea.
