The Last Of The English Roses
Pete Doherty
Text File
I've heard a few different sets of lyrics for this, but these seem to be the most common
best!).
Actually the more live versions i watch, it appears Pete just picks verses
at random. Still, sounds good one way or another:
Intro:
C#m A C#m A E
Verse:
C#m A C#m
Oh my you did look dapper in your mothers old green scarf
A C#m
with your famous Aunty, Arthurs trousers on
A C#m
Got slapped by that slapper and we all laughed
A E
But she laughed the loudest in 93
C#m A C#m
A
"Saucy" you'd say and we all fell around, rolling 'round the playground,
C#m A C#m
A
"Cheeky" you'd say and we all fell around, rolling 'round the playground.
E
In 94
Bridge:
E
Charm the bees knees off the bees
Skipping and dancing hand in hand
pre-chorus
D E
Yeah it was all the boys together
D E
and all the girls together
Chorus
A E D A
She's the last of the english ro-oses
A E D A
She's the last of the english ro-oses
Verse:
C#m A C#m
She knows her Rodneys from her Stanleys and her Kappas from her Reebok
A C#m
And her tit from her tat and her Winstons from her Enoks
A C#m
And round the Snooker table she danced the Frutti-Tutti
A C#m
And she almost spilled her lager toasting girls of great beauty
Bridge:
E
2009 comin of age, comin alive
pre-chorus
D E
Yeah it was all the boys together
D E
and all the girls together
Chorus
A E D A
She's the last of the english ro-oses
A E D A
She's the last of the english ro-oses
Thats it!
