The Ballad Of Bethnal Green Chords

[Verse 1]
G                    C       D    
I tell the tale of a jealous male 
      C             D   G
and a maid of Sweet six-teen,
                                C              D
She was blonde and dumb and she lived with her mum
       C              D   G
On the fringe of Beth-nal Green.
    A
She worked all week for a rich old Greek
        G              D
For her dad was on the dole,
        G                 C      D
And her one delight was a Friday night
         C                 D   G
When she had a little rock and roll.
 
[Chorus]
                         C         G
To my rit-fal-lal, to my titty-fal-lal,
      C              D   G
To my itty-bitty-fal-dal-day.
                         C         G
To my rit-fal-lal, to my titty-fal-lal,
      C              D   G
To my itty-bitty-fal-dal-day.
 
[Verse 2]
     G                   C        D
Then one fine day in the month of May
    C             D  G
she found her Big ro-mance.
                             C           D
He was dark and sleek with a scar on his cheek
      C             D    G
and a pair of drain-pipe pants.
        A                   
And she thought, "With you, 
                                            D
I could be so true through all the years to come."
        G                C       D
For she loved the gay ab-andoned way
   C               D   G
He chewed his chew-ing gum.
 
[Chorus]
                         C         G
To my rit-fal-lal, to my titty-fal-lal,
      C              D   G
To my itty-bitty-fal-dal-day.
                         C         G
To my rit-fal-lal, to my titty-fal-lal,
      C              D   G
To my itty-bitty-fal-dal-day.
 
[Verse 3]
                   C        D    
It started well be-cause he fell 
    C               G
for all her girlish charms
                              C          D
But he had some doubt when he caught her out
   C           D   G
In someone els-e's arms.
   A                           
He said, "Look here, you know, 
                 G               D
my dear, this is going a bit too far."
        G                       C           D
Then he went quite white and he sloshed her right
       C                 D   D
In the middle of her cha-cha-cha.
 
[Verse 4]
                 C          D       C     
He went before a man of the law who said, 
  D   G
"This will not do!
                       C       D       C
I've had enough of the sort of stuff I get from
          D  G
The likes of you!"
    A                               
And was she peeved when he received 
  G               D
a longish term in clink?
     G                 C           D
In a fit of pique, she married the Greek
    C                 D  G
and now she's dressed in mink!
 
[Chorus]
                         C         G
To my rit-fal-lal, to my titty-fal-lal,
      C              D   G
To my itty-bitty-fal-dal-day.
                         C         G
To my rit-fal-lal, to my titty-fal-lal,
      C              D   G
To my itty-bitty-fal-dal-day.
