[Bm] [G] [A] [Bm] Guitar & harp
[Bm] [G] [A] [Bm] x 2 + Bass & drums
[Bm]I wanna tell you 'bout my [G]mountain home
[A]Where all the ladies [Bm]name's are Joan
[Bm]Where husband works back [G]late at night
[A]Hopes are up, for trousers down, with the [Bm]hostess on a business
flight
[Bm]Taxi in a [G]Mercedes drive
[A]I hope that driver's [Bm]comin' out alive
[Bm]The garden it is Dorseted, that [G]lady she's so corseted
[A]She's got 15 ways to [Bm]lead that boy astray
[Bm]Thinks he's one and only, but that [G]lovely she's so lonely
[A]She pumps him full of breakfast, and she [Bm]sends him on his way
Pre-chorus:
What a [Bm]sing, song, dance
What a [A]performance
What a [G]cheap tent show
Oh, [F#]no, no, no, no, no
Chorus:
Then the [Bm]boys light up )
Then the [G]boys light up )
Then the [A]boys light up ) x 2
Then the [Bm]boys light up, light up, light up )
Break [Bm] [G] [A] [Bm]
[Bm]Silently she [G]opens the drawer
[A]Mother's little helper is [Bm]comin' out for more
[Bm]Strategically positioned, [G]before the midday show
That [A]back is arched, those lips are parched, [Bm]repeated blow by
blow
And [Bm]later at the party, where [G]all the MP's rave
'Bout the [A]hummers she's been givin', and the [Bm]money that they
saved
To [Bm]her it is skin lotion, [G]him promotion too
That [A]flat in Surfers' Paradise, [Bm]with the ocean view

Variation of this are used towards the end
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official AUSTRALIAN CRAWL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
