Pulling Mussels From The Shell

Am          Am/G    Am/F                  C       Dm   Am Dm
They do it down on Camber Sands, they do it at Waikiki
C/G               G                                     F     C F
Lazing about the beach all day, all night the crickets creepy
E                      F      C              D/F#
Squinting faces at the sky, a Harold Robbins paperback
E                             F        C                D/F#
Surfers drop their boards and dry, and everybody wants a hat

[Chorus]
F   G  Am  Am/G  Am/F      Am/G   Am    Am/G    Am/F
But behind the  chalet, my holi - day's    complete
     Am          Am/G   Am   Am/G
And I feel like William Tell
     Dm        Bbmaj7  Am      Ab6  G
Maid Marion on her     tiptoed feet
                         C     G
Pulling mussels from the shell,
                         F       E7/G#
Pulling mussels from the shell

[Verse 2]
Am          Am/G    Am/F                  C       Dm   Am Dm
Shrinking in the sea so cold, topless ladies look away
C/G                  G                          F     C F
A he-man in a sunken shower, shelters from the rain
E                        F        C               D/F#
You wish you had a motor boat, to pose around the harbour bar
E                           F         C             D/F#
And when the sun goes out to bed, you hook it up behind the car

[Chorus]
F   G  Am  Am/G  Am/F      Am/G   Am    Am/G    Am/F
But behind the  chalet, my holi - day's    complete
     Am          Am/G   Am   Am/G
And I feel like William Tell
     Dm        Bbmaj7  Am      Ab6  G
Maid Marion on her     tiptoed feet
                         C     G
Pulling mussels from the shell,
                         F       E7/G#
Pulling mussels from the shell

[Verse 3]
Am      Am/G          Am/F             C            Dm   Am Dm
Two fat ladies window shop, something for the mantelpiece
C/G                  G                               F     C F
In for bingo all the nines, a panda for sweet little niece
E                       F      C            D/F#
The coach drivers stand about, looking at a local map
E                       F       C                 D/F#
About the boy he's gone away, down to next door's caravan

[Chorus]
F   G  Am  Am/G  Am/F      Am/G   Am    Am/G    Am/F
But behind the  chalet, my holi - day's    complete
     Am          Am/G   Am   Am/G
And I feel like William Tell
     Dm        Bbmaj7  Am      Ab6  G
Maid Marion on her     tiptoed feet
                         C     G
Pulling mussels from the shell,
                         F       E7/G#
Pulling mussels from the shell
                         F       Am
Pulling mussels from the shell
