Pulling Mussels From The Shell

[Verse 1]
Am           Am/G       Am/F
  They do it down on Camber Sands
     Am/E         Dm  Am Dm
They do  it at Waikiki
C                       G
 Lazing about the beach all day
                          F C F
At night the crickets creepy

[Pre-Chorus]
E
 Squinting faces at the sky
F     C             D/F#
 A Harold Robbins paperback
E
 Surfers drop their boards and dry
F       C            D/F#
 And everybody wants a   hat

[Chorus]
F   G Am  Am Am/G       Am/F
But behind       the chalet
   Am/G     Am Am/G
My holiday's       complete
Am/F Am/G      Am        Am/G
     And I feel  like William Tell
Am/F
Am/E       Dm         Bb Am
    Maid Marian on her   tiptoed feet
Ab G                       C
    Pulling mussels from a shell

[Post-Chorus]
G                       F
 Pulling mussels from a shell

[Verse 2]
G#dim7      Am         Am/G
      Shrinking in the sea so cold
Am/F          Am/E          Dm Am Dm
    Topless ladies look away
C                G
 A heman in a sudden shower
                  F   C F
Shelters from the rain

[Pre-Chorus]
E                         F
 You wish you had a motor boat
       C              D/F#
To pose around the harbour bar
E                             F
 And when the sun goes off to bed
        C             D/F#
You hook it up behind the car

[Chorus]
F   G Am  Am Am/G       Am/F
But behind       the chalet
   Am/G     Am Am/G
My holiday's       complete
Am/F Am/G      Am        Am/G
     And I feel  like William Tell
Am/F
Am/E       Dm         Bb Am
    Maid Marian on her   tiptoed feet
Ab G                       C
    Pulling mussels from a shell

[Verse 3]
G#dim7   Am      Am/G
      Two  fat ladies window shop
Am/F              Am/E           Dm Am Dm
    Something for the mantelpiece
C
 In for bingo all the nines
G                         F    C F
 A panda for sweet little niece

[Pre-Chorus]
E
 Coach drivers stand about
F    C          D/F#
 Looking at a local map
E                          F
 About the boy, he's gone away
    C                 D/F#
Down to next door's caravan
