You're a Chav...!

This is the flip-side of the "Put 'em all in the Army now" single, i guess the song is about a dilemma many of us have had at one time or another, you love the girl but are slightly embarrassed by her life style..! A gentle bit of fun about a now rather out-dated yoof culture, enjoy!

PLAY LOUD!

YOU'RE A CHAV!

I DON'T LIKE YOUR BURBERRY DRESS
I REALLY HATE YOUR TESCO EXPRESS
I DON'T WANT TO TAKE YOU OUT
I WON'T RIDE YOUR ROUNDABOUT.

CHORUS - YOU'RE A CHAV!
YEH BABY / LORD KNOWS YOU'RE A CHAV
I CAN'T WASTE MY TIME
WITH SOMETHING I DON'T WANNA HAVE

I DON'T WANT TO MEET YOUR MOTHER
I DON'T LIKE YOUR ASBO BROTHER
I DON'T WANT YOU DRAPED IN BLING
JUST WANNA MAKE YOUR DOORBELL RING.

CHORUS

I DON'T WANT TO PAINT YOUR FLAT
I DON'T LIKE YOUR BASEBALL HAT
I DON'T WANT TO MOW YOUR LAWN
JUST WANNA BE UP AND GONE BY DAWN.

CHORUS

I DON'T LIKE YOUR JIMMY SHOOS
I DON'T WANT TO SING YOUR BLUES
I DON'T WANT TO PARTY ALL NIGHT
JUST WANT EVERYTHING TO BE ALL RIGHT

CHORUS X2

YOU'RE A CHAV...INNIT! (-;

@ Sammy, 4 string guitar 25.5" scale length tuned bGDG (GDGb on a right handed guitar) and turned up half a step, just mess round with the slide till you find the right chords, that's all i do, keep meaning to study proper chords in future or i'll be running out of ideas (-;

Comment by Sammy Lloyd on September 1, 2011 at 11:45am: Steve just love your sound......was going to bed until I tuned into your video, now the old foot's a tapping and I've had to replay it for the 3rd time. Wish I knew what the chords were for the tune. I play a Cigar Box Ukulele and wouldn't have a clue how to discover how to get the chords close to what your song. (as a beginner I tend to print off chords and lyrics from the likes of www.chordie.com) Nice one mate, love it. cheers Sammy
