Chocolate Girl tab by Deacon Blue

Deacon Blue: Chocolate Girl
Standard tuning, no capo

It's not exactly like the orginal song but still sounds pretty good I think. I like to
vary the A# Dm C at the end of a lot of the lines just so it doesn't sound too repetitive, for example
skipping the A# or carrying the A# over for longer hence skipping the Dm


Verse:

   F            A# Dm C
Alan doesn't understand her
  F            A# Dm C
He only thinks in numbers
  Am       Dm
He only drinks in restaurants
     A#        C
Where the girls are fully covered

  F              A# Dm C
And he can't trust his yearnings
    F            A# Dm C
And he doesn't like pretending
  Am        Dm
His tempers stretched so much by work
  A#         C
His heart needs gentle rending


Chorus:

A#        C       A# Dm C
He calls her the chocolate girl
     Am            Dm     A# Dm C
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
A#         C        A# Dm C
She knows she's the chocolate girl
       Am       Dm
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
  A#         C
And wrapped in bits of silver


Verse:
   F            A# Dm C
Alan doesn't understand this
  F          A# Dm C
He says he's only human
  Am         Dm
So he still lights up with old flames
  A#      C
As if to try and prove it

    F          A# Dm C
And he doesn't like emotion
     F            A# Dm C
He's not certain of their ardour
  Am       Dm
If pouting carries so much fun
   A#         C
Then breaking hearts is harder


Chorus:

A#        C       A# Dm C
He calls her the chocolate girl
     Am            Dm     A# Dm C
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
A#         C        A# Dm C
She knows she's the chocolate girl
       Am       Dm
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
  A#         C
And wrapped in bits of silver


Verse:

   F           A# Dm C
Alan doesn't understand her
  F             A# Dm C
He thinks it's getting harder
   Am        Dm
So he spends the night with old friends
A#       C
Underneath the covers


Chorus:

A#        C       A# Dm C
He calls her the chocolate girl
     Am            Dm     A# Dm C
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
A#         C        A# Dm C
She knows she's the chocolate girl
       Am       Dm
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
  A#         C
And wrapped in bits of silver


A#        C       A# Dm C
He calls her the chocolate girl
     Am            Dm     A# Dm C
'cause he thinks she melts when he touches her
A#         C        A# Dm C
She knows she's the chocolate girl
       Am       Dm
'cause she's broken up and swallowed
  A#         C
