Peron's latest flame Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F][C]

[Verse 1]
At the [C]watering
holes of the well- [F]to- do
I detect a [C]resistance to
Precisely
[F]Our heroine's sty[C]le
We're glad you noticed
[Dm]The [F]shooting

[Verse 2]
[C]sticks of
the upper[F]- class[Dm]
Give her an inch
Aren't supporting [C]a single ass
[F]That would rise for the gir[C]l
She'll take a mile

[Verse 3]
Such a shame she [Am]wandered
into our [C]en closure
How unfortunate [Am]this person
has forced us to be [C]blunt
No we wouldn't [Am]mind
seeing her at [Em]Harrod's
But be[F]hind the jewelry counter,
not in front
[C]

[Verse 4]
[C]Could there be in our [F]fighting corps
A lack of [C]enthusiasm [F]for
Peron's latest [C]flame
You said it [F]brother

[Verse 5]
[C]Should you wish to cause [F]great distress
In the tidiest [C]officer's [F]mess
Just mention her [C]name
That isn't funny

[Verse 6]
Per[Am]on is a fool,
breaking every taboo
Installing [B]a g[A]irl in the a[B]rmy H.Q.
[Am]And she's an actress, the last straw
Her only good parts are
between her thighs
She should stare [B]at [A]the ceiling,
not [B]reach for [Am]the skies
Or she could be his last whore

[Verse 7]
The [G]evidence sug[D]gests[Dm]
[D]She has other int[C]erests[F][C]
[G]If it's her who's using [Dm]him[F]
[Dm]He's exceptionally [F]dim
[F]Bitch! [Am]Dange[A]ro[Am]us Jade

[Verse 8]
[F]We have allowed our[C]selves to sli[Am]p
[F]We have completely lost our gri[Am]p
We have declined [F]to an [Am]all- [F]time [Am]low
Tarts have be[F]come the set [Am]to know
[F#]I am

[Verse 9]
only a radio star with just
one weekly show
But speaking as one of the people
I want you to know
We are tired of the de[A]cline of Argen[B]tina
With no [D]sign of a gov[E]ernment able to
[Am]give us the things we [F#]deserve
[Am]It's

[Verse 10]
no crime for officers
to do as they please
As [B]long as they're dis[A]creet
and keep [Am]clear of disease
We ignore, we disregard
But once they allow a bit on the side
To [B]move to [A]the center where
she's [B]not quali[Am]fied
We are forced to mark his card

[Verse 11]
She should [G]get into her [Dm]head
[Am]She [D]should not get out of bed[C][Am]
[G]She should know that
she's not [Dm]paid[Am][Dm]
To be loud but to be [C]laid
[Am]Slut[A]! Dang[Am]erous Jade

[Verse 12]
[Dm]This has [Am]really been your year, [Bb]Miss Duarte
[F]Tel[Dm]l us whe[A]re you go from her[Dm]e,
Miss Duarte
[Gm]Which [G]are the [A]roles that
you [Dm]yearn to play?
[A]Whom did you sleep[D],
dine with [A]yesterday?
[D]Act[A]ing

[Verse 13]
is [D]limiting,
the [A]line's not [D]mine
[A]That's no [D]help to the [A]Argentine

[Verse 14]
[D]Can[Am] we assume then that you'll quit?
Is this be[A]cause of [Am]your involvement

[Verse 15]
with Colonel Peron?
[Am]Good[Dm]night and thank [Am]you
She won't be kept happy by
her nights on the tiles
She says it's his [A]body,
but she's after [Am]his files
So get back on to the street

[Verse 16]
She should [G]get into her head
[D]She should not get out of [C]bed
[G]She should know that she's not paid
[Dm]To be loud but to be laid
The [G]evidence suggests
[D]She has other interests
[G]If it's her who's using him
[Dm]He's exceptionally dim

[Verse 17]
Things have reached a pretty pass
When someone pretty lower- class
Graceless and vulgar, uninspired
Can be accepted and admired
