[Intro 1]
[A]

[Verse 1]
She [A]stepped off the bus with a
[G]burst suit[Em]case and [A]a frown
And she could smell the breweries and
[G]abattoirs [Em]on the edge of[A] town
And [G]the man who owes [D]her money
won't [A]even lend her an ear
When she [G]phones to de[D]mand
[A]his answer's vague;
He [Em]says, [A]"I'll get back to you but[G] right
now I've [Em]got to catch the plague."

[Interlude 1]
[A]

[Verse 2]
Down in a bargain basement [G]she goes
[Em]to shuffle through ca[A]reers
When all they offer her is [G]friendship
[Em]and peace souven[A]irs
And the recep[G]tionist was [D]playing
with a pen[A]cil at her lip
She [G]asked her if she [D]knew a place [A]to sleep
She says, "I'll get back to you [G]but now
I've got ap[Em]pointments to keep."
[A]

[Verse 3]
There was a shop called B.J.'s that [G]she stepped
into [Em]to get out of [A]the gale
They sold only British manufactured,
[G]lifetime [Em]guaranteed to [A]fail
And a [G]store detective [D]asked her
what she [A]had under her coat
"It's [G]just a little [D]something that [A]I wrote
It says, 'I'll get back to you un[G]less first your
[Em]girlfriend slits [A]your throat.'"
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[A]
[Em]And[A][G][Em]
[A][G][D][A][G][D][A][Am][G][Em][A][D]
[A]by the time
the sun set she was [G]penniless and [Em]frozen to the [A]core
[Em]The [A]Salvation Army girls refused[G] her
on the [Em]grounds they didn't [A]know her
So she [G]asked them, well, [D]for advice,
but [A]it turned out to be
[G]A Sunday sport re[D]porter who
was [A]following his nose
He said, "I'll get back to you [G]but first
we need a [Em]picture without clothes."
[A]

[Verse 5]
So she stepped back on that bus with a
[G]burst suit[Em]case and [A]a frown
She had come to the conclusion that [G]this
was not [Em]the place for Maggie [A]Brown
And it [G]was 6 in [D]the morning
[A]when she telephoned me
Un[G]til then I'd been [D]living on my [A]knees
But I got back up when [G]she got back [D]to me[A]
