(best viewed in Courier New)
Tom Dumont mutes the strings to get the quick funk effect on the chords 
but it sounds good played more freely so it's really up to you, and the 
level of perfectionist in you, how you want to play this.

Intro - repeat four times
E|-----7--7---9---9-------
B|-----9--9---9---9-------
G|-----9--9---9---9-------
D|------------11--11------
A|------------------------

"But you see the colours in me.."

B|---5---5---4---4--------
G|---6---6---4---4-------- x3
D|---7---7---6---6--------

On the fourth time, you go like this to transition into the chorus:
E|---5---5---7---7--------
B|---5---5---7---7--------
G|---6---6---8---8-------- x1
D|---7---7---9---9--------
A|------------------------
E|------------------------

Chorus
"You're really lovely underneath it all.."
E|---7--7---5--5---7--7---5--5---

G|---9--9---6--6---8--8---6--6--- x 3
D|----------7--7---9--9---7--7---
A|-------------------------------
E|-------------------------------

Note: On the fourth time round, you hold the 7789 chord and then go 
      straight back into the verse, like this:
"You're really lovely."
E|---7--7---5--5---7--7--7--7---7--7----
B|---9--9---5--5---7--7--7--7---9--9----
G|---9--9---6--6---8--8--8--8---9--9----

E|----------------------------------------------4-----------

To transition into the Lady Saw sequence (or the third verse) play the
fourth fret on the bottom string a few times and then enter the next part.

If you're including the Lady Saw part then just play the chorus chords and
then go into the verse when Gwen comes back in.
If not, just go straight back into the verse.

Verse
"You've used up all your coupons.."
E|-----7--7---9---9-------
B|-----9--9---9---9-------
G|-----9--9---9---9-------  x 4
D|------------11--11------
A|------------------------
E|------------------------

Stum the chords normally for the first two lines of the chorus this time round, 
then play the usual funk-mute rhythm again once it gets to "I'm really lucky"

Chorus
"You're really lovely underneath it all.."
E|---7--7---5--5---7--7---5--5---
B|---9--9---5--5---7--7---5--5---
G|---9--9---6--6---8--8---6--6--- x 3
D|----------7--7---9--9---7--7---
A|-------------------------------
E|-------------------------------

"You're really lovely."
E|---7--7---5--5---7--7--7--7------
B|---9--9---5--5---7--7--7--7------
G|---9--9---6--6---8--8--8--8------  Repeat a bunch of times
D|----------7--7---9--9--9--9------  then fade out or just stop.
A|---------------------------------  (If you're playing it live,
E|---------------------------------  just stop - fade outs don't work live)

Enjoy!
