Main Riff X6
Am# F#
Raised to be a lady by the golden rule,
Dm# Am#
Alice was the spawn of a public school.
MAIN RIFF X1
F#
With a double barrel name.. in the back of her brain,
Dm# G# Am#
And a simple case of mummy-dont-love-me blues. MAIN RIFF X2

VERSE 2
Am# F#
Reality it seems.. was just a dream,
Dm# Am#
She couldnt get it on.. with the boys on the scene.
MAIN RIFF x1 F#
But what do you expect from a chick who’s just sixteen,
Dm# G# Am#
And hey hey hey (hey hey hey)... you know what I mean. MAIN RIFF X2
CHORUS 1
Am# F7#
All the young girls love Alice,

Tender young Alice they say.

Alice it's my turn today. CHORUS RIFF
Am# F7#
All the young girls love Alice,

Am# F#
If I give you my number… Will you promise to call me?
G# B Am#
Wait till my husband’s away. CHORUS RIFF
VERSE 3
Poor little darling.. with a chip out of her heart,
It's like acting in a movie.. When you've got the wrong part.
Getting your kicks, in another girls bed,
And it was only last Tuesday... Oh..they found you in the subway dead.
VERSE 4
And who could you call your friends down in Soho?
One or two, middle aged dykes in a Go-Go?
And what do you expect from a sixteen year old yo-yo?
And hey hey hey (hey hey hey}...oh don't you know.
CHORUS
Am# F7#
All the young girls love Alice,
C# D7#
Tender young Alice they say.
Am# F#
Come over and see me, come over and please me,
G# B Am#
Alice it's my turn today. CHORUS RIFF
Am# F7#
All the young girls love Alice,

Wait till my husband’s away. CHORUS RIFF
OUTRO: Am# and fade
This song also works well if you capo it at the first fret to play the verses and
such. The just transpose the chords down one-half step.
