D G I got my fingers dirty at the school of rock D A Yeah I got my fingers dirty so I took a walk D I went up to the country park and F# Bm hung around till after dark G And the girls got home D Till the girls got home Did I tell you about the one I know, she's on the rag And she spent the summer day inside her sleeping bag Yeah she spent the summer day inside until it's time to go to work And she works all night Yeah, the girl's all right The girls have got a house that's like a caravan And it's like your holiday whenever you go round And we always have a laugh and then we all get in the bath To save on the leccy bill Me & Jo & Phil Chorus: Bm G I had to leave them in the morning D I left the keys around the way A I had to go to work Bm G I had to leave them in the morning D I left the keys down in the caff A I had to catch a bus When Jo was short of cash I had to give her some But I didn't really mind cause I was fit for once So we paid the leccy bill, we got the shopping And we still had some for the cinema So we all went out D G She asked me "Do I need to lose a bit of weight?" D And I said "Now don't be stupid 'cause you're A looking great" D F# Now we call her String Bean Jean because the label Bm on her jeans says G D Seven to eight years old - well that's pretty small G D Seven to eight years old - well that's pretty small G D Seven to eight years old - well that's pretty small G A Seven to eight years old. | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  Bm  D  F#  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
