[Intro]
[C#m]     [Bm]      [A]
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
                  [C#m]   [Bm]      [A]
She's got another fantasy
                         [C#m]    [Bm]      [A]
She lives in flat number twenty three
                       [C#m]      [Bm]      [A]
Picked first prize for carnival queen
[A]                     [D]       [D]
And now she takes her clothes off
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
[C#m]     [Bm]      [A]
                           [C#m]  [Bm]      [A]
Collects the covers of her magazines
                        [C#m]     [Bm]      [A]
She longs to be another teenage dream
                             [C#m]   [Bm]      [A]
The problem is she's turning forty three
[A]                   [D]       [D]
She still takes her clothes off
 
 
[Chorus]
 
[Em]                   [G]     [A]        [D]     [Dsus4]    [D]
She got the nickname Porta Bubble Joan
[Em]                   [G]       [A]     [D]     [Dsus4]    [D]
They found her dead, dead as nails at home
[G]                                       [D]
And she said I'm gonna be another Marilyn
[G]                             [D]
Bleach my hair and get real thin
[G]                          [D]               [A]
And everybody's gonna wanna dance with me
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
[C#m]     [Bm]      [A]
                             [C#m]  [Bm]      [A]
She loves to have her little fantasies
                             [C#m]    [Bm]      [A]
She longed to be the wife of Jimmy Dean
                         [C#m]     [Bm]      [A]
But Jimmy's head sits in Jimmy's knees
[A]                     [D]       [D]
She loves to take her clothes off
 
 
[Verse 4]
 [C#m]     [Bm]      [A]
                             [C#m]    [Bm]      [A]
Police are looking 'round at twenty three
                                [C#m]     [Bm]      [A]
They found her hanging from her swollen feet
                           [C#m]       [Bm]      [A]
They saw her dance last in Woolworth Street
[A]                     [D]       [D]
She loved to take her clothes off
 
 
[Chorus]
 [Em]                   [G]     [A]        [D]     [Dsus4]    [D]
She got the nickname Porta Bubble Joan
[Em]                   [G]       [A]     [D]     [Dsus4]    [D]
They found her dead, dead as nails at home
[G]                                       [D]
And she said I'm gonna be another Marilyn
[G]                             [D]
Bleach my hair and get real thin
[G]                          [D]               [A]
And everybody's gonna wanna dance with me
 
 
[Outro]
 [D]               [A]                       [G]
Everybody wants to be the carnival queen
[D]               [A]               [G]       [D]       [A]       [G]
Everybody wants to be the carnival king or queen
                        [D]       [A]       [G]
We all read the books
                        [D]       [A]       [G]
She takes her clothes off
             [D]     [A]    [G]
One by one
            [D]     [A]     [G]
Off again
