Am                                    C            G
Big girl in the red dress, she's just trying to impress us
          Am                            C               G
And she's got the barley fever, but she doesn't make a sound
           Am             C G            Am             C G
She's just hanging around ... She's just hanging around
Am                                  C                   G
Down the Court Road early, with the hustlers big and burly
          Am                              C               G
There's a million of them selling and the buyers can't be found
             Am             C G              Am             C G
They're just hanging around ... they're just hanging around

Christ has told his mother, Christ he told her not to bother
         Dm                            F              C
Coz he's alright in the city, coz he's high above the ground
          Dm             F          C

Am                                   C             G
One of them comes closer, he's got a monkey on his shoulder
        Am                                C               G
And the monkey's getting grinner, but his eyes are on the ground
          Am             C G           Am             C G
He's just hanging around ... he's just hanging around
    Am                               C            G
I'm moving in the Coleherne with the leather all around me
        Am                                C               G
And the sweat is getting steamy but their eyes are on the ground
             Am             C G              Am             C G
They're just hanging around ... they're just hanging around

Christ has told his mother, Christ he told her not to bother
         Dm                            F              C
Coz he's alright in the city, coz he's high above the ground

He's just hanging around (hanging around) (<- repeat x4)
