Em Em7 Em7/D A
Touch of her skin feeling silky smooth,
Em Em7 Em7/D A
Colour of café au lait,
Am Bm
Made the ...savage beast inside roar, until he cried,
B B7
"More, more, more"-----!
[Verse 4]
Em Em7 Em7/D A
Now he's at home doing nine to five,
Em Em7 Em7/D A
Living his grey flannel life,

More, more, more-----!
