INTRO: Cm/A G Cm/A G
Cm/Eb
I’m impossible she’s exciting
G/D D
Bound together with joined up writing
Cm G/D
In the Church I heard a bell ring
Cm/Eb Em
In a bar I heard a girl sing
G Cm/Eb
She sings solo I see double
G/D A/C#
Moments vanish her love so subtle
Cm G/B
I went home it’s not surprising
Gm/Bb A
Words were few and realising
CHORUS:
Am7 G
I was deep in my points of view
Am7 G
So interested to talk to you
Am7 G
talk to you talk to you
Am7 G
talk to you talk to you
(Do chords from first verse)
She’ s romantic and I’m selected
Glances swapped and thoughts collected
By her song it’s not her singing
Words were few the bell was ringing
On the table my cards are shuffled
Words take time to get so muddled
I’m off home I’m shy but eager
Tomorrow comes I hope to see her
(Do chords from Chorus)
On the stage with her velvet voice
Though some would say that it’s just a noise
just a noise just a noise
just a noise just a noise
BRIDGE:
Eb Dm C# Cm Bm Bb A
Am7 G
I bit off more than I could chew
Am7 G
So interested in my points of view
(Do chords from first verse)
Trial and Jury swear on the Bible
I’m too drunk and unreliable
I’m too drunk for conversation
Though I wait for invitation
She’s exiting I’m uninvited
Fifteen rounds this love I’ve fighted
I’ll walk home and curse the heavens
Lost on points my heart was flattened
Am7 G
Maybe she had other things to do
Am7 G
And didn’t want any points of view
Am7 G (repeat to fade)

«Pulling Mussels From The Shell» by Squeeze I think this is a little
closer J
Am G F E Dm
They do it down on camber sands, They do it at Waikiki
G F
Lazing about the beach all day, All night the crickets creepy
E F C F#
Squinting faces at the sky, A Harrold Robbins paperback
E F C F#
Surfers drop their boards and dry, And everybody wants a hat
G#Am G F G Am G F
But behind the Chalet, My holiday’s complete
G Am G F E
And I feel like William Tell
Dm C Bflat A G# G
Maid Marion on her tiptoed feet
C G
Pulling mussels from the shell,
F G#
Pulling mussels from the shell
Am G F E Dm
Shrinking in the sea so cold, Topless ladies look away
G F
A he-man in a sunken shower, Shelters from the rain
E F C F#
You wish you had a motor boat, To pose around the harbor bar
E F C F#
And when the sun goes out to bed, You hook it up behind the car
G#Am G F G Am G F
But behind the Chalet, My holiday’s complete
G Am G F E
And I feel like William Tell
Dm C Bflat A G# G
Maid Marion on her tiptoed feet
C G
Pulling mussels from the shell,
F G#
Pulling mussels from the shell
Am G F E Dm
Two fat ladies window shop, Something for the mantelpiece
G F
In for bingo all the nines, A panda for sweet little niece
E F C F#
The coach drivers stand about, Looking at a local map
E F C F#
About the boy he’s gone away, Down to next door’s caravan
G#Am G F G Am G F
But behind the Chalet, My holiday’s complete
G Am G F E
And I feel like William Tell
Dm C Bflat A G# G
Maid Marion on her tiptoed feet
C G
Pulling mussels from the shell,
F G#
Pulling mussels from the shell
(2X and end)
I saw this in the archive and it was so confusing I was motivated to
help it out, I think the words are correct, but more important, I
believe the chords are in the right place.
This is a cool song, so enjoy. Mike Makarov

Here it is: the Squeeze classic, «Pulling Mussels From The Shell,»
written by Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford, from the 1980 album
«Argybargy.»
Difford and Tilbrook often perform this song acoustic — in fact, I
started
playing it after seeing them on an early «Unplugged» before it got
trendy
with big stars. Note: I use G# and climb back down to G on the chorus,
but
on TV they played a different chord which I couldn’t figure out
visually.
Also, they skip the solo and go straight to the last verse…Enjoy!
