INTRO:
Em Em6 C/E Em

Em
Giving you more of what for

Always worked for me before
                 D                Em
Now I'm a shabby doll
Em                                                        D
What's going on behind the green elevator door
Em              D                 Em
With just a shabby doll

                Am
There's a hit man facing

A compromising situation
                    Em
With just a shabby doll
                                                            D
And a very neat line in character assassination
Em               D                 Em
She's just a shabby doll

CHORUS:
D                  A
She's just a shabby doll
          D                              A
She's putting him off and putting you on
D                     A               D                       A
She's just the shabby doll, she's just the shabby doll
            D                       A                                 D
You're swearing upon, you know in your heart
D                       A                             Em
She's gone you know in your heart
She's just a shabby doll

Em
There's a girl in this dress
There's always a girl in distress
                   D                    Em
She's just a shabby doll
She's so sure she's self-possessed
          D                                       Em
Then again she's half undressed
                   D                 Em
She's just a shabby doll

        Am
The boy that I used to be
Showed no sign of sympathy
                  Em
For just a shabby doll
I have betrayed you and me
                   D                         Em
And paid for my own bribery
                  D                  Em
With just a shabby doll

(Ulangi Chorus)

BRIDGE:
A/E                                      Dmaj7
He's the tired toy that everyone enjoyed
      A/E                                                D
He wants to be a fancy man but he's nothing but a nancy boy
C                                B
He's all pride and no joy

Em
And being what you might call a whore
Always worked for me before
                 D                Em
Now I'm a shabby doll
Untie the gag the cat's out of the bag
       D                               Em
But won't show his claws
                  D
He's just a shabby doll

Am
She said you must be joking
Some things are left unspoken
                     Em
You're just a shabby doll
He's lying limp and soaking
                   D              Em
He was openly broken
               D
By just a shabby doll

(Ulangi Chorus)
