[Intro]
G G

[Verse 1]
G                               C/G
Bella donna's on the high street
G                                C/G
Her breasts upon the off beat
G                                       C/G
And the stalls are just the side shows
G                 C/G
Victoriana's old clothes
G                                 C/G
And yes her jeans are tight now
G                         C/G
She got to travel light now
G                                       C/G
She got to turn up all her roots now
G                                      C/G
She got a turn up for the boots now

[Chorus]
G      C/G
She thinks she's tough
                                G
She ain't no English rose
             C/G
But the blind singer
                                         G
He's seen enough and he knows
              Fmaj7                         C/G            G
Yes and he do a song about a long-gone Irish girl
               Fmaj7          C/G                    G
Ah but I got one for you, Portobello Belle

[Verse 2]
G                                      C/G
She sees a man upon his back there
G                        C/G
Escaping from a sack there
G                         C/G
And Bella donna lingers
G                                   C/G
Her gloves ain't got no fingers
G                                          C/G
Yeah, the blind man sing in Irish
G                                 C/G
He get his money in a tin dish
G                     C/G
Just a corner serenader
G                                 C/G
Upon a time he could have made her, made her

[Chorus]
G     C/G
She thinks she's tough
                                G
She ain't no English rose
             C/G
But the blind singer
                                         G
He's seen enough and he knows
              Fmaj7                          C/G           G
Yes and he do a song about a long-gone Irish girl
            Fmaj7                C/G                 G
Ah but I got one for you, Portobello Belle

[Verse 3]
G                                           C/G
Yes and the barrow boys are hawking
G                            C/G
And the parakeet's squawking
G                                   C/G
Upon a truck there is a rhino
G                                  C/G
She get the crying of a wino
G                                              C/G
And then she hear the reggae rumble
G                              C/G
Bella donna's in the jungle
G                                C/G
But she is no garden flower
G                                        C/G
There is no distress in the tower

[Outro]
C/G
Bella donna walks
                                  G
Bella donna taking a stroll
                C/G                                                            G
She don't care about your window box or your buttonhole
                    Fmaj7                        C/G           G
Yes and she sing a song about a long-gone Irish girl
            Fmaj7                C/G                G
