Verse 1
A           D5  E        F   
  The Greek sun made you lovely
A      D5                  E    F
  But attacked me with its rays 
A         D5        E         F 
  I fell asleep and burned so badly
A                D5           E         F
  I could barely move for the first few days

  The girls in front all lay topless
A          D5          E      F
  I did my best not to look
A               D5        E          F

A         D5        E       F

  For the first time in ages we just sat and chatted
A                D5          E          F 
  Then staggered home happy, tanned and pissed
