Chord/Tab song: The Birmingham Ho

I met this girl [Em]in a Birmingham taxi[D]
I got it first, but she slipped in before me

[C]Just as I was telling her, hey this is[D] mine 'ho

She already told the cab driver where to go


[G]Me I always show respect for the[Em] ladies

I sat back and let her[C] have it her way

[D]So good lord sees me through darkness and light

I tell you what I remembered from that night


[Em]I'm hungry, do you fancy a little something to eat? [D]

I can't go on forever on Cognac and weed

[C]But she was already on the way down in the seat [D]

I tried to stop her, or maybe I didn't


[G]So there I was in a strange situation

[Em]The chauffeur said I can drop you [C]off at the station

I said n[D]o man, no don't

I tell you when to stop keep your eyes on the road


You don't [Em]have to be gay to make a [D]friend feel good O[C]K

No, you don't ha[Am]ve to be gay to make a [G]friend feel good OK[Bm][C]

You don't [D]have to be gay to make a friend feel good OK


[Em]Two hours later, she was still at it[D]

The driver had to refill gasoline and sht

[C]Baby baby, introduce yourself

[D]What's your name, girl?


My name is[G] Fred

Fred?

Fred, yeah


[Em]Fred, a'what a'[C]what did you say?

[D]Now that put me back a bit 'cos I'm not gay

Now that put me back a bit 'cos I'm not gay


You don't [Em]have to be gay to make a [D]friend feel good O[C]K

No, you don't ha[Am]ve to be gay to make a [G]friend feel good OK[Bm][C]

You don't [D]have to be gay to make a friend feel good OK


So what[G]ever kind of trouble you might get yourself into[D]

Just th[C]ink of me that night and what I went through[D]

I thought it was [G]Helen or Marie or whatever, giving me head[D]

Until I r[C]ealised it was this dude called Fred ...[D] Hello


And that was a Birmingham H[G]o

Hey, ho hey, h[D]o hey

And that was a Birmingham [G]Ho

Hey, ho hey, ho he[D]y, ho hey

Take it away now..


Em (Her kan du strengt tatt holde (Em) hele veien frem til refrenget,
men vers grepene funker ogsa greit)


Hold on a minute, that's bullsht

You told me it was a microphone

And you wanted me to sing in it

I have a lot of friends and I do lots of things for them

I don't think it's me, I think it's you that have a problem

So zip up and try to be a gentleman

I have feelings too and I don't need you to hurt them

So zip up and try to be a gentleman

So zip up and try to be a gentleman


You don't [Em]have to be gay to make a [D]friend feel good O[C]K

No, you don't ha[Am]ve to be gay to make a [G]friend feel good OK[Bm][C]

You don't [D]have to be gay to make a friend feel good OK


You don't [Em]have to be gay to make a [D]friend feel good O[C]K

No, you don't ha[Am]ve to be gay to make a [G]friend feel good OK[Bm][C]

You don't [D]have to be gay to make a friend feel good OK


And that was a Birmingham H[G]o

Hey, ho hey, h[D]o hey

And that was a Birmingham [G]Ho

Hey, ho hey, ho he[D]y, ho hey
