Peppermint Taste Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
You [C]had peppermint gum
stuck between your teeth,
You had [G]white shoes and
bare knees [Am]in 19[G]83.
I had you [Am]breast [C]in my hand
underneath [G]the tree,
[C]But as [G]the tree lost it's leaves you went up[Am]
and [G]left me for an [F]awkward kind of boy,
Who was far too tall and [Am]true to from it didn't last long but
the pep[G]permint taste didn't [F]pass away [C]for weeks,
My school friends hearts they
were bitter they were cruel,
So [G]I left when I was sixteen,
didn't think of at all.
Were you [C]thinking that way too when
you turned your back on school?
Did you [G]work in a bank? did
you marry with a banker?
Do you [F]think of fate at all?
Do you think of cruelty?
Do you [Am]think of me pushing
you up against that tree?
And that [G]peppermint taste didn't [F]pass away
for [C]weeks.[G][C]
[G][F]
[Am][F]
[G]
[C]Well I may have touched your breast,
but I never underneath
But we [G]kissed to hard and we
knocked each others teeth.
Did [C]you smile with relief when I gave up the ghost
and [G]didn't ring your house no more.
Now its [F]been twenty years,
I bet you kiss real good.
I [Am]bet you kiss your banker like
a bankers wife should,
And that [G]peppermint taste doesn't [F]pass [C]away[G][F]
[C]for[G]
[F]weeks.
