: Come on, man, yourself; cut the guy some slack.  The lyrics aren't
exactly a breeze for anyone outside of the UK (not even sure I've got
'em right), and there's a little more than DAE here.

According to _Beatles Complete_ (Hal Leonard publishing, 1987 - a most
questionable source):

POLYTHENE PAM
(The Beatles)
D/E  A  E  (x 2)
EE Piano Chord 
                   DD Piano Chord 
   AA Piano Chord

Well, you should see Polythene Pam
DD Piano Chord 
              AA Piano Chord 
            EE Piano Chord 

She's so good looking but she looks like a man
GG Piano Chord 
                             BB Piano Chord 

Well, you should see her in drag, dressed in her polythene bag
CC Piano Chord 
   DD Piano Chord 
         EE Piano Chord 

Yes, you should see Polythene Pam.
CC Piano Chord 
     DD Piano Chord 
     EE Piano Chord 

Yeah, yeah, yeah

D/E  A  E (x 2)

Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt
She's killer diller when she's dressed to the hilt
She's the kind of a girl that makes the _News of the World_
Yes, you could say she was attractively built.
Yeah, yeah, yeah

D/E  A  E (x2)
D  A  E  (x 9?)

[Geez, while I'm at it, here's She Came in through the Bathroom Window.

AA Piano Chord 
                                 DD Piano Chord 

She came in through the bathroom window
AA Piano Chord 
          F#mF#m Piano Chord 
         DD Piano Chord 

protected by a silver spoon
AA Piano Chord 
            F#mF#m Piano Chord 
                 DD Piano Chord 

But now she sucks her thumb and wonders
D7D7 Piano Chord 
                      AA Piano Chord 

by the banks of her own lagoon

(A)                DmDm Piano Chord 

Didn't anybody tell her?
AA Piano Chord 
                   DmDm Piano Chord 

Didn't anybody see?
G7G7 Piano Chord 
                       CC Piano Chord 

Sunday's on the phone to Monday
G7                        C        (go to 2/4 for the C)
Tuesday's on the phone to me

She said she'd always been a dancer
Worked in fifteen clubs a day
And though I thought I knew the answer
Well, I knew but I could not say

So I quit the police department
and got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
she could steal but she could not rob

Chorus

[Hope this isn't too far wrong]
