[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

But the blind singer

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
Ah but I got one for you, Portobello Belle
[Instrumental]
