[Intro] C  Dm7  F  Am  G 
 
     C              Dm7 
Everyday I see you wearing things 
           F               Am 
That have never been worn before 
           G                 
While the children out in government schools 
      Am           C 
Send money for the poor 

     C               Dm7
And all you buy you bargined for
F               Am
With your little man 
       G  
So that from your silks down to your paramour 
   Am           C 
Your tres tres paragon 

[Refrão]

          G                  Dm 
So it's a back beach in the summer 
      Em            Am 
The chalet for the snow 
         F 
You poor Hoochie Gucci Fiorucci Mama 
            C                 G 
You've got really no place to go 

    C               Dm7
Antiques flown in from Venice 
   F               Am
Fill your house upon the hill 
          G
While your money sold the soul of rock and roll 
      Am           C 
For some cheap disco thrill 

      C               Dm7
I've seen your peers pouting over beers 
   F               Am
The loneliness it showed 
         G
Mistaking tacky sex for sensuality 
   Am           C 
They bought in Toorak Road 
 
[Refrão]

          G                  Dm 
So it's a back beach in the summer 
      Em            Am 
The chalet for the snow 
         F 
You poor Hoochie Gucci Fiorucci Mama 
            C                 G 
You've got really no place to go   
 
Dm7               C 
Inside her empty castle 
    Dm7                Am 
Her lonely heart will dwell 
     Dm7                  F 
The life that she's been losing's 
           Fm7        G 
Like some stony bagatelle 
     Dm7             C                
The loving that you never found 
      Dm7             Am 
Don't know the reason why 
     Dm7           Fm7 
Ooh Hoochie Gucci Fiorucci Mama 
F  G           C 
   Don't you cry
