[Intro]
A      A     A   Bm  F#m  Em  G  A
 
[Verse 1]
A                D/F#   G
Every night when I crawl home
A                D/F#       G
I settle down to prime time limbo
A                     D/F#     G
When all the boys are gathered around
         Bm    F#m Em  D
Shouting Ita's on  TV
 
[Verse 2]
A                          D/F#         G
And though the roaches are thick on the ground
A                D/F#      G
Somebody goes to close our window
A                     D/F# G
Keep the noise of the city down
      Bm         F#m Em
Get a dose of integrity
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em              C7    B7
Every week, in every home
          Em                     G/D A/C#
She's got wholesome news for the family
 
[Chorus]
    D          F#m        G       A
I believe, I believe, in what she says
       D  F#m  G  A
Yes I do
    D         F#m            G         A
I believe, I believe, at the end of the day
    D           F#m    G       A
Her magazine'll get me through
 
[Verse 3]
A                  D/F#        G
Ita's tongue never touches her lips
A                D/F#     G
She could always be my godmother
A                       D/F#      G
And though the desk-top hides her hips
     Bm  F#m     Em
My imagination's strong
 
[Verse 4]
A                             D/F# G
She's the sweetest thing I've ever seen
A                    D/F#   G
I'd like to take her out to dinner
A                          D/F#        G
But when I think about the places I've been
             Bm      F#m      Em
I'd probably hold my fork all wrong
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em            C7    B7
Every day and every night
          Em              G/D     A/C#
She's the only one we can depend upon
 
[Chorus]
    D          F#m        G       A
I believe, I believe, in what she says
       D  F#m  G  A
Yes I do
    D         F#m            G         A
I believe, I believe, at the end of the day
    D           F#m    Em       A
Her magazine'll get me through
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em                 C7          B7
To every housewife through the land
         Em                     G/D   A/C#
There is no-one else they can depend upon
          D      F#m          G   A        D  F#m  G  A
How could I not believe, when Ita tells me to?
 
[Solo]
A      A     A   Bm  F#m  Em  G  A
A      A     A   Bm  F#m  Em  G  A
A      D/F#  G   A
A      D/F#  G   A
A      D/F#  G   A   Bm   F#m Em
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em            C7    B7
Every day and every night
          Em              G/D    A/C#
She's the only one we can depend upon
 
 
[Chorus]
          D      F#m          G   A        D   F#m  G  A
How could I not believe, when Ita tells me to?
          D      F#m          G   A        D   F#m  G  A
How could I not believe, when Ita tells me to?
          D      F#m          G   A        D   F#m  G  A
How could I not believe, when Ita tells me to?
          D                 G   A          Bm
How could I not believe, when Ita tells me to?
A             Em     G            A
  Yes it's true when Ita tells me to
