Intro: DDsus4D[5x]
G She lives on Pony Street
GC And they should scatter flowers at her feet
DCG But when they come calling I think it's appalling
AmDG They're sober and they're polite
DCG They're deeply respectful when I would expect them
AmD To keep her out all night
G That little martinet
GC Will get her own way yet
DCG If you need instruction in mindless destruction
AmDG I'll show you a thing or two
DCGAm You used to adore me but now my life flashes before me
D For you to view
 
DADGEm Oh mother, oh mother, sometimes you are so mortifying
DADGEm From the hole in your leopard skin tights I can tell you've been spying
DADGEm But your generation confesses before it transgresses
DADGEm Those Super-8 movies of daddy in your disco dresses
 
G If you're going out tonight
CAm I won't wait up
Reading "Das Kapital" 
A Watching "Home Shopping Club"
D While you're flogging a dead horse
CGDG All the way down Pony Street
DGD Where you live after a fashion
CGDG All the way down Pony Street
DGC The life and the soul of every indiscretion
AmD That lives on, that lives on, that lives on
CG/B Pony Street
 
DADGEm Daughter, oh daughter, you know I will love you forever
DADGEm But spare me the white ankle socks with the lace and the leather
FADGEm For you and your cartoon threat do no good to resist me
FADGEm For I am the genuine thing but for you it's just history
 
G If you're going out tonight
CAm How can you be sure
Where you lay your pretty head 
A Mother may have been before
D So you're flogging a dead horse
CGDG All the way down Pony Street
DGD Where you live after a fashion
CGDG All the way down Pony Street
DGC The life and the soul of every indiscretion
AmAm That lives on, That lives on
AmAA That lives on, That lives on, That lives on
