Intro: A, D, A, E, F#, A (W/ riff)

Verse 1:

A (W/ riff)
I don't wanna leave, Bernardette,
but I don't wanna live with the jet set.
I don't wanna leave, with you paying all my debts,
with that alimony, palimony, whatever it is you get,


Chorus:

E    D                    F#   E  D
Ooh, Bernardette, you are so expensive,
E                         D                   
you've never done a day's work in your life,
            F#   E  D
you've got, no incentive.
       E                     D
You've made a career, out of punting off all the
F#               E     D
men, that you've slept with
E    D                    F#   E  D
Ooh, Bernardette, you are so expensive,


Verse 2:

A (W/ riff)
I can't get a job, Bernardette,
so all that I can offer are a lot of bad debts.
If you marry me, Bernardette,
you'll lose the alimony, palimony, whatever it is you get,


Chorus:

E    D                    F#   E  D
Ooh, Bernardette, you are so expensive,
E                         D                   
you've never done a day's work in your life,
            F#   E  D
you've got, no incentive.
       E                     D
You've made a career, out of punting off all the
F#               E     D
men, that you've slept with
E    D                    F#   E  D
Ooh, Bernardette, you are so expensive,
A (W/ riff)
Ooh, Bernardette, Bernardette,
Ooh, Bernardette, Bernardette,


Sax Solo:

C                                D
Bernardette's got a house in the country,
E                         D
she's really got it made.
C                              D
Her lies made her filthy rich,
E                              D
she's got all expenses paid.


Middle8:

C                    D E                    D
Maybe a famous rock star will fly you away,
C                                         D E                         D
then you'll eat him all up, and spit him out, with a dash of Perrier.
C                                             D  E                                   D
And when you've had enough, you'll throw him away, and take him for all you can get,
C                         D E         
Yeah, you like it, don't you, Bernardette,


Verse 3:

A (W/ riff)
I don't wanna leave, Bernardette,
but I wanna keep a little bit of self respect.
I don't wanna leave with you paying all my debts,
with that alimony, palimony, whatever it is you get,


Chorus:

E    D                    F#   E  D
Ooh, Bernardette, you are so expensive,
E                         D                   
you've never done a day's work in your life,
            F#   E  D
you've got, no incentive.
E                     D
Women like you oughta be locked up,
           F#       E   D
for giving others a bad name
E    D                    F#   E  D
Ooh, Bernardette, you are so expensive,
A (W/ riff)
Ooh, Bernardette, Bernardette,
Ooh, Bernardette,

I think you're sad.
