I saw this in the archive and it was so confusing I was motivated to
help it out, I think the words are correct, but more important, I
believe the chords are in the right place.

This is a cool song, so enjoy. Mike Makarov

Subject: "Pulling Mussels" correction

Here it is: the Squeeze classic, "Pulling Mussels From The Shell,"
written by Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford, from the 1980 album
"Argybargy."
Difford and Tilbrook often perform this song acoustic -- in fact, I
started
playing it after seeing them on an early "Unplugged" before it got
trendy
with big stars. Note: I use G# and climb back down to G on the chorus,
but
on TV they played a different chord which I couldn't figure out
visually.
Also, they skip the solo and go straight to the last verse...Enjoy!
