Song

The chords for the verse are a bit awkward - it's the usual
type of Steely Dan chord - a triad with a different bass note.
It's pretty hard to play the verse chords at the right speed - so
you might have to forget about the bass note and just play the top
strings. I think this is what the guitar on the record does anyway,
but if you want to get the proper sound of the chord you really
need the bass as well.
Chords for the solo are the same as for the verses.
The rest are just repeats.
Chord Shapes:
-------------
For convenience: a=10, b=11, c=12; etc
(So an E shape bar chord at the 9th fret (i.e. C#) would be 9bba99)

Intro

      

Verse 1

I've seen your
picture your name in lights
above it this is your
big de-but it's like a
dream come true so won't you
smile for the camera I know you're gonna
love it   

Verse 2

I've got your
pin shot I keep it with your
letter Done up in
blue-print blue It sure looks
good on you So won't you
smile for the camera I know they're gonna
love it, Peg 

Chorus

Peg it will come back to you
Peg it will come back to you
Then the shutter falls 
You see it all in 3D it's your favourite foreign movie 
       

Solo

      

Verse 3

I've got your

good on you And when you
smile for the camera I know Love you
Better, Peg  
[Chorus] (x3)
Peg it will come back to you
Peg it will come back to you
Then the shutter falls 
You see it all in 3D it's your favourite foreign movie
