According to _Beatles Complete_ (Hal Leonard publishing, 1987 - a most questionable source):

POLYTHENE PAM

(The Beatles) D/E A E (x 2)

E D A E

Well, you should see Polythene Pam

D A E

She's so good looking but she looks like a man

G B

Well, you should see her in drag, dressed in her polythene bag C D E

Yes, you should see Polythene Pam. C D E

Yeah, yeah, yeah D/E A E (x 2)

Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt

She's killer diller when she's dressed to the hilt

She's the kind of a girl that makes the _News of the World_ Yes, you could say she was attractively built.

Yeah, yeah, yeah

D/E A E (x2) D A E (x 9?)

A D

She came in through the bathroom window A F#m D

protected by a silver spoon

A F#m D

But now she sucks her thumb and wonders D7 A

by the banks of her own lagoon

(A) Dm

Didn't anybody tell her? A Dm

Didn't anybody see?

G7 C

Sunday's on the phone to Monday

G7 C (go to 2/4 for the C) Tuesday's on the phone to me

She said she'd always been a dancer Worked in fifteen clubs a day

And though I thought I knew the answer Well, I knew but I could not say

So I quit the police department and got myself a steady job

And though she tried her best to help me

she could steal but she could not rob Chorus

[Hope this isn't too far wrong]
