Chords

Tabbed by Daniel Finn ([email protected]) 01:19 06/09/2005 First tab written down properly, so it's a bit scratchy. Seems like a lot of chords, but once you figure it out it's all simple progressions and patterns, nice and easy :) Am working on tabbing the lead, but will take a while as I'm only a rhythm guitarist. Anything you spot wrong, or tips to give me, email me at [email protected] Standard tuning: EADGBe No Capo Chords:

  Well, now then Mardy Bum

               G
I've seen your frown and it's like

F#m              Em
looking down the barrel of a gun

    A       D
And it goes off

                       F#
And out come all these words

              G             F#m
Oh, there's a very pleasant side to you

  Em                       A
A side I much prefer, it's one that
[Chorus]
G*                  A
  Laughs and jokes around

         D              A
Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yeah

   Bm                               G*
To get things off the ground and it was

            A
up, up and away

             D             A
Oh, but it's right hard to remember that

   Bm
on a day like today when you're

G*                   A                         (D)
all    argumentative   and you've got the face on
| D | F# | G F#m | Em A | [Verse 2]
D                      F#
  Well, now then Mardy Bum

           G        F#m
Oh, I'm in trouble again

Em          A          D
aren't I? I thought as much.

                       F#
Coz you've turned over there

             G           F#m
Pulling that silent disappointment face

    Em                           A
The one that I can't bear. Well, can't we
[Chorus 2]
G*                     A
  Just laugh and joke around?

         D              A
Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yeah

   Bm                               G*

G*                   A                         (F#5)
all    argumentative   and you've got the face on.
[Bridge]
F#5                         G5
  And yeah, I'm sorry I was late

                 F#5                              G5
But I missed the train and then the traffic was a state

               F#5                         G5
And I can't be arsed to carry on in this debate that reoccurs

             F#5                               G5
Oh, when you say I don't care, but of course I do

                A5
Yeah, I clearly do.
[Solo] | D | F# | G F#m | Em A | x2 [Chorus 3]
G*                   A
  So laugh and joke around

    argumentative   and you've got the face on.
