Chords

Released Dec, 08, 2009 as part of the "Park Lane Archives" [NOTE: as I was trying to tab this sone I realised that none of the notes on my guitar sounded right, so I tuned each string down 1/2 a SEMITONE and found that it worked! So Del Amitri actually recorded this song totally out of tune!! Or at least without checking... So if you are wondering why this doesn't sound right when you play it along with the song, there you go. I've tabbed it up in [Intro]

Hooow we got surrendered

   D          G            C
To somebody's hand-me-down hatred

     F           C   D              G             C
That thinks with its feet while its foot's in the door

You have to be naked to get clean

    F          C         D         G          C
You have to be wicked to know what wickedness means

You have to be holy to know which way folks lean

Not by asking the rich and the powerful

F   C     D       G                 C
How these beggars strike their good will
