Song: NYE
Artist: Originally Perry Keyes, but this version is as performed by Missy Higgins
Tabbed: Kate
So different from the amazing, utterly brilliant original. This version really brings the
liveliness of the lyrics and the tune to the fore. It truly feels like a new year's song.
Capo on 1
G A All the girls are drunk D Maybe so am I G A Here beneath the old express way D I watch 'em walk on by G All the harbour's humming A Bm Bm-A Gonna light the crackers soon G A I just wanna kiss you D Beneath the New Year moon G A All the junky kids are tired Bm D Every single Taxi's hired G A Say I'm moving slow, that you wanna go
Bm Bm-
But I don't wanna leave
-A G A There's no need to feel so bad Bm D Growing up can make you sad G You won't be ignored A D All aboard! Tonight is New Year's Eve! G Mum and dad are in the back yard A D With Gladys Knight and her Pips G My little brother's in his bedroom A D With nicotine on his fingertips G MY BIG BROTHER'S downtown! A Bm Scarin' girls and fightin' Surfies Bm - A G A Said I'd meet him by the dollar kebab stand D Next to Colin Murphy's G A All the junky kids are tired Bm D Every single Taxi's hired G A Say I'm moving slow, that you wanna go
Bm Bm-
But I don't wanna leave
-A G A There's no need to feel so bad Bm D Growing up can make you sad G You won't be ignored A D All aboard! Tonight is New Year's Eve! G I can hear those Westies blow their horns A Bm Desert dust dragging off the dunes A- G Downtown's got it's own sound A F# D Whistlin' through these rooms G And the streets are full of action A Bm The burning sands are hangin' high A G I just gotta get some traction A D Let the light shoot through my eyes G All the punks are lightin' fires A D Drinkin' long necks in the park G Some girl is swimmin' in the fountain A D Singing Buzzcocks in the dark G Your sister always says she's lonely A Bm I stole a New Year's kiss from her A G As the last train left the station A D Every red light was a blur G A All the junky kids are tired Bm D Every single Taxi's hired G A Say I'm moving slow, that you wanna go
Bm Bm-
But I don't wanna leave
-A G A There's no need to feel so bad Bm D Growing up can make you sad G You won't be ignored A D All aboard! Tonight is New Year's Eve! G A Now all the junky kids are high Bm D The train driver's gettin' tired G A Moon is hangin' low, rays are rocking slow
Bm Bm-
Shut your eyes and breathe
-A G A I don't know why you're feeling sad Bm D It's the best time that I ever had G Oh, let me hold you tight A D Let me hold you tight Tonight is New Year's Eve G All right, All right, All right!
