The Zutons are a British band whose music has proved difficult to categorise, and has been described as "psychedelic cartoon punk" with a unique blend of rock pop, jazz, funk, and general eclecticism. The band consists of: David McCabe (lead vocals, guitar), Abi Harding (saxophone, vocals), Russell Pritchard (bass) and Sean Payne (drums). Guitarist Boyan Chowdhury left in 2007. The band has three albums out as of 2008 - 2004's "Who Killed the Zutons?", 2006's "Tired of Hanging Around" and 2008's "You Can Do Anything"

I know this isn't completely perfect but it's the simplest way to play it on an acoustic and sounds right enough. There's also other bits I didn't include like the solo, but is the bones of it anyway. Use the picking pattern unless otherwise stated:
(Pick) You've got a friend in me darlin' You've got a friend in me Cos when I looked at your face I seen a wonderful place And I knew it was there for me You've got the sweetest smile darlin' You've got it all for me Cos when I looked at your eyes I seen a terrible prize And I knew it was meant for me
You follow me home when I'm finished in work Your creeping so quietly so I don't get scared I sit in your garden on your fence at night I'm watching you live through the day and the night
(Single strum upwards) F#m Ooooh ap ap, ap ap oooooooh x4
(Pick) You've got a friend in me darlin' You've got a friend in me Cos when I looked at your smile it made me laugh for a while And I knew it was there for me
Upstairs downstairs watching me move You'll never let me see you, you couldn't face the truth I feel like I know you in every way Though we've never spoke and we never say
(Strum) F#mEF#m Let me, let me, let me, let me see where you go, F#mEF#m Let me, let me, let me, let me follow you home F#mEF#m Let me, let me, let me, let me, I wanna know
(Pick) Because I know that its meant for me darlin' I know that it's meant for me
(Strum) F#mE And even if I stop to say hello G#mF#m There's so many things that you don't know F#mE I've got a perfect picture of you this way G#mE And if I got to know you it could all change
SOLO (with 4 bars picking)
(Strum) F#mE And even if I stop to say hello G#mF#m There's so many things that you don't know F#mE I've got a perfect picture of you this way G#mE And if I got to know you it could all change DC#mBm I want a new love DC#mBm I'm sick of this pastime DC#mBm But I'm scared of new love DC#mBm It's been such a long time
