You Am I is a four-piece Australian power pop/alternative rock band, fronted by vocalist/guitarist and songwriter Tim Rogers. They were the first Australian band to have three albums consecutively debut at #1 on the ARIA Charts and are renowned for their energetic live shows.
Tim Rogers formed the first version of the band in Sydney, Australia, with his school friend Nick Tischler and his older brother Jaimme in December 1989. This initial line-up was short lived and by the end of 1990 both Nick and Jaimme had left the band.

Song: Heavy Comfort Band: You Am I From: Tim Mitchell [email protected]
On 'Hourly, Daily' Tim Rogers sings this accompanied only by a string arrangement, but I thought it would be interesting to work out the chords anyway. I'm not sure about the lyrics but they should be close.
(Em)Did you catch her in the window (A)do-right woman, do-right man. (Am)Praying for heavy comfort to fill his (C)pockets with his (Em)hands. Man in chip shop, milk bar, postman, used to (A)fork out for your mouth. Now the (Am)compliments have stopped since every (C)assets headed (Em)south. AAmCEm He was a sharp one, what a looker, the (A)last drunk to hang around. Get (Am)well she could, coloured knickers are just (C)for the mirror (Em)now. Had a dream once it was morning in a (A)dress that never frayed. Now your (Am)friends are like eyelashes, too many (C)dropping off these (Em)days. AAm (Violin quickens) EmAEmAm (B)For forty seconds a day I was sure that we were (Em)feeling the same (A)way. Am (Violin quickens again) Em A Repeat 8 times (B)For forty seconds a day I was sure that we were (Em)feeling the same (A)way. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open Learning Videoconferencing Telemedicine
