Belle and Sebastian is a band from Glasgow. Led by guitarist/vocalist Stuart Murdoch, the seven-piece band has an intimate, majestic sound that is equal parts folk-rock and '60s pop. Murdoch has a gift not only for whimsy and surrealism, but also for odd, unsettling lyrical detail which keeps the songs grounded in a tangible reality.
Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Belle and Sebastian released their first two albums in 1996: Tigermilk, recorded over three days
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
lots of catchy synth in this song. the chords i've written out try to follow both the bass and the melody, but in some places it's a toss up whether you want that or not. in either case, i've made it as detailed as i can. as such, it's completely up to you. :)
as for the "if you touch me you can never go back" part, it's tricky. i hear a C bass all the way through with only the synth funking it up. you might have luck with an Fmaj7 if you're really not into my attempt.
enjoy though, i couldn't believe there wasn't a tab for this amazing song already. super-cute.
