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!

This is a fairly simple approximation of what Frank plays - fine for
playing for yourself, but not accurate enough for playing along.

Granty2k12 has done an excellent tab of this song, so head over there
if you're up for a slightly more complicated but accurate version ;)

FRANK TURNER - UNDEVELOPED FILM

Standard tuning, no capo

C - x31003
Ab7 - x64000

G
Sorting through my things the other day
C G
I found an old film camera that I thought I'd thrown away

But there it was covered in dust
C G
I checked it and the film inside still had a few pictures left

So I just snapped it off and then
C G
I found a place on the high street that could still develop them

I dropped them off and clean forgot,
C Em
It wasn't until this morning that I picked the pictures up

Am
And there before my eyes in vivid colour
C G Em
Pictures of her stood smiling bold on the edge of a cliff by the sea
Am
On the south coast somewhere,
C G C
Wind in her hair, wrapped against the cold

G
There were many other pictures in the set,
C G
Most of them were taken in the first months after we met

When we were lovers like happy drunks
C G
Stumbling for each other with each step, each breath in our lungs

Pictures of nights from soho bars
C G
A weekend in the country when we borrowed my sister's car,

Her naked, serene on a hotel bed
C Em
Smiling at the camera, her beauty like a word unsaid

Am
And there before my eyes on the glossy paper
C G Em
Quiet whispers of something I had lost or put aside
Am
For the longest time
C G C
The hope that I might find some kind of peace

Em D
Oh oh oh where did it go go go
Em Ab7
I used to know exactly where I kept it
Em D
There right there under the stairs oh please
Em Ab7
Darling I swear swear swear that's where I left it
Em D
Secret little things that you keep locked away
Em Ab7 Em
In a small wooden box that you barely even mention to yourself
D Em
It's not exactly hope, nothing quite as simple as youth
Ab7 C
Perhaps it's just a way of looking past the truth
D
We're all fading away
Ab7 Em C
The truth I can see in the very last frame of that long lost roll of film
D Ab7
A picture of me, a young man holding a camera up to a mirror

Em Am
And there before my eyes in that old reflection
C G Em
A declaration bold: We won't stay gold

All that's left of her and the rest
Am C G C G
Is a small locked box of undeveloped film and photographs
