The Pipettes was a British indie pop girl group formed in 2003 in Brighton. The band ceased in 2011.
Gwenno and Ani Saunders were singers in the group with Gwenno occasionally taking to the keyboard.
The Pipettes, at that time consisting of Julia Clark-Lowes, Rose Elinor Dougall, and Becki Stephens and their backing band, The Cassette, formed at a seaside party in Brighton in 2003 and entertained audiences with their trademark polka dot dresses, doowop anthems and choreographed hand movements.
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!
Marked "intermediate" because you need to be able to play barre chords for the switch F and Fm - otherwise a very straightforward song to play. Standard tuning and no capo.
CGF Half past one on the dance floor and my thoughts have turned to murder
CGF Total strangers feel my eyes burning into them
Fm They know that I wanna kill them
GF 'Cause I can't get over yooooou, and I can see them looking at you
G And I just can't, can't get over
CAmGF Yoo-ooo-ooou, it hurts to see you dance so well
CGF Quarter to two on the dance floor but my feet won't dance no more
CGF I've got no spirit for dancing since you walked right out the door
Fm Now all my moves are floored
GF 'Cause I can't get over yooooou, and I can see them dancing up to you
G And I just can't, can't get over
CAmGF Yoo-ooo-ooou, it hurts to see you looking so fine
CAmGF Yoo-ooo-ooou, it hurts to see you dance so well
GFFm I-----I remember the times that we kissed and the beats my heart missed
CG But I think that I missed a beat when we went dancing cheek to cheek
GFFm C 'Cause yooooooou, you knew all the best moves, all the funkiest grooves
G But you never knew, how much I was in love with you, and now it's,
CGF Two o'clock on the dance floor and I'm going home, I'm going home,
