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

LA PASTIE DE LA BOURGEOISIE By Belle & Sebastian
>From the EP '3... 6... 9... Seconds of Light' Transcribed by Rob at [email protected] Submitted by Thelonius
You need to capo the third fret, then play the chords as if this were the original fret (ie so where I write Em you get Gm)
This is the intro: -----------------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------------| ------0--2--4--2--0--2--0-----0----------------------| ---2-----------------------2-----2--0--2-----0--2----| ------------------------------------------2----------| -----------------------------------------------------|
Em, A, Em, A, Em, A, Em, Em, Em
G Sunbeam shone, mousy girl on the end pew
EmBm You'd stay home oh if only I'd let you
AmEmA, Em, A, EmA, Em, Em, Em Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
G Municipal pool, you're a junior life saver
EmBm And your friends are all serious ravers
AmD Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
Em Reading Judy Blume
A But you came too soon
EmG You're too tall, much too tall for a boyfriend
EmBm They run and hide, from your buckteeth and split ends
AmD Don't be scared of the books you've read
EmA You're the heroine, you'll be doing fine
C Wouldn't you like to get away?
G Bestowing the memory of good and evil
D On the ones you left behind
Em The heartless swine
A, Em, A, Em, A, Em, Em, Em
G And you love like nobody around you
EmBm How you love, and a halo surrounds you
AmD Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
EmA In the Autumn cool say cheerio to school
EmG Listen Dear, I've been watching you lately
EmBm If I said all these things you would hate me
AmD Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
EmA At the Church bazaar I nearly went too far
C Wouldn't you like to get away
G Kerouac's beckoning with open arms
DEm And open fields of eucalyptus westward bound
C Wouldn't you like to get away
G Give yourself up to the allure of
D Catcher In The Rye
Em The future's swathed in Stars and Stripes
-----Last two choruses X 2
End : Em, A, Em, A, Em, A, Em, Em
