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

I'm getting old, can't pick out the chords from the mix as well as I used to. This is close, but let me know if you have a correction. I think there's a quick F chord played on the keyboard in the intro.

GCGC AmBmAmBm DCDC G She's in her tower and she's beautiful, sure The quicker you learn she has no soul to discern At least no business of yours. You bear the vacuum of scars DC She was put there to tempt you like the perfume of flowers
