Notes(about this part):
Em A7 Em A7 Em |
Well, I'm a common working man, |
Em A7 Em A7 Em | - I play this part with barre chords
with a half of bitter, bread and jam, | - This has nothing to do with the
Am9 A7 C A7 C | tab showed before
and if it pleases me I'll put one on you man, | - I prefer to don't play the 1° string on the last
Am9 A7 C A7 C | chord of each line, since it sounds lower and
when the copper fades away. | similiar to the original track.
C Em
* riff *
Em
The rainy season comes to pass,
D
the day-glo pirate sinks at last,
C
and if I laughed a bit to fast
Am D
well it was up to me.
Em
Take you to the cinema
D
and leave you in a Wimpy Bar,
C
you tell me that we've gone too far,
