Tripod: Goodbye Little Alarm Clock
Mornin' people! This is correct, but for the effect of really staccato notes (without
ringing untouched strings) bar on the chords instead of playing open string G for
example.
G B7 C D G7 - D7 (can be used instead of D)

G B7
Goodbye little alarm clock
C D7
You've given me great time
G B7
But lately times been slipping away from
C D
You
C D
Why you've given up on
G B7
Me... I don't know
C D
Alarm clock don't be sour
C D
You're losing all your power
C D
It's your eleventh hour time to
G
Go
G B7
I got you when I was ten
C G
Things were simpler then
C D
You woke me up in time for the early bird
G
Show
G B7
And later on that day
C G
You woke me up OK
C D
In time for Simon *Townsend's
G
"Wonder world"
C
I slept a lot as a kid
G
Oh alarm clock all the things we did
C C
But you didn't do much, you just sat there making
D
Noise and now that's what I do for a living.
G B7
Goodbye little alarm clock
C D
You've given me great time
G B7
But lately time's been slipping away from
C D
You
C D
Why you've given up on
G B7
Me... I don't know
C D
Alarm clock don't be sour
C D
You're losing all your power
C D
It's your eleventh hour time to
G
Go
G B7
And when my teenage years unfurled
C G
When I brought home a girl
C D
You sat and watched and never judged me
G
Once
G B7
But no matter who it was
C G
They came second because
C D
Alarm clock it's always your face that I
G G7
Saw
C
I was a pretty weird kid
G
They said I loved you and I did
C C
But they can keep their skateboard's coz you go backwards and forwards
D
Not unlike words like Glenelg or boob...
**p.m: G B7 C D
"Goodbye alarm clock, goodbye. How could I ever replace you? Maybe I should get one of
those... atomic clocks... that would suit me just well."**
C D
Why you've given up on
G B7
Me... I don't know
C D
Alarm clock don't be sour
C D
You're losing all your power
C D
It's your eleventh hour time to
G
Go
"Goodbye alarm clock, goodbye..."
*Townsends = Im not sure of the word they use here - some guy's last name... it sounds
like a whole range of words, use what ever you want here ;)
** = This bit is just said, and in some very weird rhythm, Scod just plays over the top
of Gatesy's talking.
