Capo on 4th on the record, although live I think Stephen plays in on 5th. Verse chords: Am: x02210 C: x32010 Cmaj9: x20010 (Use thumb for bass notes) Am C I walk by the water and I Cmaj9 Am Head for your house Though I know that you'll be out In some dirty city bar I stand on your street And I stare at your room And the shadows play and move And your brother comes out with a bat Chorus Dm G Sayin that C Cmaj9 Am You might be with your sister in Paris Dm G On the Rue turnau C Cmaj9 Am Wearing Marline Ditrik glasses Dm G Where we made that bet C Cmaj9 Am Fmaj7 That bet that I knew you'd win for sure E When you where sick on the floor [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/stephen-fretwell/249072.html ] Verse 2 The denim is ripped Beneath the patch It's an itch I can never scratch Now it's so far gone the past The fines I'm Having trouble to contest With the library book you kept The one that sent your head so far west Chorus Far far away In those continental cities Where they get in a race To see who can build the tallest buildings Where you went for some space And wound up With a slightly reddened face And a pain in your gut Verse 3 I turn on the TV And I see there your face And in it there's not one trace Of that old brown bowl of lace And that bowl of lace Is sat beside the gas bar fire Where you probably laid Eating ice cream chocolate lollies That your mother brought home From the freezer store On the old kent road She too had enough And that look on your face That you'd throw accross the dinner table In the middle of grace With your fathers eye closed shut tight And it happend like that Every damn night That I had to come To your house Well tell Charles Okief That I don't want to go to Paris It's sunnier hear And I'm happy in this loveless marriage With the girl from the pru And your father and your sister And your mother too And not forgeting you |
