BELLE AND SEBASTIAN - "boy with the arab strap" Tablature
Official BELLE AND SEBASTIAN Tablature & Sheet Music »
G
A mile and a half on a bus takes a long time
C
The odour of old prison food takes a long time to pass you by
C
When you've been inside
G
Day upon day of this wandering gets you down
C
Nobody gives you a chance or a dollar in this old town
G
Hovering silence from you is a giveaway
G
Squalor and smoke's not your style
"I don't like this place"
C
We better go
G
Then I compare notes with your older sister
G C
I am a lazy gett, she is as pure as the cold driven snow
F#..i think..tell me what it is if you know it
G
What did you learn from your time in the solitary
G
Cell of your mind?
G C
There was noises, distractions from anything good
C
And the old prison food
G
Colour my life with the chaos of trouble
G
Cause anything's better than posh isolation
C
1 missed the bus
C
You were laid on your back
F
With the boy from the arab strap
G
With the boy from the arab strap
It's something to speak of the way you are feeling
To crowds there assembled
Do you ever feel you have gone too far?
Everyone suffers in silence a burden
The man who drives minicabs down in Old Compton
The Asian man
With his love hate affair
With his racist clientele
A central location for you is a must as you stagger about making free with your lewd and lascivious boasts
We know you are soft cause we've all seen you dancing
We know you are hard cause we all saw you drinking from noon
Until noon again
You're the boy with the filthy laugh
You're the boy with the arab strap
Strapped to the table with suits from the shelter shop
Comic celebrity takes a back seat as the cigarette catches
And sets off the smoke alarm
What do you make of the cool set in London?
You're constantly updating your hit parade of your ten biggest wanks
She's a waitress and she's got style
Sunday bathtime could take a while

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BELLE AND SEBASTIAN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
