F# Bm F#
Monday morning wake up knowing that you've got to go to school
Bm F#
Tell your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue
Bm F#
Do you went to work in Debenham's, because that's what they expect
Bm G D A G
Start in Lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor
F# Bm F#
And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start
Bm F#
For careers you say you went to be remembered for your art
Bm F#
Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange
Bm G D
Making life-size models of the Velvet Underground in clay
F# Bm F#
In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you've got no appetite
Bm F#
And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight
Bm F#
So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk
Bm G D
While your cleaning up the mess the teacher's looking up your skirt
A G
You've been used,
D A G
Are you calm? Settle down
D A G
Write a song, I'll sing along
F#
Soon you will know that you are sane
G
You're on top of the world again
My apologies for the poor chord placement in this song. I cannot
fix them as I no longer have the record, but it ought to be fairly
obvious to anyone who knows the tune well. Theo.
Belle & Sebastian fans would be well advised to browse Paul
Mitchell's appealing site 'Sinister' at
www.ph.ed.ac.uk/~mitchell/sinister/
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.
