BELLE AND SEBASTIAN - "take your carriage clock and shove it" Tablature
Official BELLE AND SEBASTIAN Tablature & Sheet Music »
Intro: F# C# F# C# F# C# G#
C# G# F# C#
In the boardroom the quiet man takes a second to think what to do;
F# C# G#
He's out of his seat and he's starting to speak and he hears his own voice;
C# G# F# C#
For years and years he's done nothing but bear down, and put up with all their demands;
F# C# G#
She sits like a viper and offers a clock without giving a damn...He takes it;
C# G# F# C#
"Honour forbids me, but honour be damned, you have wined till you got what you want;
F# C# G#
I did the work and when things were going badly you left us to rot";
Bridge: F# C# F# C# F# C# G#, etc.
C# G# F# C#
He locked the door of the boardroom and turned, like the scene from the old country song;
F# C# G#
Towering over the table he is lost; he is drunk with it all:
C# G# F# C#
"You only came back to us when we'd turned it around, when we'd rescued your arse from the fire;
F# C# G#
Your contribution to all that we did is to say it was dire"
Bridge 2: F# C# F# C# F# C# G#, etc.
C# (one strum) G#(ibid.) F#(ibid.) C#(ibid).
"Night after day after night I've been working, despite of you fucking us all;
F#(ibid.) C#(ibid) G#(ibid.)
Now I'm going to die, I don't care if you cry, just please leave me alone;
C# G# F# C#
And spare those tears for yourself, we've had those 'till we're sick, you should leave while you still have the chance";
F# C# F# C#
The others were shocked at this shameful display at the end of an hounoured career;
F# C# G#
He paused in the silence to pull down his tie and observe the melee.
Given that these are all sharp chords, they can be played barre style, or open on capo one; whichever sounds better to your ear.

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.
