Electric Trains
(Difford/Tilbrook)
Vocal: Glenn
Chords typed up by Geordan Rosario, but thought up by Glenn Tilbrook.
Remember that one, folks.
I figured out the chords from a videotape of their performance on
Conan O'Brien, so if there are blatant errors, that's probably
where they're from. Also, my tape was cut off, so I don't know the
ending!

INTRO: Cm F Cm F
Cm F Cm F
When I was crowned a mummy's boy by friends I didn't like
Cm F Cm F
I made a million trips to school upon my father's bike
Bb Cm Eb Dm Cm
I used to sit between his legs, perched on a piece of wood
Bb Cm Eb Dm Cm G Cm
If it ever rained on us, I'd slip beneath his hood
F Ab F
And at home the radio was on
REFRAIN:
========
Bb Ab/Bb Eb/Bb Bb Ab/Bb Eb/Bb Bb
>From Julie Andrews to Jerry Garcia
G Cm Ab F Bb
Life was all fun and games
Ab/Bb Eb/Bb Bb Ab/Bb Eb/Bb Bb
I was out of my head and underneath my bed
G Cm Ab
Playing with electric trains
Cm F
At home the stereo was on
Cm F
My head was filled with rock
Cm F
I played a willow cricket bat guitar
Cm F
And soloed round the clock
Cm F
My records stacked up in a pile
Cm Ab
Collected from the charts
F Bb
And Top of the Pops
REFRAIN
BRIDGE:
=======
G
Kneeling with torchlight
Shining before me
C
In my bed my eyeballs stuck in readers wives
Eb
Pubic hairs proudly counted everyday
F Bb
Manhood took me slowly out into the milky way
ADLIB: Bb Ab/Bb Eb/Bb (3x)
Bb
Cm F
I chased the girls and made them cry
Cm F
My hair grew down my back
Cm F
The passing of my teenage years
Cm F
Was spent down in the sack
Bb Cm
I played guitar and formed a band
Eb Dm Cm
I puked up all night long
Bb Cm
As people came to sit and stare
Eb Dm Cm G Cm
While I raced through my songs
F
The sound of music passed me by
Ab F Bb
Just like the Grateful Dead
REFRAIN
(repeat to end)

and please correct this.)
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 SQUEEZE 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.
