STEREOPHONICS - "goldfish bowl" Tablature
Official STEREOPHONICS Tablature & Sheet Music »
I've seen the other tabs posted for this song, and I think neither is definitive.
They both have the chorus chords wrong…
I've taken the original tab (posted by Mick Buttrose) and changed the chords in the chorus,
which are now right. As far as the riff posted in the second version goes, I don't know -
I don't have my guitar with me, but it looks OK, so I've put it in with a couple of alterations
I think are right. As for how to play the chords, here's how I do it…
G - 320033
D - xx0232
C - x32010 or x32030 as an occasional variation (Cadd9)
Bm - x24432
I hope that puts this one to bed - any questions/corrections/comments email Matt Croxall

The hall down town just burned to the ground,

Hard up outta luck time to ride the village bike

Grape vine here's the wife lays down her royal flush

burning sleeping thieving cheating
beating I'm eating I'm deep in a goldfish bowl.

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 STEREOPHONICS 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.
