Boxing Night Acoustic chords by Frightened Rabbit

Chords with lyrics

This is the acoustic demo of Frightened Rabbit's "Boxing Night" It can be found on
the State Hospital EP. I've used the lyrics from the mastered EP version of the
song which can be found on Frightened Rabbit's Soundcloud page. However, if you
have heard Scott perform it on their YouTube channel the lyrics will be slightly
different. I've marked asterisks next to altered lyrics.

Intro: G5G5 (Hammer the root note in all instances of this chord)

Verse 1:
G5G5
It's boxing night,
      B5B5
(And) I'll celebrate in style
  G5G5
In boxer shorts and spirits, floor littered
   A5A5
With ghosts of bottles past
     G5G5
There's a naked hush
 B5B5
Clawed only in breath and of pulse
    G5G5
Of our heart that is kicking
        G5G5
As though it is desperate to be born

Interlude: G5G5


Verse 2:
G5G5
And I'm in hostage blind
B5B5
Deaf to the dim outside
   G5G5
Good Glasgow could burn to it's timber* tonight
    A5A5
And I'd barely blink and I...
     G5G5
Well the clock just stopped
      B5B5
You can cut that on my fucking headstone*
   G5G5
Won't something move so I stop
     A5A5
Staring a hole into the phone

Chorus:
         C5C5
You can get me at home
         D5D5
With a drink to ill health
         C5C5
Just me and these walls
        D5D5
And a beaten up chair
     G5G5
On boxing day

Interlude: A5A5


Verse 3:
    G5G5
This is boxing night
  B5B5
And someone lost an eye
    G5G5
Well I swear I've lost the last drop
      A5A5
Of whatever kept me awake alive
    G5G5
And I fell in the forth

From a heavy right hook
    B5B5
To our blushed and swollen face
  G5G5
And in a single blow it's murdered
         A5A5
And then it takes years to waste away
   G5G5
And I can't call you all mine anymore
     B5B5
And I can't call you full stop
   G5G5
But you know you can call me up anytime
      A5A5
Call me whatever the fuck you want


Chorus:
         C5C5
You can get me at home
          D5D5
With a drink to ill health
         C5C5
Just me and these walls
        D5D5
And a beaten up chair
         C5C5
You can get me at home
         D5D5
With a drink to ill health
         C5C5
Just me and these walls
       D5D5
And my beaten up chair
    G5G5
On boxing day


Outro: G5G5
