Chords with lyrics

Eb MajorEb
 Well, it must have been about half past two in the morning, and just sitting there in the front
Eb MajorEb
room, with Carl and Brendan and Adrian. We’re just sitting listening to music, drinking tea,
Eb MajorEb
talking about the Palace Brothers, Bonnie Prince Billy, that kind of thing. All of a sudden the
Eb MajorEb
room fills with a harsh brightness and in barges my sister mob-handed from cream. She points
Eb MajorEb
at the speakers on the stereo and starts chanting: “Shit band, no fans. Shit band no fans.”
Eb MajorEb
Well, I’m just about to defend our corner when her mate Natalie at the back pipes up with:
Eb MajorEb
“Yeah, the windy minimalism of that last track recalls some of Labradford’s isolationist period.”
Eb MajorEb
Thoroughly defeated, I retired upstairs to bed, left them to it. However, step forward three
Eb MajorEb
years into my secret hayloft, shot with shafts of afternoon sunlight:
D MajorD                   D7D7
Brendan’s changed his name to Federal Metronome.

A7A7    D MajorD   G+G    A7A7        D MajorD
 Did you see me, being escorted round the ground?
    G+G    E MajorE      A7A7   D MajorD    G+G
Motorola in the pocket of my Wampum jeans –
     A7A7     D MajorD   G+G     E MajorE       Eb MajorEb
Over the amber Continental I made a comic bid for freedom.


Eb MajorEb
There are a million retired liberals watching “Countdown”. And in the adverts the close their
Eb MajorEb
eyes and they go to Umbria with Carol.
Eb MajorEb
Oh Carol. Oh Carol.

Eb MajorEb
They subscribe to “Erotic Review” because it’s broadsheet acceptable, and they can read it
Eb MajorEb
in bed with their partners and perhaps try out suggested oils. Ah, but they still feel the need
Eb MajorEb
to board an EasyJet to Amsterdam every now and again.
     D MajorD               D7D7
‘Cos you can’t get “Teenage Eskimo” in Wantage.


A7A7    D MajorD   G+G    A7A7      D MajorD
 See the keepers hanging rancid in the glade
    G+G      E MajorE        A7A7   D MajorD  G+G
Arconada, Pfaff and Bats and Joseph-Antoine Bell.
      A7A7       D MajorD    G+G   E MajorE    Eb MajorEb
I hope for answers in the distance, far beyond dim sierras.


Go on; ask me what we do next. Just attribute it to King Alfred and go like this….
