Outdoor Type chords by The Lemonheads

The Outdoor Type by The Lemonheads written by Tom Morgan
>From the album Car, Button, Cloth.  All of These Things Sank.

I noticed this one was missing from the archive (at least in the album version), and it's one of my favourite Lemonheads songs and great to play, so I thought I'd share my interpretation, in repayment for all the times I've found 'that elusive chord in the middle 8' with help from this site.

The song is in the key of D, but I reckon the best way to play it is by capoing the guitar at fret #2 and playing in C.

Intro (and main chord pattern)
C / C(b) / Am / Am (x2 on lead guitar and bass only)

Verse 1 (lead and bass)

C            C(b)           Am              Am
Always       roof           always         rent.
C     C(b)      Am            Am
And   never    foot         tent.
F             G       C    C(b) Am
Can't         fire   save my   life.
  F          G         F       C
I lied      being    outdoor type.

Repeat intro chords (with rhythm guitar and drums)

Verse 2 (same chords as V1)

I never slept out...

Bridge

Em             Am
Too            let...
    F                  G
You knew              looking
   Em          Am
I lied         fit
    F               G
God bless           indoors.
  F          G         C C(b) Am
I lied      being     outdoor type
F
Never  ...
                     G
                 ... bike.

Verse 3 (rhythm change (break down) on first two lines)

F                G                 C        C(b) Am
Never           swim              beard    even fight
  F          G         F       C
I lied about being the outdoor type.

This tab is all my own work.

Now all we need is someone more patient than me to tab out the lead lines...
