Sweet And Tender Julian chords by Onsind

Intro:
B E x4


Verse:
B
We were promised the best years of our lives,
B
but all we got was name-calling and fights,
        E                       B
because narrow minded fools run comprehensive schools
B
Jules was one of the chosen few,
      B
whose charisma and charm seemed to carry him through
            E
but when he turned his eye on you,
               B
well there was not much you could do
              C#
‘Cause he was pissing about
                E                 B
while they were passing out their rules,
B

again, and again, and again,
        C#             E
but his punishment was overdue.


B       B/G                  C#/G#
 Julian Stokes, used to tell jokes,
              E                      B
spent all his time trying to make us laugh
           B/G                       C#/G#
It was all fine, till he crossed the line
                 E                     B
when he took the piss out of Chelsea’s dad
                B/G
She planned her sweet revenge
    C#/G#             E               B
for weeks and when it came off it was class
       B/G                 C#/G#
Julian Stokes, sobbing and soaked,
             E                    B
walked home alone from the formal dance.

B E B E


Verse:
B
Chelsea’s dad was on remand
B
for assault with intent, by the taxi-stand,
         E
and each trip to visit him,
                        B
seemed to take a little longer than the last
B
Jules was just too cool to care,
         B
He would mention things that others wouldn’t dare
    E
and he soon learned the price
   B
of making light of someone else’s plight
     C#
When nostalgia grips me,
   E              B
it hits me in the face,
B
again and again and again
     C#                 E
That school was such an awful place.


Chorus:
