             WEEKEND IN PARADISE
               JAMIE WEBSTER

NOTE: This was a request for this song to be done in standard tuning.
   On the album version it seems as if he is playing a half step
   down as the chords I have sound a little brighter. As the song
   progresses though it sounds correct though.

   If I play along to a LIVE version of this song from YouTube it
   sounds perfect. Make sure to keep this in mind when playing and
   rating this tab.

   Lastly, Jamie Webster plays this with a capo on the 3rd fret
   but I left it without a capo. Capo if you want to and transpose
   the chords then.

   Based on what I have told you please do not rate this tab less then
   5 stars. It is what it is. Thanks.

INTRO:
D E A E
D E A E


CHORUS:
   D
The wheels have fallen off
D E
It also signs of endin’
 E   A          A   E
You’ve had enough for hours but ya?carried?on pretendin’
E  D
Ya shoes?have lost their shine
 D  E
The convo’s lost?it’s pace
E  A          A    E
So now you’re in a taxi feelin’ feelings of disgrace
  E  D          D    E
You’ve never got no money ’cause of all the times ya lend
     A
Was it a pointless three day bender
    E       E     A   A  A
Or a weekend in Paradise, my friend?


VERSE:
   A
The spring is in his step on Friday afternoon
      E
There’s a feelin’ sweepin’ through the air
     D
All the lads are on the blower, they’ll be finishin’ soon
     E
In your mind you’re already prepared

    A
I’ll phone me man for sugar then I’ll phone our kid
       E
‘Cause he’ll cover it til I get paid
       D
Then you’re out with all the firm an’ you’re off ya lid
   E
Only confident, never afraid

   A
The night draws to a close and now there’s nowhere to go
  E
Ya turn an’ look at one of ya mates
      D
There’s a lad he know from work and he lives alone
  D     E           E
So it’s more sugar an’ a couple o’ crates


BREAK:
F#m        F#m  E         E   D        D   E
Well is it one of the times when it’s all worthwhile and you’ve had a scream?
E F#m       F#m  D
 Or is it burning your bridges at both ends
D A               E    E
 Same old scene since you were seventeen?


CHORUS:
N.C.     D
Ah now the wheels have fallen off
  E
It also signs of endin’
    A             E
You’ve had enough for hours but ya?carried?on pretendin’
   D
Ya shoes?have lost their shine
   E
The convo’s lost?it’s pace
  A              E
So now you’re in a taxi feelin’ feelings of disgrace
    D          D    E
You’ve never got no money ’cause of all the times ya lend
     A
Was it a pointless three day bender
    E       E     A   A  A
Or a weekend in Paradise, my friend?


VERSE:
 A
Some can handle it no more
A E         E
 Some’ll do it forever
 E    D
Spend ya weeks walkin‘ round with ya head to the floor
  E
No time for the news or the weather

A             A E          E
Ya first pint on a Friday, ya last gin on a Sunday mornin’
    D
And it all creeps up on ya in between
   E              A
No reasons why, no early warnin’


BREAK:
F#m           E         E   D        D   E
Well is it one of the times when it’s all worthwhile and you’ve had a scream?
 E
That’s alright
E F#m       F#m  D
 Or is it burning your bridges at both ends
D A               E    E
 Same old scene since you were seventeen?


CHORUS:
N.C.     D
Ah now the wheels have fallen off
  E

    A             E
You’ve had enough for hours but ya?carried?on pretendin’

Ya shoes?have lost their shine

The convo’s lost?it’s pace
  A              E
So now you’re in a taxi feelin’ feelings of disgrace
    D          D    E
You’ve never got no money ’cause of all the times ya lend
     A
Was it a pointless three day bender
    E            A         A
Or a weekend in Paradise, my friend? (backward strum of A chord)
