Badly Drawn Boy - Once around the block guitar chord

Badly Drawn Boy

Once Around The Block

What a great song, in fact what a great album.  This is just a simple version of "Once Around"

until someone can upload a better one.  Surely someone can tab a full version with better

chords and the accompanying electric guitar bit!  

Altogether now...  "Ba da la ba da daaa, doobadooaa!!!"

I'm not gonna pretend I know the proper chords or what wierd effects box he uses,

just that if you get the rythym right using these chords it can sound pretty good.

Am -x02210

Em -022000

F  -133211

G  -320003 OR 355433 (whatever you find easier or sounds better)

Use these chords througout the whole song, they just repeat.  

It should be easy to work out from listening to the song.

Am Em F G x8

1.

Am                Em        F

You quiver like a candle on fire

G

I'm putting you out

Am           Em         F              G

Maybe tonight we could be the last shout

Am           Em            F           G

But I'm fascinated by your style

Am           Em             F          G

Your beauty will last for a while

Am Em F G x2

2.(Same as 1)

You're feeling instead of being

The more that I live on the inside

There's nothing to give,

I'm infatuated by your moves

I'm got to search out for your clues

3.(Same as 1)

I want to repair your desire

And call it a gift that I store from, just wanting to live

Now I see the vision through your eyes

Your innocence no longer fuels surprise

4.(Same as 1)

Trying to outrun your fear

Your running to lose, heart on your sleeve

And your soul in your shoes

Take a left, a sharp left

And another left, meet me on the corner

And we'll start again.

And before you complain, it's a SIMPLE version.  

If I knew how to play it like Badly Drawn Boy does I would have tabbed that.
