The Beautiful South - Bell-bottomed Tear guitar tab

G

This is the dinner prepared

Gmaj7

This is the dress that I made

G7

This is the child I brought up

E7 Am

And this is the woman you laid

C G

This is the woman you laid

G

This is the perfume I wore

Gmaj7

This is the hotel we stayed

G7

This is the way that I lay

E7 Am

And this is the woman you laid

C G

This is the woman you laid

D Bm Eb

We promised ourselves this is no one-night stand

D Bm Eb

Let us draw all the curtains and strike up the band

D Bm Eb

And I'm thrilled by the gentlest touch of your hand

D7

We pretend

G Gmaj7

There's a tear, there's a tear

G7 E7 Am Cm G

Not through confusion through fear, through fear

G

This is the smile that I wore

Gmaj7

This is the song that we played

G7

This is the way that I lay

E7 Am

And this is the woman you laid

C G

This is the woman you laid

D Bm Eb

Next morning our eyes filled with sleepy regret

D Bm Eb

A kiss and good-bye and a long cigarette

D Bm Eb

But the pillow I lay on is cold and it's wet

D7

Can't pretend

G Gmaj7

It's a tear, it's a tear

G7 E7 Am Cm G

Not through confusion through fear, through fear

Dm G Bb

And knowing at least that love came so near

Dm C G

Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear

Gmaj7 G7 E7 Am Cm G

D Bm Eb

Roll out the red carpets and unplug the phone

D Bm Eb

Root out the photos you've already shown

D Bm Eb

'Cos this one night you won't sleep alone

D7

Just one night

G Gmaj7

It's a tear, it's a tear

G7 E7 Am Cm G

Not through confusion through fear, through fear

Dm G Bb

And knowing at least that love came so near

Dm C G

Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear

Gmaj7 G7 E7 Am Cm G

G Gmaj7

There's a tear, there's a tear

G7 E7 Am Cm G

Not through confusion through fear, through fear

G7 E7 Am Cm G

Not through confusion through fear, through fear
