The Beautiful South - Number One Fan guitar tab
Amaj7 F#m Bm D
I was handed down the looks of a man with a broken nose
Amaj7 F#m Bm D
That's the way our family was I suppose
Amaj7 F#m Bm D
But at least you gave me deeply profound
Amaj7 F#m Bm D
As we lay and chattered late upon the cricket ground
E D
You didn'd have to love me
A E
Where others got rid
E D
You didn't have to treat me like a very good friend
A Bm
But I'm glad you did
D E
I'm glad that you did
A F#m
One thing I never said to you
A F#m
And one thing I never can
A F#m
Amongst the false applause and the deafening cheers
A Bm D
I'm you No. 1 fan
Amaj7
I'm you No. 1 fan
Amaj7 F#m Bm D
I'm the richly blessed daughter of a mother with tatooed arms
Amaj7 F#m Bm D
That's the way my family life, life was charmed
Amaj7 F#m Bm D
But at least it gave me a mental grace
Amaj7 F#m Bm D
And a thought at the pit of my mind and a smile on my face
E D
You didn't have to listen
A E
To a word that I'd said
E D
You didn't have to tell me all those silly old jokes
A Bm D
For every tear that I shed
E
Every tear that I shed
A F#m
'Cos one thing I never said to you
A F#m
And one thing I never can
A F#m
Amongst the false applause and the deafening cheers
A Bm D
I'm you No. 1 fan
Amaj7
I'm you No. 1 fan
Amaj7 F#m Bm D
I was handed down a bike with a crooked old wheel
Amaj7 F#m Bm D
But I rode it on a million lanes the way that you made me feel
Amaj7 F#m Bm D
But at least we thought about it so long and so hard
Amaj7 F#m Bm D
As we sat upon our mother in the graveyard
E D
And you don't have to listen
A E
To a word in this song
E D
You picture hangs the same and in the same old place
A Bm D
Even though that you've gone
E
Even though that you've gone
A F#m
'Cos one thing I never said to you
A F#m
And one thing I never can
A F#m
Amongst the false applause and the deafening cheers
A Bm D
I'm you No. 1 fan
Amaj7
I'm you No. 1 fan
Yes I am
I'm your No. 1 fan
