The Delgados - Coming In From The Cold guitar tab
The Delgados.
(Mantra Recordings)
This is the same as the original tab posted by Harvester (but crafted by me) with some notable additions and refinements.
From the superb album 'Hate'. This is 'Come In From The Cold'.
This is a simplified version; but at least I may have provided
some seminal proteins to beget further Delgados tabs. This isn't how they play it or at least not how they played it when I saw them a few months back; it is though, I feel, the best way to play it with one (or maybe two). This is how my band played it when we covered it at a recent gig.
Tab (played over the second and fourth verse).

Verse I
C Fmaj
Step inside
Am C Fmaj
A better dream job you could never find
Am C Fmaj
A set of keys and bottles heaven wide
Am Dm E
Find yourself a seat and settle in for the ride
Verse II
Raise your glass
We're going to drink now 'till the summer's past
So bring the hats out we all need a laugh
And let the neighbours talk then make you lose them
(we can )
Chorus
C Am Em (G)
Try for the right kind of life
C Am Em (G)
I only wish you'd had a chance to decide
Asus Dm Am
Have a look around you there's no one there
Dm G
How can you call this fair?
Verse III
Not to blame
No-one's telling you you're not to blame
Thing's around they just don't feel the same
And I don't recognise this person that still remains
Verse IV
Settle down
I really hope that you can settle down
Take your tent and trailer out of town
We'll find a place to roam where you could escape to
We can
Chorus
C Am Em (G)
Try for the right kind of life
C Am Em (G)
I only wish you'd had a chance to decide
Asus Dm Am
Have a look around you there's no one there
Dm G
How can you call this fair?
Coda
Em C/G D G
Everybody's waiting for the big surprise
Em C/G D C
But nobody will notice when it does arrive
Fmaj
So send....it on
Chorus
C Am Em
Try for the right kind of life
C Am Em
I only wish you'd had a chance to decide
Asus Dm Am
Have a look around you there's no one there
Dm G
How can you call this fair?
C Am Em
We're comming in from the cold
C Am Em
And everyone's searching for someone to hold
Asus Dm Am
Have a look around you there's no one there
Dm G
How can you call this fair? (repeat to fade).
