The Mayor Of Simpleton - XTC

-----------------------------

from 'Oranges and Lemons'

words & music Andy Partridge

[Transcribed by Duncan Batey, djb@maths.bath.ac.uk]

[Notes: The 'C D' in the verse is played on the track by sliding the

C chord up to 3rd fret and back, arpeggiating(?), while the bass line

dances around to wonderful effect. I just strum the chords. I also

tend to play a lot of the chords with the two little fingers at 3rd

fret, except for the D, e.g.

G Asus4 C Am7

----3-------3--------3--------3--------

----3-------3--------3--------3--------

----0-------2--------0--------0--------

----0-------2--------2--------2--------

----2-------0--------3--------0--------

----3-------0--------0--------0--------

This generally makes it easier to shift between chords, and makes

things a bit more interesting than playing them straight, although

it's not always appropriate -- in the bridge for instance]
