My Perfect Cousin by Undertones ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My perfect cousin - The undertones ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:Lloyd mathews(aged 14) Email:Lloyd8658@hotmail.com Tuning: E (basic/normal) It's a great song, there most successful, and, this is my adapted version of the chords, which is easier to play, but sounds exactly the same. I do know all the words, and have written them at the end, but on the tab I just wrote them at each chord change. Strum all the strings, i didn't put -0-0- etc. on each string not in use cos it looked too crowded, but its strumming all 6 strings, and holding the frets.

called kevin, who's sure to go to heaven, always spotless clean and neat, as smooth as you do get 'em, he's got a fur-lined sheep skin jacket, my mother says it cost a packet, she won't even let me explain, that me and kevin we just look the same, Chorus oh my perfect cousin, what i like to do he doesn't, he's the families pride and joy, he's mummy's little golden boy, Verse 2 he's got a degree in economics, maths, physics, and bionics, he thinks that i'm a cabbage, cos i hate university challenge, even at the age of ten, smart boy kevin was a smart boy then, he always beat me a subuteo, cos he flicked the kick, and i didn't know, Chorus oh my perfect cousin, what i like to do he doesn't, he's the families pride and joy, he's mummy's little golden boy, Verse 3 his mother bought him a synthesiser, got the human league in to adviser her, now he's making lot's of noise, playing along with the art school boys, girls try to attract his attention, but what a shame, it's in vain, total rejection, he won't ever be left on the shelf, cos kevin, he's in love with himself, Chorus oh my perfect cousin, what i like to do he doesn't, he's the families pride and joy, he's mummy's little golden boy. enjoy! =============================================================================== www.TAB6.com
