I Knew Prufrock Before He Got Famous - Frank Turner

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

Tabbed by James Oliver (jamesdoliver@googlemail.com)

I don't think the chords are quite this straight forward, and I'm yet to see Frank play
to know what he's actually doing. But for now, these chords work, and I shall update it
I have seen what is actually played. I decided to work out the chords because I have not 
them anywhere on the internet, and that is a shame because "I Knew Prufrock..." is
Turner at his briliant best! Email me if you have any suggestions for changes to chords etc.

We planned the revolution from a cheap Southampton bistro

D					 C
I don't remember details, but there were English boys with Banjos

C				       Am
Jay is our St George and he's standing on a wooden chair

G						F
And he sings songs and he slays dragons and he's losing all his hair

D			    E
And Adam is the resurrected spirit of Gram Parsons

D				   C
In blood instead of Rhinestone and living in South London

     E				F
And no one's really clear about Tommy's job description

	 D				C
But it's pretty clear he's vital to the whole damn operation

    	 D				       E
And Dave Danger smiles at strangers, Tre's the safest the girl I know

    D						    C
And Zo and Harps will scamper off to victory in the City we call home

			C
And we won't change are ways
	         G                   F
We will proud remain, when the glory fades, when the glory fades


	  C				   Am
Yeah I am sick and tired of people who are living on the b-list

	     G				       F

      D			  	  E
And I know I'm not the one who it habitually optimistic

	    D					 C
But I'm the one who's got the microphone here so just remember this

     C			      Am
Well life is about love, lost minutes and lost evening

      G				    F
About fire in our bellies and about furtive little feelings

	D			       E
And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all flickering

	 D				   C
And they help us with remembering that the only that's thing left to do is live

	      Am			       G
After all the loving and losing, after all the heroes and the pioneers

F				    G				C
The only thing that's left to do is get another round in at the bar.
