Text File

This is the last song on Ten New Messages. I am going to try and tab as much of the 
as i can. So far i have done Little Superstitions and We Danced Together. Apologies for the 
of the lyrics. Here's my third tab:

Standard Tuning - EADGBE

E     - 0 2 2 1 0 0
G#m   - 4 6 6 4 4 4
A     - 5 7 7 6 5 5
B     - 7 9 9 8 7 7

Intro - 0:00 - 0:20

There is no guitar until 0:14

E

Verse - 0:20 - 1:11

E
So here you are in hoxton two years on
          G#m
Since you left that little nowhere that you're from
A
First few weeks you stayed with your ex
B
Same old arguements but without the sex

           E
Now you're renting down the road its not so cheap
G#m
Every weekend police state in the street
A
Wiry looking kids hoods up eyes down
B
Weave their bIkes through the arty crowd.

Chorus - 1:11 - 1:25

A             B        A
  Now they're squaring up
      B             A
"What phone you got bruv?"
             B              A
Yeah they're gonna give you grief
                  B           E
But you still get home in one piece

Verse - 1:25 - 1:53

E
In the party your mates spot a celebrity
    G#m
But your not fussed by the gay guy off CBBC
A
Limos ferry hen nights to the west end
    B
The night is dragging its heels till the end

Chorus - 1:53 - 2:18

A           B       A
   Now he's in your face
         B           A
"Got any drugs on ya mate?"
        B            A
You get out for some peace
          B            A
Still get home by half-three
           B         A
Now you're home
         B           A
Crashing out in your coat
    B                  A
Jet lag from the night bus
         B      E
Planning your escape

Interlude - 2:18 - 2:56

Bridge - 2:56 - 3:09

E
No point trying to act all hard
       A             B
As the kids take the piss as you walk past
E
No sane place left to go
     A                   B
Your mates wanna try and stop this agro

Chorus - 3:09 - 3:21
A         B       A
  Now you tear it up
          B         A
Just need one night off
           B           A
Get out of this in one piece
          B            A
And come home for some sleep

Outro - 3:21 - 3:45 (End)

           B    A
Now you're home
      B           A
Crash out in your coat
    B                  A
Jet lag from the night bus
     B        C  C#
And plan your escape

And thats it. Its pretty much all chords but i put it down as a tab beacause of the solo
