THE WEDDING PRESENT
I'm From Further North Than You
From the LP "Take Fountain"
The song is simple & ludic to play. Only one guitar is playing here.
I'll try to tab the ending solo later on.
The LP is very nice as well.

Verse 1 :
And then you said "No, I'm not from the south,
I am from further north than you!"
With that you kissed me full on the mouth
And that was when I knew
Pre-chorus :
B A
you were either drunk or you wanted me
C# B
And, you know, either way I wasn't going to disagree
verse 2:
But how did one crazy night turn into six weeks
How can we be going out if neither of us speaks
Pre-chorus :
B A
I think we're the same in many ways
C# B
And I admit we had some memorable days
Then B + A
E B
But just not very many
E A
I just think we both need more,
C#
and we can't ignore how unhappy we were
B C# A
I'd been abandoned by her and you needed a friend

Verse 3 :
All right the night we walked into the sea I guess that was okay
And when we bought that weird pornography
yeah that was a good day
The first time I saw your red bikini I just couldn't help but stare
And when we counted planets in the sky
I was just happy you were there
Pre-chorus :
B A
I think we're the same in many ways
C# B
And I admit we had some memorable days
Then B + A
E B
But just not very many
E A
I just think we both need more,
C#
and we can't ignore how unhappy we were
B C# A
I'd been abandoned by her and you needed a friend
