Track #1 on The Boy With the Arab Strap (1998)
Belle & Sebastian
Capo 4th fret
He had a C/Gstroke at the age of F24
It could have Fbeen a brilliant cC/Gareer
Painting lAmines in a scEmhool that was tFoo well known
Painting lAmines with a Emfriend that had Fgone before
She Fchallenged D/F#everyone Gto a fight
But the Fpeople Call backed Gdown
And they Fran her Cout of Gtown
Because she Fdrank and Cswore and Gspoke
Out of Fturn, she Cwas the Dvillage joke
She had a C/Gstroke at the age of F24
It could have Fbeen a brilliant C/Gcareer
Getting Amclients to fEminance her sFtrategies
She's filling Amtime in on EmSafeways on FSaturday
She Fwears the D/F#clothes of anG emperor
But her Fpaintings Care a Gsham
And they're Fgoing Cfor a Ggrand
When the dFealers Ccome to Gview
Do they evFer see Cthe rDeal you?
He had a sC/Gtroke at the age of F24
It could have Fbeen a brilliant C/Gcareer
Selling Amlies to the Emboys with the Fold Dansettes
Pulling the Amwool, playing the Emfool, it's no Fwonder that
FHe is D/F#dribbling Gspit tonight
And the Fone he Csent Gaway
Was the Fonly Cone who Gstayed
With a Fspoon and a Cdecent Gbook
And you can Ftell by the Cway she Glooks
He is Fsorry Cand reGsigned
As he Fwets himCself for the Dfinal time
