This is from Belle and Sebastian's 'This Is Just a Modern Rock Song' EP.
Having a very limited vocal range means I usually start getting complaints
from the neighbours about the 3rd or 4th lines...
Anyway, to make it easier you can play this with the capo on the first fret-
just play all the # chords as normal ones (C instead of C#, Am istead of
A#m, etc), and play the B as A#. It means you have to do less bar chords,
which if you're a beginner (or just a bad guitar player like me) you may
find helpful- it's probably not the way B&S play it though...
There's a C#portrait
In a G#back room
Which I'll F#keep for days upon
Which I reC#lent
And gaze for hBours on
The A#mmuscle, skin and boneF#
Of some iG#maginary friend
F# G# F#
So how aC#bout it
Show me G#please
How I will F#look in twenty years
And let me C#please
Interpret Bhistory
In everA#my line and F#scar
That's painted G#there in front of me
F# G# F# G# F# G#
It doesn't C#matter
What I'm G#thinking
What I F#tell myself to do
I end up C#calling F#
I stay C#in to
Defrost the fridge G#
Now the F#kid has gone to bed
A feeling of C#dread
At least when Bshe's around
The A#mtrouble's there
It's F#worse to wake up with her G#falling 'round the room
F# G# F# G# F# G#
Listen C#Johnny
You're like a F#mother
To the C#girl you've fallen for F#
And you're still C#falling
Listen C#Johnny
You're like a G#mother
To the F#girl you've fallen for
And you're still C#falling
And if they Bcome tonight
You'll A#mroll up tight
And tF#ake whatever's G#coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)
F# G# to end.
