So this is my version of an acoustic tab for this song (as I saw no one else had done one yet!)
If you listen to the track you should get the rhythm (it's very distinctive latin
sounding track!) Hope you enjoy it, and happy playing! Sam

Well you were just too damn Fm7aloof
Wearing your Morrissey t-shiC7rt
The kind of girl that's born forC7 youth
Well that's a blessing and somFm7e curse
I tell you son beware of tFm7hose
Who peak too earA#/Bbm7ly
Cause all that magic can't be fFm7roze C7
And now it's you who ain't worFm7thy
So baby when I getA#/Bbm7 famous
Everybody's gonna Fm7see
Awoh-oh-oh-C7oah A#/Bbm7
You never really knew Fm7me
(Repeat as in above Verse & Chorus)
Does it make sense to simplify
Now we're knotted in riddles
But I don't care, do you know why
The girls are falling like skittles
Whoever said you needed rights
To tame your beauty
I'll say goodbye to lonely nights
Girls form an orderly queue please
So baby when I get famous
Everybody's gonna see
Oh oh oh
You never really knew me
So given knowledge, given time
I'd take us out of recession
I'd tell the world that all was fine
And that there freedom's a blessing
Cause when I'm looking from the top
You'll all seem smaller
Ain't that what all us humans want'
To stand that little bit taller
So baby when I get famous
Everybody's gonna see
Oh oh oh
You never really knew me
[x5]
