Here is an obscure track by the not very well known band Marillion that in spite
of sounding incredibly bad ass, has never (as far as I know) been played live by
the band (Aug 2013), and I doubt it ever will.
So what this means is that if they won't do it, we have to do it ourselves!
Here are the chords, grab your instrument and start playing!

4/4

("Tux on" is whispered 4 times during the intro)
He has Csus4eyes down at the bingo on that lucky Friday night
The Abmatch was rained off Saturday but the panel came in bright
And on EbSunday your mates were toasting you with champagne down the pub
And on BbMonday you went to London To pick the cheque up with your mum
You had a Csus4tux on
You had a Abtux on
The first time you had a Ebtux on
Bblucky man
There's a Csus4photo on the mantelpiece, when you bought your first guitar
And your Abgirlfriend came to see you when you were the rising star
You Ebknew your luck was holding when you filled the local hall
The Bbfirst time and the last time that you thought you had control
You had a Csus4tux on, lucky man
you had a Abtux on
You got a Ebtux on
Bbtux on
Csus4Now you're touring stadiums, you've let it go too far
AbStanding with your manager, your back to every bar
EbBurning all your credit cards, chopping out the pain
BbCrowding into toilets with a host of your new-found friends
You got a Csus4tux on, nothing's changed
you got a Abtux on
Lucky man with a Ebtux on
you're still the same with a Bbtux on
Solo:
| Dm | | Bb | | x3
| Dm | | F | C/F |
| Dm | |
Interlude:
| Csus4 | | Ab | |
| Eb | | Bb | |
It was Csus4eyes down in the parlour, they prayed it wouldn't rain
A Abbrother pulled his cuffs down to hide the blue-black vein
His Ebrazor'd more than lines out, they found him just too late
The Bbfinal performance, the main man lies in state
With a Csus4tux on, look at him now
with a Abtux on
The last time with a Ebtux on
take him away with a Bbtux on
Csus4Somewhere in a tenement, in a well-thumbed magazine
AbSomeone finds a photograph that triggers of a dream
The Ebuniform that symbolises the comfortable life
He's Bbalways known his luck's in but now he's found the drive
He's got a Csus4tux on, look at him now
with a Abtux on
He's gonna get one with a Ebtux on
free admission with a Bbtux on
Get it anyway with a Csus4tux on
He's got a Abtux on
the easy way with a Ebtux on
Bbtux on
End on Cm
