-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Turin Brakes Average Man -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Tim Lawson Email: timlawson100@hotmail.com Tuning: Standard Tuning (EADGBe) Average man, very nice chord progression here. Fiddle around with the rhythm, you'll get it soon enough :) Chords:

E|-^Bm2---^Am0---^Em0---^F#5x---^D2---^G3--- B|-3---1---0---x---3---0--- G|-4---2---0---x---2---0--- D|-4---2---2---4---0---0--- A|-2---0---2---4---0---2--- E|-2---x---0---2---x---3---

Please note: on the version of the cd you mostly only hear the lower notes of the chords strummed. And dont get scared by the F#5 powerchord, I think a F#minor also works in stead off the F#5 if you're planning to play everything in bare. But as i said you only hear the lower notes so the F#5 was more of an indication of what strings to hit. I try to keep as much open chords in my playing as possible though :) Intro: Bm Am Em F#5 x 2 Verse 1:

^Bm If i was a ^Amfarmer ^Em Instead of a ^F#5faker

^Bm If i was a ^Amrealer ^Em and not just some ^F#5raker

^Bm Raking through a ^Ammemory ^Em that doesn't b^F#5elong to me

^Bm Just someone I ^Amcould of been ^Em if only i kept ^F#5walking...

Chorus:

^D Have another ^Gdrink my son ^D Enjoy another ^Gcigarette

^D 'Cos it's time you ^Grealised... you're j^Emust an average ^Bmman...

Verse 2:

^Bm Alone on a ^Ammotorway ^Em you catch you're br^F#5eath

^Bm Cat's eyes lead ^Ameveryway ^Em to lone^F#5somness

^Bm Since you learn to ^Amhide your fears ^Em and downsize your ^F#5dreams

^Bm Still alive, still si^Amncere in^Emside the ^F#5scheme...

Chorus:

^D Have another ^Gdrink my son ^D Enjoy another ^Gcigarette

^D 'Cos it's time you ^Grealised... you're j^Emust an average ^Bmman...

Verse 3: (different chord progression)

^Bm And ff this is ^Ddark-^Gness ^Emhere ^Bm And if this is ^Ddark-^Gness... ^Emcoming ^G

Chorus:

^D Have another ^Gdrink my son ^D Enjoy another ^Gcigarette

^D 'Cos it's time you ^Grealised... you're j^Emust an average ^Bmman...
