Simply listen to the song to get your timings right. There are a few offbeats and
dropped lyrics but the pattern is very similar throughout. I've tabbed everything
required for you to get it down pat after a couple tries. Really pump out some
melancholy when you play it as well. Enjoy.
Capo 5th
There's a crDack
In the haGndle of a coronation G/Ccup
That I onG/Cce brought back
DFrom the study trip in AGthens
Where we pG/Claited my hair
And I put G/Ceyeliner on
DUntil they stopped in the Gstreet
And poiG/Cnted at me
and i fG/Celt ugly pride
DFor the firGst time in my liG/Cfe
There's a warm, warm raDin
Upon the Ghotel balcony
Where we G/Clooked out upon
a darkening sea and the
Dlight And the lGight upon the mG/Cediterranean
G/CBurned like candles in the memory
Of aDll the thiGngs that we mislaid on the G/Cway here
DWhy did NGirvana ever bother to plG/Cay here?
G/CHey there, I don't want to stay here
GI decree thDere is a higher plane
DSome place of lG/Cittle consequencGe
GThat I migDht see your face again
Dbefore the liG/Cving and the deaGd
Are G/CreunDiteGd
And this town,
this town is killing me now
I can't believe I waited so long
From the shopping trolleys on the riverbed
To the sound of the bass binss booming
Can I see your face in this acid light
Of another suburban evening
As I roll my eyes up to these dirty skies
Till I count the days till I am leavin
I decree there is a higher plane
Some place of little consequence
That I might see your face again
before the living and the dead
Are reunited
What is love?
What is love in the time of ecstasy
And bare-knuckle fighting?
Lord, won't you deliver me from the wave machine
And the transparent bikini
Like isn't there some skeleton on me
I should find that I might vanquish thee,
Wont you listen to me, your unfaithful servant
of filthy, fucking language
I decree there is a higher plane
Some place of little consequence
That I might see your face again
before the living and the dead
Are reunited
What is love
What is love in the time of ecstasy
And bareknuckle fighting
Don't tell me that he died for that
Councillor forgive me for I
Knew not what I vandalised
Don't tell me that he died for that
Take me down to the Paradise club
Where the girls are drunk and oversized
DOn't tell me that he died for that
There's a crack in the handle of a coronation cup
That I once brought back
I decree there is a higher plane
Some place of little consequence
