Tabbed by: Tim Lawson


Tuning: Standard Tuning (EADGBe)

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:

B5  A5  E5  F#5  x 2



Verse 1:

B5           A5
  If i was a farmer

E5             F#5
  Instead of a faker

B5           A5
  If i was a realer

E5                  F#5
  and not just some raker

B5                 A5
  Raking through a memory

E5              F#5 
  that doesn't belong to me

B5               A5
  Just someone I could of been

E5               F#5
  if only i kept walking...



Chorus:

D5              G5
  Have another drink my son

D5               G5
  Enjoy another cigarette

D5                    G5
  'Cos it's time you realised...

        E5             B5
you're just an average man...



Verse 2:

B5           A5
  Alone on a motorway

E5                   F#5
  you catch you're breath

B5                A5
  Cat's eyes lead everyway

E5       F#5
  to lonesomness

B5                   A5
  Since you learn to hide your fears

E5                  F#5
  and downsize your dreams

B5                     A5
  Still alive, still sincere

  E5       F#5
inside the scheme...



Chorus:

D5              G5
  Have another drink my son

D5               G5
  Enjoy another cigarette

D5                    G5
  'Cos it's time you realised...

        E5             B5
you're just an average man...



Verse 3: (different chord progression)

B5               D5    G5    E5
  And ff this is dark-ness here

B5               D5    G5       E5     G5
  And if this is dark-ness... coming



Chorus:

D5              G5
  Have another drink my son

D5               G5
  Enjoy another cigarette

D5                    G5
  'Cos it's time you realised...

        E5             B5
you're just an average man...
