COME ON SISTER
by Belle & Sebastian
from the album 'Write About Love'

tabbed by drew (iamdrew@gmail.com)


lots of catchy synth in this song.  the chords i've written out try to
follow both the bass and the melody, but in some places it's a toss up
whether you want that or not.  in either case, i've made it as detailed
as i can.  as such, it's completely up to you.  :)

as for the "if you touch me you can never go back" part, it's tricky.
i hear a C bass all the way through with only the synth funking it up.
you might have luck with an Fmaj7 if you're really not into my attempt.

enjoy though, i couldn't believe there wasn't a tab for this amazing 
song already.  super-cute.

VERSE 1
     C          C/B
It's six in the morning
    Am7         G
The men started working
  F     /           F     /     
I can't sleep, no I can't sleep
       C           C/B
I keep feeling the light
     Am7            G
So I think I should get up
    F    /             F    /                   
And call you, going to find you

         Em     
And it's fun, thinking of you
       Dm7 
Like a movie star
         Em                
And it's dumb, thinking of you 
         F            G7
Like the way that you were


VERSE 2
C        C/B
Everyone loves you
    Am7        G
The boy in the corner
    F   /         F   /
The postman the policeman
   C          C/B*         Am7       G
It does me no good to keep looking ahead
        F  /      F / 
To your future adoration

         Em     
And it's fun, thinking of you
       Dm7 
Like a movie star
         Em                
And it's dumb, thinking of you 
         F            G7
Like the way that you were


CHORUS
      F                    C
Every moment like a sudden pleasure
      F                        G7
Every moment that will get you by
         F              
And it's going to cause a crisis
Em                       Am7
Might just lose a little faith


VERSE 3
     C                 C/B
I've seen all kinds of strangers
    Am7          G
The rich and the famous
     F     /              F     /
They don't count, no they don't count
        C          C/B
Now I'm back on my beat
       Am7         G
On the same greasy street
           F /         F    /
There's an angel on my shoulder

        Em
Saying, ho!
                      Dm7
Have you ever said an honest word?
        Em
Saying, yo!
                     F      G7
Have you ever said a pretty word?


CHORUS
      F                    C
Every moment like a sudden pleasure
      F                        G7
Every moment that will get you by
         F              
And it's going to cause a crisis
Em                       Am7
Might just lose a little faith


Don't touch me,
       C                  C2       C3    C    C2   C  (timing's tricky here)
If you touch me you could never go back

Am7
Faith
        Dm             Em
Come on sister, have a drink
       F           G7           
Have a seat at the bar
        Dm             Em         
Tell me all about your men and your
F             G7            C
Hopes and the hours of your life



INTERLUDE

C  C/B  Am7  G  F  /  
C  C/B* Am7  G  F  /


          Em
You could love
                             Dm7
After all that's what you're looking for
        Em
You can love
                Dm7
It's a currency unspoken of


FINAL CHORUS
         F                    C
But it's hard to form a good opinion
          F                        G7
If you're going to look at me that way
         F
And it's going to cause a crisis
Em                       Am7
Might just lose a little faith
                      
Don't touch me 
       C                  C2    C  C3    C   C2   C
If you touch me you could never go back

Tell me all about your men and your

Hopes and the hours of your life
